Friday's Fotos...

Yesterday, ActiveRain member Richard Weisser wrote a post about the beauty of everyday nature. His eloquent words prompted me to go through some of my old photos. Photos that capture what often goes by unnoticed. Scenes that we far to often do not see or take for granted...

My friend... you are in the wrong business. That is a professional image if I've ever seen one. What was your lighting setup? Amazing.

Jesse, Thanks for the words of encouragement. I used natural lighting and manual settings on my DSLR. This was done with a 101mm macro f~2.8 @ 30 shutter speed... I bracketed using different speeds and this one came out the best. Hope this helps.

Thanks for sharing your photographs. Watch for black cats today. Have a great day and a special weekend.

Michael,

There are so many talented people here in AR and I agree with Jesse, I think that you are in the wrong business. Have you taken photography classes or do you recommend doing something like that.

I don't know if you can see me or not, but I just did the "I'm not worthy" arm motions to you :-) You my friend are an incredible photographer!

Michael, that's a really nice shot. I've got to get my hands on a macro again.

Roy, Thanks. You have a great weekend too...

Don, I am slowly migrating out of the inspection business and will be pursuing my passion. The photo/video business will be a dba of the inspection business. I will have other folks do the inspections.

Kris, Thank you so much for the kind words...

Kevin, macro photography really opens up a whole new world...

Hi Michael:

What a fantastic photo!

It almost doesn't look real....

I need to get a better digital camera!!!

Michael,

Dang it looks like the CG movies my kids watch! very beautiful!

Michael-
Truly agree, you should have a show of your photos. Unbelievably fantastic!

Are you sure you didn't take that pic in the land of Oz?

Awesome photo!! Got any more to share?

Michael...

This is a gorgeous shot ... so well composed and lit! I love these photos of everyday stuff, they are so interesting. Thanks for the mention, I really appreciate it!

Wow! Thanks for sharing the awesome picture. It reminds me that too much is taken for granted in life.

Have a Great Day!

Michael, wow, left me a bit speechless!

WOW what a cool photo

Michael, fantastic photo. The lighting and composition is great. Thanks.

Very nice photo Michael. Have a great weekend.

Michael, that is again a very stunning photo. Maybe some of our other AR members are right. You really did miss your true calling.

I havent seen a more pretty pix than this is sooo long. THanks so much for sharing it. You made my morning!

Michael - This photo is stunning. Absolutely stunning! The color is fantastic, compostion and subject - all fantastic! What post processing did you do?

Debi

OK, which issue of National Geographic did you get that photo from?!!!

That's an amazing photo Michael and definitely National Geographic worthy.

Michael - That is a very unusual and stunning photo. What kind of camera are you using?

MICHAEL..How enchanting..Looks like it belongs in a storybook

Michael we tune in everyday just to see your beautiful photographs. Ceil laughed when she was reading all your photography lingo above. She says that is why we have an Easyshare shoot and go camera.

That is one fantastic picture, Michael. It looks like something out of a Disney animation production! Absolutely beautiful.

Wow, Michael, this is so spectacular, it looks like a computer generated movie still shot! WOW! SO NEAT! Great eye, and great use of shutter speed to get this unique look! WOWWOWWOW!

Michael - That's pretty unusual. The light has to be perfect, and those thinks have to cooperate. I don't think I have the patients for it.

Michael, I am so glad I dropped acid by...that is the most awesome of pictures-jsimply beautiful!!!

I had to come back to look at this photo again, Michael. Simply incredible.

Michael, Like Jesse, I think you're in the wrong business! My sellers wish I had your photography skills! And, this one is one that has never been seen--definitely NOT taken for granted!

Have a wonderful weekend...

Debe, Thanks for the comment and double take. I strive to be a purist in my photography, but I will admit that I did 'enhance' the green a smidge using PhotoShop. Had I been using slide film, I would have used a filter...

Michael,

I wss just out today, visiting BC, and a fellow was out cutting some great mushrooms. He said they were edible.

Michael, that is a beautiful photo, and yes, definitely worthy of Natl Geographic. The lighting brings out all those little details in the buds opening up. Thanks for sharing and have a great day.

Michael this is a lovely photo of things we often overlooked. It was just last night I was signed on to Flickr and was enjoying photographs of all types of fungi.
