Greetings and welcome to Caedes.
Thank you for your comments about “Look Out Below.” It’s always great to hear what people think about my photograph’s.

I think your comment about "Sundown Duck" is a fair one. I tried it of centre but it looked better when I used the shadows as a frame. Thanks for letting me know what you think, another persons perspective is always welcome:-)

thanks.

Thanks for the comment on "Shades of Grey" I'm glad you liked it :)

Thanks for the comments on my Pansies photo. The wind was blowing pretty good when these pictures were made and caused some blurring. I'm glad that you enjoyed viewing it.
Russ

Thanks for viewing and commenting on my Purple Passion photo. I'll make a note of your suggestion for the next time I see one of these flowers. I'm glad that you viewed this image.
Russ

Thanks for viewing and commenting on my The Sinks GSMNP4 photo. This is one of my favorite areas in the Smokys. I'm glad that you viewed it.
Russ

Thanks for your comment on "Camouflage is for wimps". It's always good to have some constructive feedback :-)

Thanks for looking no messy edge on horizong almost did not post 'cos of that Not tallest but definately the coolest , look really interesting it's called the Swiss RE tower

...and thanks too for your kind words on "Family outing" - I'm glad you liked it :-)

Hey pom1, thanks for your comments on "Community Sunset". I really appreciate it. Hopefully there'll be more like it to come in the near future. :)

Thank you for visiting my Red Mill image. Can you imagine anyone waiting for a new coat of paint before snapping the shutter?

Thanks for explaining about the stain on the sheep. It makes sense, of course. At work, I color-code one screw head on the middle hinge of doors I want the cleaning crew to lock each night after they finish their routine. It sounds simple, but it took me a long time to come up with a system that works and is easy for everyone to remember!

Thanks for commenting on my image. I love the light from my little sunbeam and it's effect on my Daffodil. I'm glad that you like it. I used a black velvet background on this.
Russ

Hi Philip. Thanks for the comment on the rural chapel. I do need to get a wide angle lens. I'm slowly working my way up. But I have been wondering what kind of camera you're using. As I mention at your post today, I am very impressed at how you were able to take such a long range telephoto shot thru the branches even using spot focus. Did you hand focus? Steve

Hi Philip, Thanks for commenting on Sunset 3, I will use your suggestion on the clone tool...

Thanks Philip for viewing and commenting on my Spring is Near 2 image. I'm glad that you like this photo.
Russ

Thanks Philip for your nice comments on my image. I'm glad that you enjoyed my Tybee Island 4 photo.
Russ

Yes Philip. 'summer's colors' is a scanned photo. A pity for the quality... Thanks for looking :-)

Thanks for your comment on Desert Beauty. Your input is always welcome.

- Ryan

Thanks for the comment on -Alps in summer-.Much appreciated.For information i never use photoshop.All my images are natural.

Agree with this bloody 4/3 format... You could respect the 6/4 size (and add some borders) in a RW version :-)

Ooops! I would say: "You could post an image with 6/4 size (and add some borders)..."
With the second image, we could see the original composition :-)

Note: I don't like the 4/3 format of the new numeric cameras ;-)

testing my signature...

and again

Hello Philip, thank you for your comments on High Falls!
Glad you enjoyed it. I agree that the actual image wasn't super super quality, I took it over a yr ago and my skills were lacking then. I thought this was the best way to salvage the image.
JuneBug

Thank you Philip for the comment you left on 'Spring around the Bend". What do you think I could have done to improve the shot?

Thanks for your opinion on "Killdeer Framed." Just another way to look at it. I can appreciate that you like Darryl's original better as it was not my intent to compete with it and I feel the same. I'm not always partial to frames either, but in this case, I appreciate that he allowed me that idea and practice.

