I had a wonderful time meeting new people and getting reacquainted with those I already knew. During that time, I did manage to get a few shots in along with trying out a lens that Godfrey graciously let me test (A 70-210/4). I received no black mail money so didn't feel like I needed to hold back people images. http://www.daytonphoto.com/Galleries/NorCalSJ/index.htm Comments welcome. -- Best regards, Bruce ========= Some nice shots, Bruce. The ones I like or really like are the third and fourth cactus, the close-up of the roof line, the close-up of the duck (at this point I'd try to tone down the light on the rock and bring up a little more detail in the shadows in Elements 3, hehehehe, if it was my shot and now that I know how to do that a bit), and the close-up of John (Celio). I guess I like close-ups. The one of John is very, very nice. I see you shot some ducks after all. ;-) Well, I ended up doing it too, but not as well. They just look like ducks in my shots -- as in, "Yup, it's a duck." Your close-up of the duck has a nice (insert word I cannot spell that is used in decorating and art and starts with a c -- often applied to appliqued word cutouts attached to furniture) effect, between the light and shadow and reflection. Marnie aka Doe Sheesh, I hate it when I know what word I want to use but can't figure out how to spell it.
