Beautiful! I'm sure there will be many photographers "willing" to share your condo with you.

Looks like a great body of water for fly fishing!
Great shots but would also have liked to see a few with slow shutter speed to make the water milky.

Vicki,
I just returned from a wedding in Novato!!! At the Country club on Stone Lane - a long way from Long Island, New York.
Love the area around there especially at dusk when the sky is blue and the grass is golden.

Vicki,
The composition and lighting of #1 is great, also like the pattern shot with two birds. Probably would like it more cropped a bit.

Tika, This bird was on the mirror of the car next to mine.

Bill,
Thanks - this is my first post so I guess I've figured out the first part of using this site.

After leaving an unsuccessful photo shoot loxahatchee wetlands in Florida I got to my car and found this shot. Always have your camera ready to shoot!

I am new to this site but very old to photography. As a child I took my first 12 pictures of black and white cows on a roll of film holding only 12 B/W images around 1948. When my dad said they were the best damn pictures he'd ever seen of cows I was hooked on photography. I've taken tens of thousands since then, starting with B/W, then color slides (remember them) and now digital. Probably travelled to over 35 countries and have mages from all of them. I teach a course "Composition in Photography" to senior citizens and hope to keep the shutter clicking as long at the ticker keeps ticking.
I have been reading these posts for a few weeks and intend to get more involved.
