Great shot my friend! I just saw another capture on your gallery that should be posted here...what a beauty! See if you can figure which one! ;-) Love your stuff!

Here is a shot of a Geranium from my flower bed. I love the blossoms of these little beauties. Shot with the K-5 with the 100mm WR + 1.7TC= 180mm

Sorry to be late getting back to you and everybody else...I am not always full of p*ss and vinegar! Pardon the crudity coming from a guy with kidney problems!! LOL!

I love your Thistle shot...they are a branch of plants too underated and deserve this kind of shooting care and composition!Nice stuff friend!

Cheers

You are one of Kentucky's biggest boosters with your superb shooting over the years of those smoky mountains,the lovely waterfalls, the rivers and of the course the beautiful flowers that bless your state. I have admired your work for many years now and it's time I said so.

Good on you my friend! I apologize for not getting back to you sooner!

Best regards
Leo

Please forgive my tardiness in commenting on your fine multiple series of orchids...they are my favourite flowers and you have done them great justice with your excellent photography. Please post more!

All the very best and thanks for your help on this thread

I'll take a weed like that in my garden anytime Stephen...what a beautiful shot and you nailed the white spot on with no hint of blown highlight! Sweet!

Cheers mate

Ah Knights in White Satin or is it Nights? ;-) I miss the Moody Blues, I shall have to dig them out of my buried selections. I had the pleasure of seeing them in concert in Toronto in 1979 or 1980, I forget which!

Your white Iris and your other Iris shots too are superbly done my friend and I am really appreciative of your art and your loyalty to this thread...thanks for your posts and fine comments too.

Peace to you and Cindy

Leo the old codger :-)

You must live in one of the most beautiful of cities. I am always thrilled with the beautiful flowers you put up and this Orchid is no exception. I would love it if you would post some shots of your city in another thread so we can see where all this beauty comes from! Some pics of you and your family too my friend!! :-)

Warm regards
Leo

The 01 does indeed handle reds really well. Many people find it hard to not blow the red channel, but we can see here how wonderfully the new K01 did for this Hibicus shot.

BTW your Orchid shot is hardly gratuitous...it is well shot and a worthy posting. Thanks for all your fine pictures mate.

Best regards
Leo

How good to hear from you! I love the lighting you chose for both these shots...I can tell you did some thinking for these to captures...the rest of the settings are spot on too. Nice art my friend.

Thanks for you kind wishes. I am not feeling too bad, even though my right kidney is severely swollen and blocked... soon in June I have a feeling my Urologist will finally pull the plug out and get to these blighters I carry around with me. It is my hope that I will get some of my energy level back again after they are gone and I can get off my tuchas and get rid of some of this extra weight I have been packing on just lying around...and also get out and about! there may be hope for some shooting together yet mate! ;-)

Warmest regards
Leo

Hi Leo,

More two CATTLEYAS from that exposition, and I'm sad, because the good ones are almost finished :( . Hope you like them.

Best regards,

GUS.
