Also, I had a lot of time in an airplane on my way to South Africa to read it...<br /><br />Of course, not long after I wrote this entry, I got a new job that takes so much of my time, I rarely take any photos any more (or write on my blog, obviously). So much for my year of photography! I will get back into though when/if work calms down a bit. Thanks to all my readers for reading and commenting!Samanthahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17470299166892375356noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4231335054844514225.post-71174651937504400022009-11-13T21:49:24.454-08:002009-11-13T21:49:24.454-08:00Your photos are great!

How is the reasearch going? Any closer to the breakthrough, or is it more like running uphill?pinnochiohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14089855731738963494noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4231335054844514225.post-87562752432291027992009-04-04T14:29:00.000-07:002009-04-04T14:29:00.000-07:00Thanks for the comments G and K! Kim: I'm deli...Thanks for the comments G and K! <BR/><BR/>Kim: I'm delighted you like my photos well enough to want them on your desktop! This was my first post where I used smaller versions of my photos--in part because of storage (file size) issues, and in part because I was getting nervous about people I don't know "stealing" my photos (not that I have any evidence it has happened). My smugmug site still does have my full-size images, but I may change that at some point. Another issue with a few photos in this post is how I moved them around--I normally go into the Blogger html editor to move photos to a specific location in the text but didn't for a few of them this time and it seems the original-sized images are not linked. Will go back to moving them in html--live and learn! <BR/><BR/>Anyway, here's the full-size, uncropped version of the unusual plant... <BR/>http://ssorchard.smugmug.com/gallery/1900536_p3EuT#95866148_F9eDT<BR/>...not actually black-and white though it looks like it here! In the same gallery in smugmug, I do have a b&w photo of the same plant from a different angle. I've been learning about the "rule of thirds" and that is why I cropped the photo for posting on my blog and I do think the cropped version is better--you can crop it (or not) in iPhoto or whatever the way you like it.<BR/><BR/>As for the other photo, it is from the first time I tried shooting in RAW. It isn't on smugmug, and I haven't got a good enough feel for Aperture to figure out how to made the RAW image file look good like the version shown here... my camera can only save a small .jpg when I'm shooting in RAW and the .jpg looks much better and is what I posted. It's just small, as you noticed. So, I'm going to work on the RAW image at some point and I'll either put it on smugmug and let you know, or send it to you. Or I can send you the RAW file if you'd like to play around with it :-)Samanthahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17470299166892375356noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4231335054844514225.post-13016370945465389002009-04-03T17:03:00.000-07:002009-04-03T17:03:00.000-07:00Great pictures!

Where on your smugmug site are the "unusual plant" black and white photo and the grass from Lake Murry photo? Love them! Makes me want to go outside and take more pictures (it's raining and dark right now, so it won't work)Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09574251706019489226noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4231335054844514225.post-35081115910888470742009-03-30T22:01:00.000-07:002009-03-30T22:01:00.000-07:00Nice post Foof.
