I wish I had her skills, but I'm hopeless with flowers, both as for growing them as well for arranging them. Those sceneries you and your wife have had the fortune to see are stunning, and the shots with sea and mountain are so full of serenity. Jim, those are amazing pictures! Both of them. I particularly love picture no 2 of the place where you go dancing. What an amazing place to dance. I guess I'd go there every night, if I had such a great place to go to. And the perfect blue colour. A lot of atmosphere and "feel" in that shot!. One is kind of drawn right into the picture. I suppose I should say a lot of "hygge" too because it looks really "hyggeligt". Absolutely great and uplifting to see peoples photos. So keep posting, please. Susanne

I like that the old Jam and Candy factories, as well as old brick Distillery buildings, rather than having been demolished after sitting empty for decades, have been kept and turned into unique, welcoming spaces for people to relax, wander, partake of a meal, coffee or specially brewed sake or beer .. or for viewing a play at the Theatre for the Arts : ) I've seen such development in Adelaide, here in Toronto, and other cities. Finally, the concept of demolishing and building anew, is often replaced by "restore and keep the ambience of a city's history". Of course, cost comes into play .. but, I for one, like this concept.

What post-processing did you apply to get that saturated green effect? I thought I'd post a few photos by my son Daniel, because he does know his way round a camera (unlike me). I haven't got permission yet, so please don't pinch them! Sizes will vary, unfortunately. In fact his specialty is portraits, but they mostly feature family and friends, so I can't post them on a public board. Also his photos put ten years on me, finding "characterful" wrinkles I'm sure I haven't got Acer leaves [Tokyo 2010] The Human Tide [Tokyo 2010] Lonely Beach [Kingscliff 2009] It'll never get off the ground [Caloundra Aerospace Museum 2011] Straddie Sunset [Stradbroke Island 2008] Going Up [Sydney 2011] Wheel [Brisbane 2011]

He's got the typical Aussie traveler soul ingrained in him, and his creative genius seems to know no bounds. You and your wife have a lot to be proud of. Just looking at that photo of Tokyo, makes me feel claustrophobic. Fantastic shot, as are the rest. The details are so crisp.

I'd love to see the Sydney opera house one day. Great shot of that, and nice to see the tiles (are they called that?) close up. I hope that you, with your sons permission, can post more of his works.

The geranium shot is actually not post-processed at all except for a bit of cropping. I used a macro lens (105 mm) and got down in the weeds. The late sunlight was just right to produce the general blur of green. The geraniums are a border about two feet wide along the western side of our front walk. So I was shooting almost into the sun with geranium leaves behind the three I was focusing on. I've always done natural light but I am busy learning how to actually use flash. Stay tuned...

Posts: 2178 05/11/12 5:30 PM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	Thanks everyone-a real joy looking at everyone pictures- right across. Love we all have such unique ways to see things around us... What happened to my post about Alan ++++++ pictures posted- one of those times. I thought I clicked post but did not.. Thanks for the little incentives to pick my own camera back up- better run a competition for best shot of the month or something... since we seem to have a few avid photographers around here. Plus you all must be getting out more these days- Spring/summer This is the "hanging in a gallery" Lillian....Until can take shots I want- as I have totally forgotten everything I had even learned before going to Uni even- darkroom looking back into this and I am at a loss. Like when I did maths- I have certificates to prove- top marks. Forgotten it all. If you do not keep at it or get lazy and keep things on ummm auto pilot not learning.. So you are right Lillian- must get back into it a little more- i f ever going to do anything constructive with it....fun for the moment and one needs lots of fun times- to help with the harder moments in life....

I actually got mentally torture by my wife to get a web site. Please be critical and kind if you have a look. Utah was just an amazing place. I was lucky to get some top stuff. Great to see the old crowd and some new dudes. mickwatsonphotography.com Mick

Posts: 9742 05/27/12 6:58 AM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	Your wife gets a great deal of credit for pushing you to get up your own website, Mick. It's wonderful, and easy to navigate. Your photography has crossed the line from very very good, to exceptional. Having perused all categories, my personal favourites are "Street Photography", "Re-enactment", and "English Defence League" of which I'm now more aware of the background of the movement and other groups allied and against them. I was particularly affected by the shots of street people in Paris. The re-enactment photos invoke a real 'authenticity'. Because I prefer images portraying people, doesn't mean I don't appreciate the other categories. The wildlife photos had me mesmerized, like the wild cats sniffing out prey. I am in awe of the size of the grizzly, and wondered what it was getting ready to charge at. The Cathedral shots are beautiful, and it came to me that perhaps the photos of Liverpool Cathedral were taken when you met with Tony Jefferies. You must be so often filled with wonder and awe, when surrounded by the incredible beauty of nature .. Utah, Northumbria, The Causeway at Holy Island. Good to see what you've been up to, and thank you for sharing your awesome site. Lillian Last Edited By: Lillian 05/27/12 9:05 PM. Edited 1 times.
