Another of your fantastic photos.
Thanks Gene, I appreciate your nice comment. I get out there shooting about 3 times a week and I believe I am improving all the time. Practice makes perfect! I'm not there yet but I love learning about photography and have picked up lots of tricks.

WINNER!!! Really, you should enter it in the next contest that comes up! :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:
THank you Amy for your encouragement......last summer I entered what I thought was a fantastic photograph at our county fair and it didn't even make it into the contest. After that I have been really disappointed with contests in general. After all, what is a contest? It's a person's opinion that happens to be a judge.
It really left a bad taste in my mouth about people's opinions and the politics that may go along with those judges. So, I don't do "contests" now.

Beautiful picture. I am curious as to whether you used a CPL on this shot.
Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for sharing.
NO, I didn't use a CPL filter, but I did use a Vivitar UV filter on it. While on the pier in Huntington Beach I talked to another photographer and asked him what kind of filter he was using...............he told me that he doesn't like using filters because it takes away from the photos. I personally like the "protection" that a filter gives to protect the lens and will loose a little quality to have that protection.

Thanks, just wondering aBout the rainbow and if a polarizer would have any affect on it. I tend to agree with you about the protection afforded by a filter, keeping in mind that there are times when it can produce unwanted effects. I bought a set of filters, CPL and 1A, I still have the CPL but the 1A escaped leaving me unprotected
