thank you again everyone, i love this forum, it's so friendly and i am already learning so much! thank you for the shots of the bridge and also putting a lite inside that shell is a fabulous idea, i should try that somehow! and thank you i like contrast too!

very cool, thank you showing me your photo. I really need to get that photo taken care of. I live in Havasu so I think I will try to use the London Bridge for the lines! Somewhere up there anyway, thanks again!

I was playing around with light today and putting all over the place and bouncing it from the ceiling and putting a diffuser on the light and all sorts of fun things, I can only put three up so I will add them, it's not for school or anything but I had a blast and I am now off to take photos of other stuff on that table, I am having the time of my life. Still need my leading lines photo for my project tho, so tomorrow, it's down to business so I can send my photo project in, I got the cord for my printer but I still am waiting for the ink to get shipped out so I have like four more days to complete the task then it's out the door with my project and then just wait for my evaluation, thanks for all of your help you guys, I appreciate it so much, I am still getting used to it around here, but I am going to check things out after posting this. Have a great nite everyone!

It may be difficult for me to be able to shoot that car again, it's a friend of mine's car but they moved recently, when they come back to Havasu I will try to get him to help me out and try it again!

You guys are crazy!! I LOVE it!

thank you so much for your recommendation and I am going to amazon in just a few minutes to pick up the books thank you very much and your photography is amazing! I am trying so hard to learn but I think I am trying a little too hard and i am not letting myself be creative. Just trying too hard to get these shots I need for the projects, which I may just be able to do on a day of shooting in a more relaxed state of mind! Thank you for everything, you are terrific for taking the time out of your day to help me, thank you!

That IS framing the shot and that is quite exceptional by the way, it's beautiful and just terrific. Thank you for sharing it with me!

WOW! I can not thank you enough! You have restored my faith in myself! I was feeling a little overwhelmed! Thank you for all your kind words and for my Award! What an Honor! You are the best! Thank you Jedi! You take care and I am getting ready to turn in my project as soon as the cord gets shipped in the next few days for my printer. It takes some time to get our evaluations but as soon as I hear back I will let you guys know what happens!
Thank you again!

thank you!

I know it usually means a window or branches but I like this and think it works. also, isn't it a bit too washed out looking? Maybe I need to expose a little darker? I added two more options, but something just isn't quite right with them, either! I am becoming discouraged! But I just need to keep studying! I always want to go from A to D without having to hit B and C first and that's why I give up, this time that's not going to happen, I like photography too much and I am willing to do the hard work, thanks again everyone, you are all so kind to help me and again, i really, really appreciate this very much!

I want to thank you for your help, visually works very well for me! Your photography is absolutely beautiful by the way, I appreciate your time and help.

okay! NOW I get it, thank you very much!

very cool! I didn't get a macro lens, but what I did do was bought some extension tubes, you can add them to the lens and it give you the ability to take macro pics, very awesome. they were really cheap because i got them from ebay and ordered them from hong kong! I swear! It took a long time to get here but it was worth the wait/ Thanks for your message!

I can fix that and thank you very much!

thank you!
