Thanks for your kind comments on my pics. Welcome to the site!

Thank you Pierre! I just found this place today and I'm simply amazed! So far I've only had the time to browse parts of your gallery... Boy am I impressed! I shoot some photos in my spare time. I only got a digiltal camera, but that's much better than none... :) This way I can afford to experiment, make mistakes and learn. We'll se what you guys here on Caedes think of my photos... ^_^ See you around +ppigeon. (I'm not finished browsing your gallery! ;) )

A Marry Christmas to you too! :)

:-)
We're waiting to see your own stuff !

Go for it, dude! We're all artists, critics, and friends here. Hey longol!

Thanks, Klas, for your kind comments! And be sure to check out samarn, a fellow Swede who does much of the best work on this site.

No problem! :) I've allready found samarn. Thank you for the tip though ;) (I'm happy to get more in any case.) And I agree he does shoot amazing photos. :) I still got sooo many to check out.

Hehe! You made a large tour on my pics ! Thanks for the comments :-)

:) I'm not finished yet ;) but I'll have to make a break for the day soon, or else I will get nothing else done... ^_^

Red dunes in the Namib desert are incredible. The biggest is 380 m high...

Hey Klas, Thanks for taking the time to browse my pictures. I appreciate the feedback. =) You've got some pretty darn good work yourself. Keep them coming... =)

Thank you, I'll try to keep it up Beowulf. ^_^ I got a few more shots to upload but I don't think I can be as active as I've been the last few days. I got to attend to my studies too. :)

This weekend I dedicated to browsing the ceades.net and tuch-up my photos, I'll have to put a leash on myself so I don't get too addicted... o_O

^_^
/Klas

wow...didnt expect a reaction like that....many thanx for ur words..u r too kind. I'm glad that u like my works. & thank u for the support. : )

np :) my pleasure. it did take some time though... ^_^

I use a combination of two apps. photoshop & MS Photoeditor. & the filter i used for primordial harmony is glowing edges. folks commenting gives me the drive to churn out images. & i have been uploading atleast 3 a day.....all 4 this wonderful website that caedes.net is. : )

Thank you for all your great comments Klas:-)

No problem, Darryl! I'm only hafway through your gallery though. I'll have to finish some other day... ^_^

Thank you for your nice comments Klas.Thanks for the attention.Your works are very nice,and has a different viewpoint...keep it up... ; )

Thanks Cem, I'm looking forward to see more pieces from you too. :)

Thanks for the nice comments on my works,Klas.

No problem, Joost. You give me so many great comments, so it's the least I can do. I'm trying to keep up and watch at everything you've done but I'll have to resume another day. :)

Thanks for your comments and tips on my pics.

Im a beginner. I need these tips. thanks !

I must say that a experiment a lot using collor corrections. Mostly I like the photos just as they are. But for this site a change them to make them more suitable as a wallpaper. After all this side is about wallpapers in the first place. In second place its a wonderful photo comunity where I can learn, get tips and watch pictures from others like you kjh000.

thx

No problem, Stefan. :) In the beginning I liked my shots best untouched too. But then some guy at another site commented on my work and tought my this color correction tip. I really noticed the difference when I tried it, so I now work with all my shot's that turn out ok in composition and light. I'm glad if my tip is of any help to you too. :)

Thank you for all your comments

:) np Nick. :)

thanx for commenting on reflections of shelback...: )

hope u have a brilliant holiday : )

Hooo! 301 comments during 11 days... A good recruit for caedes.net... Thx for ur comments!

Ah, so my Karma equals comments. I wasn't sure if it included online time and submitting photos and stuff. :) What can I say... It's fun to be here. I guess I'm a bit addicted to caedes.net by now. So much to see and so little time. 0_0

^_^

Hohoho! You're coming from spymac.com??? Thanks to MMMAI... he will have at least done something good ... :-D

Yup. :-D I'm a Mac user. I started out there with my photography working with their photo club. It was the first place I found online that could spur my creativity. I discovered it just after I bought my digital camera this summer.

I used an old camera during my late teens but in the time between 20 to 30 I've not really done any photography to talk about. (Mainly because the developing costs and lack of good SLR camera.) Now, this summer and autumn I've shot away like a lunie. ^_^ I guess some shots are bound to be ok when you take thousands...

hey......thanx 4 commenting on the bike pic i did(i am sentimentally attached to that pic) & the mood pics too.....u know u mite be my number one fan ...lol jk. hope all is good : )

Thank you, Klas, for all your kind comments on my pictures. You're building up an excellent portfolio here yourself - keep 'em coming! Happy Christmas!

