I greatly appreciate all who quoted me or commented on my pics and/or my attempts to provide meaningful feedback to the extent of my ability. I've always felt part of the "middle" here: many folks are more talented photographically and/or in their eloquent writing/teaching so there is much I can aspire to, and for those who are newer to the hobby, I have been able to support. What more could someone ask for than that kind of comfortable home?
Sometimes my comments in main forum may be quoted more than others simply because I include a photo or five
I feel strongly that photos often aid the discussions, not only for examples of what's being discussed, but to make it easier for a reader to decide if the person writing is worth listening to.
Love you guys!

Linda, your opinions and photos never cease to amaze me. They are great, I wish I had some of your knowledge of photography. I joined UHH to hopefully learn how to use my older crop camera and learn photography and do some PP in LR. I did not understand bracketing until reading some post on this forum, now I just have to learn to how to combine them in PP. I started going to Anthony Morganti's website thanks to a post on this site. So I wanted to thank you for the comments you have made on some of the photos, which are very few I have posted on this website.
Thank you and all of the UHH members that are on this site helping the younger and older folks (like me) learn photography.
Semper Fi,
Joe W.

Linda from Maine and rgrenaderphto are always on point and constructive. They are the part of the soul of the UHH that attracts photographers who are interested in improving their craft without endless trivial snide comments. I strongly support Linda's suggestions and have personally benefited from her individual comments and recommendations.

Beautiful shot Linda!

There are many talented and thoughtfully spoken individuals here; it's just that the loudest voices are usually the most negative. Thank you Scotty!
When shooting a sunrise or sunset, don't forget to turn around!

Here the lunar winds have deposited some surface scaling onto the burned ridge and spur line. Regrettably, lunar scales retard development of both deciduous and coniferous trees so it will take 60 or more years to see significant growth. Often there is evidence of lunatics being deposited along with the scaling. (Sorry I don't have photos comparable to Linda's)

Linda, beautiful shots!
Regarding the "There is a vocal contingent of folks on UHH who complain about all the bird photos posted here. Ironic?"
Well, "Birds of a feather", you already know. Grin, JimmyT Sends

Thank you ‘LindafromMaine’ - I always enjoy your comments.
Totally agree that when taking a sunset or sunrise turning around is a good move. Happy I remembered to do that or I would not have gotten this sunset shot.

This is my first post. I have been reading the UHH posts daily since last July.
I have been thankful for all the great insights and vast knowledge that is shared here.
In particular, Linda's comments and guidance have been very helpful.
After seeing her pictures of composing full moons, sunsets etc I was compelled to reply.
Great captures! And please continue to share your knowledge and insights.

I was finally successful in adding a moon to my Baltimore skyline where it would never naturally appear because the view over our harbor faces north. Finally figured out how to use layers in photoshop and the CC version's eraser tool works like a charm to make the background black sky transparent and show the dusky deep blue of the skyline photo. Next clear night of a full or nearly full moon I plan to compile a series of moons with 105mm and 300mm lenses in various positions in the frame to keep in a "moons" folder for later incorporation into other photos. From there I will do the same with various moon phases so that I have considerable flexibility. Fun to come. Pat
