Thank you for the comment on my image. I've found that focus instills the sense of mood.. a soft focus can sometimes show feeling & emotions that harsh focus can not. I am sorry that the image appeared "totally out of focus" to you. Fortunately yo...
hi Rip, Welcome to MSS. I'm sure you'll find inspiration through the many fine artists and their art works here on this site. Also, I wanted to wish you continued Good Shooting!!

My father gave me my 1st camera, a Brownie Starflash* camera when I was about 8 years old and have been hooked on the art of photography ever since.

No Ed thank you so very much for putting heart and soul into your photos.
We may not be here for a hundred years, but our photos will continue to speak for us. And one day that might be all there is left of certain precious aspects of our world. Thank you and to all those who record the beautiful, wonderful, thoughful, and fleeting moments we may all miss one day. Ann
Hi Ed. Thanks for dropping me a note and having a look at my photos. I realy enjoy the new camera. Still learning and trying. Just do not have enough time to take photos. So, I decided that I will join a photography club this year and also do some courses through them. That way I'm forced to take more photos because of outings with the club and assignments. Any way, hope you are doing well and I'm glad you sound in good spirit.
Happy shooting
Jurie
Hi Ed, thanks for joining our equine group. I always loved this phrase "There is nothing better for the inside of a man than the outside of a horse." Here's hoping your life allows you the time soon to test this!!
Hi Ed, Thank you for your very kind wishes, i also wish you a very happy and peaceful 2009.
My passion is for wildlife but in particular birds, i love to watch them and study their beahaviour but most of all photograph them.
I look forward very much to seeing more shots from you in the days to come.