Good morning Philip
Many thanks for your appreciation of "Freshwater National Park 1". Am glad you enjoyed it. I had arrived while still dark, and this frame was snapped just after the sun rose. I know it may appear over-exposed, but the day itself was actually brighter at the time - a definite sunglasses day even that early - so have had to reduce the glare and intensity of the photo.
Enjoy your day
Romane

Hello Philip, thank you for your comments and suggestions on ~All Wet~
JuneBug

thank you for the kind feedback :)

About 'Summer residence': I just increased de contrast a little. The winter light à 4 PM was very nice. Thanks Philip :-)

Hi Philip...thanks so much for taking a moment to view and comment on Feelings...I appreciate your positive comments and glad you like it...I see what you mean about the horizon...darn it, wish I'd noticed that before uploading...guess I was too pleased with the colors and not paying attention to anything else...tks for the appropriate feedback here.:Pat.

Hi Philip, thank you for your kinds words on "Peach Perfect"! I appreciate them very much! Please stop by again to visit! Sincerely, Marilyn

Thanks for visiting my Line Shack and Aspen image. I would like to thak you for your suggestion of desaturateing the yellow but as the old saying goes, " It's not nice to mess with mother natue" This was a year that all aspens were at their peak. In the next few days I will be uploding an image that is yellow to almost the point of disbleif.

Azaleas 2 is a clipping from my Azalea bush that was stuck in a fence post in the sun. I used a Black velvet cover art board for the background and photographed this flower in telephoto-macro mode with a fill flash. I used ISO50 at f11 for the exposure and let the camera pick the shutter speed. Thanks Philip for viewing and commenting on this image.
Russ

Hello Philip, tks for commenting on Sparkling Water! Glad you liked the image. Appreciate that you took the time to leave a comment.
JuneBug

Thanks, Philip, on behalf of Alexis and me for the compliment on "Early Morning Mist." We both appreciate your support. Steve

Hello Phillip. Nice comments about “The Flying Lesson” Thank you. I use a Canon EF 200mm F2.8 L series lens. Very expensive but very effective too.

No need to thank me, you captured something that I can truly appreciate.

Pom1
I am so far behind in my correspondence. Please forgive the late posting to your comment.

Your comments mean a great deal to me. I am so very pleased that you took the time to visit my Line shack and Aspens images. Thank you for your comment. I do not feel that you are picky. I feel that you know what you like. I must disagree with you on one point. I would not desaturate the yellow of the aspen trees as this is what I am attempting to display. Aspens of this color are indeed rare. I am open to your suggestions anytime. I will always give them some thought and make the change or explain why I did not. Thanks
fotobob

Thank you for your comments about "Rainbow Lorikeet" and for putting it in your favourites. I’m pleased you like it Phillip.

Thanks for the comment on "Sushi Feast". We are filling the bird gallery with some nice images;-)

Hello Philip, how are you? Tks so much for taking the time to comment on Chrysanthemum! I am glad you liked the blue/white. I will be posting a few more this wk.
JuneBug

I am very late with my correspondence to you. Please forgive the delay. Your input is important to me so pleases don't feel that I have avoided you.
Thanks for all of the nice comments about The old Mill image. It is next to impossible to get to where this image was created due to washed out roads and rock slides. In many ways this is good, however the sad part is it is very difficult getting there to get a photograph.
fotobob

Hello Philip, tks for your comments on Freesia!
JuneBug

Philip;
Thank you so very much for the support that you have given me on my Aspen series. It is comments like yours ,and others that make it worth the while of displaying these "works of love" It has been how I have always worked. I must have a feeling for a subject before I can capture those feelings into my work. I am happy that you enjoyed my Maroon Bells image. It is going to be hard to find a closer to top that one.
fotobob

Hi Philip... Thanks for your comment on Did you hear about...... im glad you liked it... the only reason i have about the sky.. maybe it was where i was taking it... i was under the trees.. facing the sun.... good job no one was around they would wonder what i was doing.. lol.. every time they decided to fly.. i would duck down.. hate the things.. lol..

Thanks for the comment on "Pretty Colors 3" I'm glad you liked it :)

Hey Philip, thanks for commenting on "Majestic". I was not as fond of the lighting in this shot like you. It was a little overexposed which seemed to have flattened the feel of the image. I will keep hunting for the right combination of weather and time of day:-)

Nice to hear you feedback on "Fading Shadows", Philip. Thank you:-)

Hi Philip,
Glad you like it!.......But, YES!...a smaller aperture would be better!!
Cheers!..............John.