Yes Klas ,you have a very nice and beautiful photo gallery.Great work!! I like it very much.

I'm a proud father from today 11:30 AM. :)

My son was borned 6 weeks early and lies in an incubator but he's in fine condition. :) I'm tired as hell. You don't sleep too well when you wait for your wifes acute Caesarean section... I'll probably not spend as much time here I'm afraid. ^_^ You'll understand, right? ;)

I really love this place. I thank all you guys who have given me so many great comments for these weeks.

I'll not have time to answere to your latest post right now so I'll post this in the latest threads that have come up. :-)

Yuppie! ^_^ Weeee. :)

And Happy New Year to all of you guys!

(... no photos???)

Thank you, Pierre! I'm so happy. ^_^ It's indescribable.

:) :) :) :) Are you kidding?! Of cource I have photos. ^_^ Not really desktop material though. ;)

*Just woke up, on my way back.*

Catch you guys later. :)

I imagine you with a baby on the left arm and a mouse in the right hand, an eye on the feed bottle-warmer and the other on caedes.net... Not easy, man! :-D

Klas to you wife and you-------Many CONGRATULATIONS--------

Congratulations!!!!!!!! I am very happy for your wonderful news.

I´m really glad for the commets you made of my pictures, Tack!

Congratulations to you and your wife. Is this you first baby? Also, I hope your wife is doing fine.

Congratulations!! A new addition is oh-so-sweet! Hope all is well with you and your family! =D

Thank you so much, all of you guys! :) lol Pierre! ^_^ My wife, me and our baby are doing great. (It's my first baby by the way.) After tomorrow they will move my son to an ordinary neonatal ward. (He's been in an intensive care ward since he was borned.) He'll be in an incubator for some time but he's in very good shape for being born too early and being too little for his age. He can come out from the incubator for some hours allready. He's so cute :) I guess every childs parents think that of their offspring... ^_^

:) I'm so happy! :)

Happy New Year to you all!

Cheers!

/Klas

Hope everything goes fine.

Thank you! I think everything is going great. He just needs some time to gain more weight, and get a bit stronger. Besides that everything is prefect. :)

smashing work! I luv 'got the blues?' oooooooo gives me the goosebumps!!!!!!!! anyways I luv it!

Thank you so much, that was a nice compliment.

Cogratulations on the addition to your family. Cheers;-)

Thank you Darryl! I'm exhausted but very happy about it. I spend the larger parts of my day in the hospital by his side. He can spend some time soutside the incubator now and rest for some hours on my or my wifes chest. ^_^

... and he took his computer with him... ;-)

Hehe. ;) I'm still home, but I admit I would like to have a notebook... I just woke up and are on the go. (I must have my morning cofffe or else there's not much I'll achieve today...) I'll prepare for my wife to come home today. I'll have to do some serious cleaning the nearest few hours... Catch you later. ;)

a bit late, but... Congratulations to you and your wife Klas !!! ^________^

It's never too late for that. :) Thanks Lucy! ^_^

hi Klas.....hope all is good with u & urs. very interesting work over the last few weeks. like ur blue love pics .....& ur macros are always wicked. :) but... i didnt realize my work was inspiring...jk :{D

ur words of encouragement are far more valuable than any height i could reach with my work. thank you. : ) u have brought a big fat smile to my face :-) --> : {) --> :{D --> = {D

I'm glad I could do that. You sure makes me feel good with your comments Avi. It's quite fun to be equally supportive of each others work, don't you think? ^_^

={D

Thanks Klas for your kind words on "keeping lookout". Your work is always an inspiration - I love the way you take simple objects and turn them into striking images. I hope all is well with your family...

hey Klas, thanx for commenting & leaving happy happy joy joy feedback on my latest uploads. As for that pic i uploaded with the lower res.....dunno what came over me, i usually upload 1600x12000, i'm sure u know, 'twas a momentary lapse of concentration : (............:{D

Hehe, that can happen to the best. I'm freakishly tired these days o_O so I don't know what I do sometimes. I'm glad I could make you happy though! ^_^

Cheers!

Thanks, Klas, for your latest comments - they're much appreciated. I'm glad you're still able to find a little time to view our work and share yours with us!

