Thanks Darlene - trying to hold up my end of the deal - branching out by trying something different - but not all the time. Really want to try my hand at landscapes next as I have always enjoyed nature. Flowers are just easier to come by - 'cause when necessary (like when it is hot) I can buy those. Jan

Great image Janice, and so very sweet! Wonderful shades of green and browns in the tree, really neat shot!

I would love to attend the show. My home e-mail is Janorsam@cox.net. Keep me posted. Our son, Sam is a usefilm donor and he also lives in this area. I am sure that he would love to attend also as he too is new to photography. Jan

Yes I am chairman of the digital competition in our club in SCW. Will have over 100 entries to take care of and get judged then make a program out of the results. We have a big theatre with new digital projection system. Set it all to music and the whole ball of wax. Will have to invite you up for the show. Don.

Thanks Don - got an e-mail from Don P. and we may try and plan a photo shoot to somewhere after you get back in town, of course. Boy, you are a busy person and involved in a lot of things related to photography. Jan

Thanks Ellen - they are fast growing and very light and airy looking bushes. On the meteor shower: at the photo class last night, the instructor suggested reading in your manual about and then using the bulb setting, VERY dark area with no city lights glowing - f stop - large, try 800 ISO and for something like fireworks would need a slow shutter speed (125-160?). Is there a photoshop you can call and ask? He showed a shot he took of the north star and had his bulb setting on for 6 hours - not sure how that works, but the shot was really neat - you could see the rotation of the earth. His secret was try different settings and practice. PS - according to the papers (8/12/05) northeast sky between 2 am-5am tonight and tomorrow. Keep me posted. Jan

No joy no stars. I didn't have the settings right.

Thanks Don - it does seem better without a really busy angular looking background. Jan

Thanks Lisa - our City Hall Complex has matured into a very lovely area to walk around in. We are building another new building just west of the new police and fire administration building in the next 3-5 years. Between these two buildings and the main complex the open area is going to be expanded even further and we will have another small neighborhood park-type area to add to what we already have. Jan

I like this because the background almost looks dream-like. It gives it a dramatic feel. With the angle of the tree behind the statue, it doesn't seem so tilted!

Janice,
I really like this one. The statue of the couple seems completely different from this angle. The tree in the background above them gives the impression that they are seeking a spot in the shade on a hot summer day. Looks like a beautiful place to visit.

This is very delightful, Janice. The dark of the tree is a nice contrast to the gentle greens and gray of the statues. I liked the firt one, but I think I like this one better. The tenderness is more obvious. Mary
