Thank You!

My standard answer is that I attempt to reproduce as close as the camera, software and screen will allow me to what I saw with my eyes. Of course that means processing because the digital camera I use is a bit weak in the blue range and perhaps a bit oversensitive in the cyan and red. Sure, contrast is enhanced as well...Monsoon sky means lots of moisture in atmosphere,, which translates into " murky" pics. I'm still learning the rite combination of settings to conditions to get what i want.,,example..for better blues,,set camera on " folage",,but then distant sharpness becomes weak...etc,

The Canon processing software is excellent and comes with the camera.

Hello and howdy Avatar..yes, i'm in a stasis over whether to thro the keyboard in the dish washer or not. Two schools of thought on the subject,,both claiming positive results. The mendacity I have yet to determine..more pics to come when I get off work

So I really got into the Monsoon Weather this season..

tinypic.com/view.php?pic=35m0b35&s=2

and contemplated what I had seen and where I had went..

did she come to me, her voice announcing herself in the wind. I cowarded behind the tripod and felt like a thief as i remembered to depress the shutter button.Only after freeing myself ,,did my muse,, my angel, allow me to see her....