Good morning Philip
My thanks for your comments on "Shell Ginger - Alpinia zerumbet", and am pleased you have enjoyed it. Was quite surpised it came out as well as it did, as had to squeeze under the branches of a low and shady tree and push a little through the plant itself (glad the owner didn't see me <grinning>) - was an awkward shot to take. I took note of your comment about the grey, and then realised why it was there - had forgotten to edit the grey cast out before posting the image <slaps forehead with palm of hand> - a few moments in Photoshop or the Gimp will fix that.
Enjoy your day
Romane

Hello Phillip, I only changed the extremities of Gidgit’s hair to blend into the background. She is otherwise Au Natural. The ground she was travelling over was far from a manicured lawn. Thanks for your comments about her. They are much appreciated.

Hi Phillip, thank you for commenting on "The Prize"! You are right about the image being a little sharper! Somehow, yellows and macros give me a bad time. Other colors, I have better luck with. Maybe I will figure out what the problem is someday! Ha, Ha!. Thanks for the tip. Sincerely, Marilyn

Good morning Philip
Thank you for your encouraging comments on "Gum tree", and glad you enjoyed it. Have only recently started becoming 'adverturesome' and trying different framing other than standard black.
Enjoy your day
Romane

Good morning and thanks Philip for the nice comment.

Thank you for visiting my Carnation Ice Cream image. It was a fun project.

Hi Philip, thanks for your comment on 'Beauty in a Harsh Climate' is much appreciated :)

Hello Philip, tks for your comments on Rolling Stones!
Glad you liked it.
JuneBug

Hello Philip. Tks for your help on Gulls! I have a canon powershot A70.
Any tips? I would welcome any tips. I am so uncomfortable switching modes for just a couple shots because it then can affect the rest of my day if I can't remember what I had it set at previously, lol.
JuneBug

Hello Philip, Many thanks for your comments about “Cosy Couple”. They are much appreciated. Having discovered this wonderful world of tiny objects, I might be doomed to spend the rest of my life bent double searching for small bits of colour in moss.

Phillip, Thanks for your comments on "Reach for the Sky!" I'm glad you liked it.

Hello Philip...thanks a lot for commenting Chip or Dale?...very glad you found it to your liking and I appreciate you stopping by.:Pat.

Hi Philip. Glad you like my 'Strawberries wall'. Yum! :-)

Thank you so much for your sweet comment about my Blazing Tulips!! hug

Thanks Philip for taking the time to view and comment on my Callaway Gardens 2 image. I appreciate your remarks and support.
Russ

Phillip;
Thank you for your support of my, Infrared Image of Steam Generated Power Plant. I don't think many people understand Balck & White photography anymore. It is still my favotie.
Fotobob

Phillip;
This was a fun set up. I sometimes feel that I get to formal with my still life's. This type of set-up helps me to have some fun. Nothing else to do because of the heavy snow falling. I am happy that you enjoyed my Carnation Ice Cream image. Thank you for your input.
fotobob

Heya Philip,
Thanks for your short, but sweet comment on *Chocolate and Caramel*...I must admit, I think the colours look nice as well :)
Thanks again, and enjoy your day!

hey Philip.. ty for the wonderful comment on Something Purple - Collaboration.. we're glad you enjoyed it..

~Blue Night~
Hello Philip, yes there were filters applied! The flower itself though was very full of texture!
I wonder if I should apply neat image?
JuneBug

Hello Philip tks for your comments on I'm Walking On Sunshine!
I think my fav is charming, then all wet and this is my star, lol.
JuneBug

Hello Philip, tks so much for your comments. Tks also for your help with my images. I have made some notepad files to save with your suggestions.
Smiles and hugs.

Hello Philip, Many thanks for your comments about “Polygala” and the lighting of it. They are truly appreciated.

Thank you, Phillip -- glad you enjoyed my interpretation of your image and for allowing me to do so. Appreciate your comment on 'Rolling Fields'.

