They look absolutely wonderful to me.<br /> I read with interest your account of the trials and tribulations of getting that magical once in a lifetime photograph - the one that captures the essential spirit of the subject, the one that says more than words, the one that takes one's breath away......well, I always believe the fun is in the journey, not the destination!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7116278351699614429.post-4132928523507704772010-11-18T05:30:02.921-08:002010-11-18T05:30:02.921-08:00Jennifer, It's funny but I love so many of the...Jennifer, It's funny but I love so many of the photos you deem out of focus! Focus to me is one of the most frustrating aspects of photography but also incredibly rewarding when things don't turn out as you want. Often the picture becomes a work of art in the way they distort reality. This summer my flash went off when I didn't want it to resulting in one of my most interesting photos to date. I love such happy accidents.Margueritehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14377516887669269657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7116278351699614429.post-56320253813405285222010-11-17T18:30:42.670-08:002010-11-17T18:30:42.670-08:00ALL these are gorgeous!

I chuckled reading about you taking a photograph whilst in the parking lot. I too find myself taking photos in the oddest places and getting stared at. Oh well, it is worth it for a great shot!Karin / Southern Meadowshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06514989784715204223noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7116278351699614429.post-46806033772097711972010-11-17T15:46:35.682-08:002010-11-17T15:46:35.682-08:00Oh, how I long for a BIG DEAL digital camera.

It is frustrating - I love to get up close and my camera has pretty limited abilities. Also, yes - orange (and red) is extremely difficult to capture! I enjoyed this post a great deal. If I do get that fancy camera, it'll be a whole new learning experience. I love to view your photos. You shouldn't feel humble! And enjoyed the "abstract beer."

The colour of the fish underwater balance the bubbles in the opposite corner. The colour is great too.

By the time I stopped the car, grabbed battery/dead camera, fished in back for the other camera, a stunning missed moment!joeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09569378877717221045noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7116278351699614429.post-36868015037259837082010-11-17T07:09:01.657-08:002010-11-17T07:09:01.657-08:00I think what has really attracted me to your blog ...I think what has really attracted me to your blog (besides the really cool history of your home and the stories surrounding when you purchased it and the fact that you're practically a neighbour) is your photography! Although I am a very visual person, I have NEVER been interested in photography. When I decided to start a blog I had to go out and purchase a camera but didn't have a clue what I was getting. I now know that I didn't choose very well but it's going to have to do for now. I have always LOVED gardening books, magazines & blogs because of the beautiful photography! Visits here NEVER disappointment my desire to look at beauty!Lisa ~Suburban Retreat~https://www.blogger.com/profile/10119349730386156556noreply@blogger.com
