Working on having more photos to display/ready for sale.
So these three are moving from very close, to far away.
Back in March, when the butterfly emerged from her chrysalis I took a lot of photos. This one is iffy. I like the effect, but it's one of those pictures I think falls into the, "photos for photographers" category.

This one, is more in the vein of "easy to get". It stands alone on it's own. No need to really look into it to understand what's going on. I like that it's got all three phases of the blossom cycle (bud, bloom and leaf) for stone fruit. It's one of those photos (unlike the one above) which looks better, in some ways, on paper because the blown out whites will come down. On a textured paper (or a rag), it will have nice detail as well (though color balance becomes a little more critical.

Finanlly this one is problematic. By, and large, it's a snapshot. A moment to remember. It's got potential, there's a lot going on. The general compostion is good, but the light was poor. I had to push the sensor to 1000, and even at that I was on the feathered edge of stable. Yes, 28mm at 1/60th is well inside the rule of thumb (length of lens/shutter speed), but it was cold, and I was getting tired (a little over two miles in to the falls, this was at least half way back. Cloudy and not very warm). The other problem (and you can see it with Sienna's head) is that 1/60th is barely enough to stop motion.
I have no idea who the guy in the middle is, they were just passing through.

There are, as usual, a few more photos in the stream.