Hi Philip, and thank you for commenting on "An Orange Beauty"! I appreciate your ideas and hope to learn from them! This image is certainly uplifting, so full of color! Please stop by for another visit! I enjoy having you. Sincerely, Marilyn

Thankyou Pom for your comment on "Orange". I was really pleased with that shot and it's good to know others like it as well.

Thanks Philip for you comment on my "over the sea". I will take your suggestion.

Thanks Philip for you comment on my "

About 'Corsican cheese': it just missed a good wine... ;-) Thanks

Hi Philip. Thanks very much for the nice comment left us on "Orchids 10-Collab." ;) Arne & B.J.

Hello Philip. Been visiting your gallery. Ranson is a beauty and you captured those seagulls very well. What I liked most was GATE. For me it had a deeper meaning. It's like a door you can open to freedom, expressed by the green pastures and the blue sky above the hill. I'm a big fan, thanks.

Hello Philip, I enjoyed reading your comments and thoughts about “Swansea”. Thank you.

Hello Philip, tks for your comments on White Trillium! I took it on that angle as suggested by Michael. I am pleased with how it turned out!
JuneBug

Hi Philip.. thanks for your comment on Wild Flowers... Im glad you liked them... they were growing wild and the colour caught my eye... made the driver hit the brakes so i could get a pic.. :D

Philip;
Thank you for stopping by and looking at my Morning Light and Watercress. There was only one thing better than your comment. That was being there and seeing it in person.
fotobob,

hi philip, had a look on your galery ... very good images, but how do you take the beautiful birds pictures? they are far too fast for me :-¦

Philip;
I agree with your comment about my Antelope Canyon #3 being amost an Abstract. I can't even imagine anyone painting colours like these seen here in nature.

Phillip,
Thank you for commenting on Water Falls. I'm glad you like it.

Philip,
Please forgive the late response to your comment about Antelope Canyon #5. I don't know how I get so far behind. I am happy that you have enjoyed the series, The best one (I think) is still to be posted.
fotobob

Thanks for the comment on Sitting. I don't know what you mean by i was doing something in the top left. I changed the color's alittle so they were alittle more realistic since i took it through glass. Maybe that is what you mean? Not sure.

Philip,
Your very kind words are more than nice about my description of my Antelope Canyon #6
To answer your question about the equipment that I use. I usually carry three Hasselblad's (medium format 6X6) with me. One is set up for close-up work only. I also carry Wista 4x5 Field camera. 24 film holders (48 sheets of film), four lenses and all of the rest of the gear that make up large format photo work. I have never been a believer in 35mm film so I carry two Nikon FE2's that I let people use for their work. I now have a Fuji Finepix S2 that I have been using but I would prefer a medium format digital back or my Hasselblad's. They are still a bit to expensive for me. Maybe in another year or so. I hope this answers your question. If not just drop me a PM or an E-Mail anytime.
fotobob.

Glad you took a look at 'Rainforest 2', Philip. The light was wonderful with the fog. Thanks for the feedback :-)

Philip;
I would like to thank you so very much for all of the kind words that you left for me, and others, to read about my Antelope Canyon series. I am truly humbled by the way you followed the series to the end. I have often made the decision, to leave Caedes but the enthusiasm that you ( and others) show for my images has kept me here. This is my fourth or fifth series that I have posted. Although the responses have always been good, NONE has received the wonderful responses that Antelope Canyon has.This series had brought back many memories of Annie and my trek through this magical place. When I posted my last image and shut down the series, which was difficult to do, I felt that I had said goodbye to an old friend. With deep humility, and bowed head, Thank you so very much for your support.

Thank you very much Philip for your encouraging review of Sea Shells...I am very pleased that you liked it.:Pat.

Hey Philip, thanks for the comment on Bouyancy Rules. It was taken at dusk, a little to dusk for handheld shooting. It got a bit of motion blur and I tried to clean it up with contrast. Good eyes you have;-)

Hello Philip, tks for your comments on Spring Blossom
