More Photo Fun

Close up of fan palm

Close up of a Fan Palm. Ahh the details in Nature.

Leaves in the trees as depicted using the Photo editor

The Photo Editor allows me to play around with this other wise fuzzy photo.

Ahh the simplicity of untouched Flowers

And sometimes They are just fine without any touch up at all.

All in all shooting pictures of flowers is just fun. I believe that I probably have more photo's of Flowers on my hard disk than anything. One of these days I should clean out the batch. I know for sure that there are all kinds of useless fuzzy photos that are doing nothing more than using up space.

Pretty cool photos.  I've been working in my garden all summer - I need to get out there with my camera and snap some of the those beautiful blooms!

Hope,

Blooms are fleeting moments in time.

Betina,

They are very addictive, the Photo's that is.

Carol,

I am glad you enjoyed. I could not get the bugs to cooperate. Would have been an intersting close-up.

Bill,

We are visual creatures.

Thank you all for stopping by.

Herb, maybe we should get together and rent a studio to display all of our flower pics. Good job.

There is an inherent problem with Most Art. Almost everyone enjoys it. Yet very few people are willing to pay for that privilege.

Hmmm Herb, I just discovered that if one disables the reblogging feature on their own blog it prohibits one from reblogging the posts of others. Share and share alike, I guess.

Herb, I'm right there with you.  My logical brain tells me to just delete the fuzzy ones, but for some reason I hang on to them.  Beautiful shots of those flowers.  Thanks for sharing.

Jennifer,

Thanks for stopping by. How is your daughter doing?

Bob,

Once a packrat always a packrat.Huh?

Lisa,

The photo was taken from my Cannon 630 at max digitial exposure as that grouping of limbs was about 30 feet from where I was standing.
I took the shot free hand in a subtle breeze. That shot was the clearest of the ten I took.

I knew what I wanted just did not have the equipment to make it better. The photo editing though allowed me to create that water color effect.

Herb, In stead of deleting them move them over to www.flickr.com or a similar site for free or a small fee.

James,

In todays world of imitations it becomes hard at times to recognize reality. Perhaps that mike make an interesting study.
