That's very good. Good model, great lighting, nice colours. And I like the edgy nature of it with the use of a chainsaw as a prop. Well done.

You're too kind, but Thank you

Your getting good, but not as good as me, at the female psychology thing. Pretending that the kitchen is the territory/possesion of Steph allows you to deliver an act of kindness, painting it for her, no doubt at great inconvenience to your good self. Having done so you feel justification in awarding yourself a reward to compensate for the loss of personal time. By doing so you not only make her feel grateful for painting services rendered, but also make her feel bad about having to allow you self-awarded brownie points.

I'd strike while the iron is hot, if I were you - go out and buy a new camera.

You missed a bit of the ceiling.

Bought the new camera last month in anticipation.

Today's picture is the marquee on the front of our Micro Biology building. It is DNA coding. Supposedly there is a message but I've never figured it out and anyone who has won't tell. Tomorrow I'll photograph a similar marquee which is on the back of the building. It also has a message but almost anyone can figure it out.

Gorgeous, you can reach out and touch this one. You may consider cloning out that tendril thingy in the bottom left...but then you might not. Superb capture as usual.

Thankyou my dear boy. I was particularly pleased as I had two distinct disadvantages when I took this at such a late-evening time of day. One was the sinking sun about to bring out the local vampires. Two was the nagging DB/Head Gardener holding the black screen backdrop. Those two factors may not be unrelated...

Gosh! That is very impressive. I take my hat off to you. Sir. Can you wangle a 5DMkII for me as well?

I worked on Le Flower's sister, La Fleur. I used less light than before - trying to tame the highlights and shadows - and, tomorrow, I will use more light. Just fiddling around. I learned how to use the mirror lock, too. Can you tell that I really need a macro lens? Rob says that he's the master of wifely psychology. Does anyone have any advice about how to get a husband to give in to a new lens??? It's reeeeeeeeally important guys - I'd be so appreciative.....

Well, I can think of one thing that usually works ...

These two are better, although I prefer the second by far

YELLOW FLOWER

I passed this yellow flower along the road for several days before stopping to shoot it. It is alwys at its best in the late afternoon light...

I only had my 300mm lens with me which accounts for the shallow DOF...

Canon 50D, EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS II USM @ 125mm, f/4, 1/125, ISO 800. Full EXIF, PAD slideshow.

Our Goldie, who's 11 months old now. She's a happy girl, but it's hard to get photos of her, because she's so exuberant. However, if I go outside when she's already out, she comes running. So I took advantage of that.

C&C are always welcome.

Cheers,
Rick

Beautiful and non-functional.
Kinda like my ex ...

Nice shot Rick, she does look a healthy happy girl.

[carregwen]

Good shot! She is a beauty. Send her over will you?

We took a drive upto the forest today and found tons of mushrooms. Since we live in the desert we don't see see any around here.
