Black brightens colors and makes flowers look beautiful. I bought 3 yards black fleece from Walmart. Set a piece of foam coreboard on a box on a dining room chair, spread the fleece across the table and over the coreboard. I place a shoebox or 4x4 scrp of wood underthe fleece to set the flowers on. My table is next to a window and under a 5 liight florescent chandelier but you can use any light set up. This indoor studio works great for any objects. I also have a pile of tablecloths in various colors to use as backgrounds. I like black best for flowers.

Uh oh. I really can spell "the bird" . I am going to apply excuse number
103. I had the wrong glasses on.

Great images. A few you might consider cropping a little to make thevirde stand out more, otherwise they are really fine.

I have all my important instruction books spiral bound. I also ask them to put a clear plastic sheet on the front and a piece of cardstock on the back. Sure saves wear and tear on the book.

Really fine photos, Art. What camara and settings did you use.

We got the Pro 100 last winter. Really love it. I also print greeting cards with my photos. Get all my papers and ink from Red River Paper. They have been having all 8 ink cartridges for the price of 7. I used my $300 dollar rebate to upgrade my tripod.

Was this shot in FX or DX? Telephoto or wide angle? How did you post process such a great shot? I can see that just the right amount of sharpening was applied!

Be sure to drive Oak Creek Canyon. Such a surprise to see this beautiful, wooded creek area in the dry desert.

Not true. Left handed scissors work great for us lefties.
LEFT RIGHTS!!!

As a lefty I use a Cotton Carrier hand strap on the right side of my camera which helps steady it, then I can push all the buttons right handed and still hold the camera. I do look with my left eye and manuel focus with my left hand. My husband gave me a wonderful gift. A lefty clock. It is counter clockwise. Myself and my lefty friends have no trouble reading it.

Just checked the pro 100 ink on Red River Paper. CLI42 multi pack is $118.99 . I buy a multipak and then change the cartridges as they go empty.

I just looked them up to double check and the 100 is dye based, the other two are pigment inks. The Pro 100 uses the CLI42 series of inks.

The PixmaPro 100 uses dye based ink. The Pixma 10& pixma Pro 1 use pigment inks.
