Your Rudbeckias!26 Feb '06 3:14 am
Quill, I'm simply in love with your happy, lovable, golden Rudbeckias! Oh! How I miss mine...And those colourful splendid birds! They remind me of the paradisiac birds of Richard Attemborough's BBC known series on Natural Life on Earth (: "R. Att. in Paradise")...
And on the artistic level : do you sometimes use special camera filters ( blue, in particular), in order to enhance the natural colours of your models, or it is simply the day-light effect, like we already discussed? My daughter had once talked to me about the existence of such filters.
I personally use a digital camera, which recreates in the best way the real, natural colours , according to the existing day-light , of course.

Ah! Again your Rudbeckias!!26 Feb '06 9:59 pm
I'm simply in love with your new photos+colour experience! This adorable bird likes our garden ,too, especially the birds' restaurant hanging from a big tree (no photo for the moment...). And , I think, this close up of your golden Rudbeckias is the best I've seen so far with this beloved flower as a model!
And - again - on the artistic level : when you say ,"software helps", you mean you use accordingly your computer , in order to enhance the colours at their best? Wow! Both of my older children have studied on this subject , and I'm a little jealous... Being a flowers' self taught painter since I was little, I would like to use properly the software as well, in order to cooperate with Nature on the artistic level like you do..It is a really creative , mostly inspirational fun!

I've took a look around the site and I'm startin to wonder what a machismo idiot like myself is doin here... Then I came to my sense's and realized deep down I'm a Gardner... Brother Gardner is what the Mormon Lady that owns the field behind me calls me... 
I apologize for the crude subject manner one might find at my page at Photo.net... I assure you I respect and utilize nature to it's full potential... Sorry..

Love your photos! I have Jasc, but I prefer to use Adobe Photoshop. I've never quite mastered Jasc... I should work on that, but the Photoshop is just easier. LOL.
I visited your site, but didn't have time to read it all this morning. I'll have to return and do my reading. Right now I have to get ready for work or I'll be late.

Garden blooms...4 Mar '06 7:08 am
Hello, again, dear Quill!
Fully in love with your pictures , plants, and artistic technique, I decided I want to learn working like you with our garden's flowering beauties. Being immensely lucky to have my daughter with me these days, she promised she' ll show me how to enhance the already magical flower colours in my pictures . BUT : I want first to SEE how it would probably one of MY photos change from its natural state into the enhanced one.
Proposition : can you transform in YOUR way any or all of these photos I'm sending you right now? Because I consider them as very objectively and beautifully representing Mom Nature's colours. Can you work your magic
with these photos, Quill??

Yes, but...4 Mar '06 11:30 am
...isn't it also magical to ...know how to "travel", and move, and create into the magical world of colours and especially the vibrant flower colours? You know, like in your colourful dreams, dream-flower colours... Co-creating playfully with Mom Nature... I would so much love to learn this technique!...In this way I was painting with real, traditional colours in my younger years.. Again with flowers...
