Thank you---she is beautiful!!!! Laci is about 60 lbs. so far. She always crosses her fronts. As you can see in picture #1, She is a little spoiled, but she is a good girl. 3 obedience classes with flying colors. Yes Labs do have their problems, but can't live without them. We lost one in May at 13 yrs. (black also). Then this one came along to help out
I hope Ziva continues to be healthy and have a wonderful life
Thank you---she is beautiful!!!! Laci is about 60... (

Ohh she is gorgeous, so sorry about your loss, it is hard, they are family members without a doubt.
Can not replaces the lost ones but the others help so much to fill some of that void. And personalities all their own. I don't think I know a lab that isn't spoiled, they make it so easy to do, so lovable and loyal beyond belief.
You have a beautiful baby there best of luck and good health to you both. Thanks for sharing the photos, my wife will love them !

Thank you. Labs are the best. She is LACI, 1.5 yrs old. How old is Ziva? I bet she is a beauty
Labs are fantastic dogs, such great companions, Ziva is our baby for sure, she just turned 7 a few days ago.
She is big for a female lab, about 23/24 at the shoulder, had some typical lab problems a cancerous tumor on her side that was removed, and a torn ligament in a hind leg, but she is doing great now. Wish I had a better photo here but I am on my iPad.

Presenting this old staircase like that, with just a touch of lightening but enough to guide us farther up, makes us wondering what is looming on the top of the steps. It leaves me with the feeling that this house is haunted, very well composed, I like it a lot. And thank you for giving us some history of this structure.
Thank you so much, I feel in shots like this the history and some of the stories are what are important, and trying to capture that intrigue is both exciting and challenging. I had spent many many hours in the gallery downstairs over the years, not being up to the studio because I am in a wheelchair, but my friends decided after I took this shot it was time for me to go to see what laid beyond, and up we went, I was thrilled.
My friend had his studio there for many years and was himself a world famous photographer and artist, he had a wall of photos of people that had visited him there, you would be amazed by many of the famous folks that spent time there. Many actors, politicians, chefs, singers, entertainers of all kinds, and even a world leader or two. If those stairs could talk ....

I love the lighting. It makes it very eerie and mysterious....what's at the top of those stairs?
My friends Darkroom and old apt. was on one of the floors and a studio loft he used to share with next door neighbor Tennessee Williams while he was living there writing A Streetcar Named Desire. On the right side of the stairs was a large portal window from the courtyard allowing that great light. I was able to get out of my chair onto the floor so I had something to lean against since I didn't have a tripod. I was told that is still the original wood, the stairs have not been replaced. Amazing.
Thanks .

Thank you for your response, what stop ND and how long is your exposure?
Nice images.
Thanks for posting
cheers
-10 and -16 those were approx 5 and 6 minutes.
Thank you for responding.
Very nice capture, love the white clouds behind the tree, makes it pop.

Since you enjoy the long exposure you may also enjoy trying some infra red work as well.
Long exposures can be a bit of an enemy here though, to avoid that you can use a conversion camera.
Otherwise it is learning the filter setting etc. Still it is fun to play around with.

I use ND filters in a lot of my work, and have recently been using -16 and -10 stop Formatt Firecrest filters, along with a -6 B&W filter I do mostly black and white in long exposure work, but have noticed with the B&W -6 filter there is a slight red shift when doing color photos, I do not get that with the Formatt Firecrest High Tech. I have really enjoyed doing the long exposure shots I have been doing since last summer, and they have sold well at the last gallery show I had this past month. I recently posted the first one I took last summer, still looking to improve of course, as always, and enjoy the feedback and suggestions I receive on here. Yours looks great, encourages me to do some more color work. Keep up the good work.
