Oh no Sally back it up a bit...no sneezing on screen :~)
Hey Jack, besides the lighting effect on the wings I'm a bit partial to his antennae. Must bring back memories of the show I watch as a kid 'My Favorite Martian'...do you remember that one or are you too young?
Thanks and double thanks Debra, what an honor to be featured in your cool group!
Hi Kathy, we must me thinking alike. I love the yellow on yellow tones also! The creatures seem drawn to me, what can I say?
Fantabulous photograph, Cynthia! And the bee is gorgeous too! Look at all I've been missing!
Hi Cynthia, very pretty indeed. The butterfly mirrors the colors of the flower!
Hi Deb, thanks and I love seeing you back on my blog!
Hi Silvia, that old song kept going through my head when I saw how this photo came out. It was the yellows that made me take this photo :)
Cyn- that was perfect, just completely perfect. today was long and I'm tired and how cool was it that you had a bee too after my comment. I just love you. Thanks.
Cyndee,
That is incredible to get a shot that is almost all yellow with so much activity as you have. Simply beautiful. :)
Steve
My dear Tammy, I bet your days have been long and heart heavy so it was my way of giving you a {{{hug}}} to help you through your week. I love ya too Tammy, it was no trouble at all my friend!
Hi Steve, well a big thank you to you. All I had to do was hang out on my beautiful deck and take in the nature show. The yellow flowers and these small yellow moths kept giving me chance after chance to snap away!
Cynthia, I wish I could say I was too young to remember "My Favorite Martian", but no such luck.
I got ya Jack, we are in the same boat. It was such a funny show for a kid and I loved how his antennae raised up and he could disappear. I think that could come in handy here and there ;)
LOL John, the title popped in my head as soon as I posted the photo! Thanks.
Now that is a great shot of a butterfly and a bee. I can tell you probably know what you are doing behind the lens.
Trey, I gonna let you in on a secret....I just get lucky behind the lens at times. I need to read the manual & maybe take a class too :)
Cynthia, you do like your butterflies or in this case moths...and you take such great shots of them. Not that you need it...but as you say reading the manual is always a good thing. If you haven't taken classes...they really are helpful and you do learn a lot, they are a great source of technical information, but as I said...your photos are beautiful.
I've taken lots of photography classes for film cameras and developed much of my own B&W prints...I think it's becoming a lost art. There's something very connected about taking the photo, and working in the darkroom to produce something very unique...special...just look at Ansel Adams work.
Okay, I'll stop...too much coffee today.
Hi Nick, in fact that is on my list this week to read that darn manual. I would love to take a class as my husband has encouraged me to do just that. I like knowing all about the tech part of why and reasoning behind it. That way I'm not so disappointed when I think I have a great shot and then have it turn out rather crappy. This one shot above of the moth was not cropped or color adjusted, I had a good subject & cooperative lighting that day!
I think that would be the ultimate to do what you do in your darkroom, it is an great art form. By the way I love B&W photos, I have few in my own home. I think they add something very special to the room.
Yikes is that what coffee does to one's system... if I only liked the taste then I could get all my stuff done!!!
Awesome picture - and I like what you did with that mirror in your recent post!
Morning Georgina, thanks on both accounts! You're great photo's will help me make it through the winter here in Ohio!
Morning Josh, thank you, I had fun that afternoon.
