I pass by the factory nearly every day without much thought to picking up their candy, as my days of too many sweets are over. I once had a conversation with the president (he married into the family) about the amount of sugar he bought for his products.

Love your composition! I think the light and shadow add a great deal to the interest, but then I usually seek out dramatic light and weather. The peak is spotlighted, as is the red barn, and the clouds appear to be lit from below. Our eyes are drawn to the most important aspects of the image, and the shadows emphasize the "folds" of the sunlit portions of the mountain. Terrific work IMO.

Thank you, Linda !

This is a good subject and the shot will be even better if you shoot it in better light when the side of the hill facing you isn't in shadow.

I agree, however as long as I have been watching the morning and evening light on the sandstone it has never happened because of the sun rising above the terrain after the "magic light time" That being said I'm always taking another shot in hopes of better light.

Boy, that rose of sharon has beautiful colors. Gonna have to see about their habits and if they would thrive in our climate. Thanks

The office next to my shop in Wenatchee has several Hibiscus bushes growing next to the building, they've been regrowing from the root every spring for the last 5 years or so, they do bloom rather late in the season right up to the first nasty freeze. In Asia the same family will grow to 20', not so here.

Beautiful flower, I have never come across a lavender hibiscus

There was a lot of incredible flora in Asia that I had never seen, variations of color, incredible size and shape variations..... starting to plan another trip over there.

Lovely, N97972. The delicate shade of lavender is pleasing. Would like to see other angles of this blossom.

Would love to get back to Siem Reap to do a reshoot of this one, but it will be awhile before I return for that project ! On a serious note the larger Hibiscus blooms are tough to take a most angles because of a limited DOF with a close up shot. This flower has gotten me to thinking about getting motivated to do focus stacking though.

A shot I took on a trip to Siem Reap Cambodia last year. But I hit the send button too soon!

Affinity

Camerapapi,

I am curious how you set up your computer ( processor and ram) as I find my machine struggling a bit with Affinity Photo. I am currently doing research to keep my waiting time to a minimum.

Thanks,