What can I say Simon... I'm addicted. ^_^ Well, I guess there could be worse things. My son just got home this day on a more permanent basis. I'm really happy about this. My best guess though, is that involuntary insomnia will be my middle name soon :)

Haha! alright i will be posting the remake of your "Water on rose" picture thank you very much for letting me edit it and put it on here =)

No problem. :) Im looking forward to see what you've done with it. ^_^

ack i cant upload it imediatly... turns out ive already uploaded two images today... ahh fiddlesticks

Then I'll have something to look forward to tomorrow. ;-)

Cheers,
Klas

Hi Klas, Greetings from alaska. Thank you for your very kind comments. I have always loved taking pics, but for now am limited to the equipment i have. But this site and submiting is a whole new thing for me,lol.The digital camera is credit card sized and is Very basic. But in the right conditions it takes awesome pics. I looked through your pics and they are beautiful!!!! Of course i am partial to the rose! Peace : ) K.

thanx for ur continued support Klas : )...i wouldnt do any of these pics if it wasnt for u guys & gals : )

Klas, a late congratulations on the birth of your son! Just finished looking at your photos and you have some great shots! Just bought a new camera on-line today (Olympus Camedia C-5000), so I can't wait to get my hands on it to take some photos. I'll share some of my work with everyone soon.

Thank you all for the nice posts here. :) I've been a bit busy so I haven't had the time to answer 'til now. (Hehe, not really now either but I'm a sucker for multitasking. I'm tube-feeding my son right now... )

I'm very glad you like my photos Kathy. I suspected you had a snapshot style camera. It's a good thing you have it so you can share your beautiful shots with others. (I somtimes wish I have a snapshot camera too bacouse my Sony is a bit too large to be carried around all the time.) I still hope you get a better camera someday because it will fit your style better I think. It's so much more fun too when you get to play around with the settings more freely. (You can do that on many smaller cameras too though.) The advanced amateur cameras get sheeper every year... ;) I think you would love it jsut as much as me to have one of those. :) You have a very nice balance in your compositions and a great sense for picking nice subjects. Keep it up. I'm looking forward to seeing more from you. :)

Thank you Avi too. I know exactly what you mean. I wouldn't put so much energy in my photography if it wasn't for this place. :)

And last but not least. It's never too late to congratulate me in this matter Teresa. :) Thank you so much. I'm still adjusting to my new life as a father. ^_^ I like it so far but I'm tired as **** all the time. I'm glad you like my photos too. It was nice to hear that you get a camera now. I'm looking forward to seeing some shots from you sometime soon. :)

/Klas

Congrats Klas on first place in the Love contest, You really deserved it;-)

Thank you Darryl! I'm really happy about it since I'm quite new here. I'm quite new as a photographer too so I think it's really nice that so many people like what I do. :)

Well done Klas, as I said a most deserved first place.

Congrats & very well done!!! I'm happy 4 u. : {D

Thank you Sam and Avi! :)

Thanks you for the kind words,support and comments on my photos of Lanzarote.Thank you very much Klas.

No problem, Joost. :) I enjoy looking at your shots. At the moment I don't have enough time to comment on your or others work. :/ Sorry for being so late. ;)

It's me a great pleasure Klas.Your work and photos are very beautiful.

Thank you so much Joost. :) I'm glad you think so.

thats agood idea Klas, i have done likewise for easier quicker access. when i started doing pics 4 caedes, i had fun, but this is something altogether different. yes I'm getting a lot of kicks out of this. its good working withu Klas. : )

Thans very much for the comment on(Sharon roses)Klas.

Thanks very much for the nice comment and the very good advice on (winter in Coloma park).Thank you very much for the support,Klas.

No problems Joost. Thank you for the support I get in return :)

Thank you, Klas, for your encouraging words on Painted Lady. That was the final of six versions I worked on (during the Super Bowl). Too much fun! Your contest seems to be a real success with lots of great renderings pouring in already.

No problem Tracy that was a really great edit you did. I'm happy that the contest have had such fine submissions. I'm sure it will be a tough call to judge in the end... ;-) I think this is good fun too but I have a bit of a creative hangup right now... I'm not good enough to competer with you guys. ^_^ Damn you are good! :D I feel honored that my shots are used by such fine artists in this highly creative way. :-)

I agree Klas, it is very tough to think of something when all the entries are so good. I feel useless in the manipulation department hehe. Good luck to us:-)
