Re: Fairmount photo walk

[Alan C]

Rick. I'll rather leave any comments to your fellow students. IMHO the 
images are all of a very high standard. We don't see anything like that 
in our little "dorpie".

Re: OT Geso:Aurora Arboretum

[Alan C]

Obviously a good time of the year for you and the bunch. I really enjoy 
your galleries. Public places like that are fast becoming a thing of the 
past out here. The new generation in charge have no appreciation for 
that sort of thing in public places - to them it is just a pointless 
chore. Grass cutting has become a once-a-year bush clearing exercise 
with front end loaders.

Re: GESO: Winterthur

[ann sanfedele]

wow - lovely tour ! One of those places I've not been to even though it 
is really quite close.. must do it - although I may need someone to

shove me around in a wheel chair - at least part of the time.
The second photo of the flowering shrubs was especially spectacular... 
but the last few frames were my favorite.. the side of the staircase,

the wide view of the mansion with the azalas in foreground,etc..

Re: Fairmount photo walk

I like the two flower closeups and the third building shot the most...  
560 20th st  - way more interesting than the other two and better 
geometry as well for my taste.

Fascinating! To me the first picture, while technically the best, has also

Re: mini-GESO: Butterfly Release

[Daniel J. Matyola]

Thanks, Alan and Henk!

The first is my favorite, by far.  The second is simply a closer crop of
the first, to better show the patterns and colors of the insect.  The third
was just for fun;  it took off just as I pressed the shutter button.  Not a
pleasing image. but it conveys the event in a unique manner.

Re: mini-GESO: Butterfly Release

[Daniel J. Matyola]

I took the cage outside to release the five that were ready.  I wasn't
planning to shoot them on my hand, and indeed the first images I took were
of butterflies in the cage, on the top of the cage, and opn the wooden
decking on which the cage was resting.  When I glanced up and saw the blue
sky and puffy clouds, I decided to try for an image against the background
of the sky.

I was running out of time, so I switched the butterfly I was in the process
of releasing from my right hand to my left, so I could raise it up against
theat lovely sky.  I didn't expect to get much, as I had to hold the camera
and shoot it with one hand, and I am no longer very steady shooting that
way, and also because the butterfly would be against a much brighter
background. I hoped for the best and made a couple of snaps, one of which
came out better than I had expected, and another of which was all motion
blur (image #3).

I have a number of other images against different backgrounds and
illustrating the cage, the empty chrysalises, and the mess the butterflies
leave behind when they make their exits, but I thought the sky image was
more interesting, more unusual, and more pleasing to the eye.

All in all, it was a fairly successful evening.
