Jean, I haven't used interchangeable lenses or filters since I used my old Canon A-1.

I now have a Canon SX30 IS and I adjust the timing or shutter speed to allow more or less light in. The good thing about digital cameras, you can take dozens of pictures at different settings, and simply delete the undesirable ones.

I will usually zoom to the desired photo shape/content, then take a few pictures at different shutter speeds to get the best colour or lighting which I desire.

Yesterday...

Thanks for posting this beautiful picture. Looks like things are a little slow on many of the GW forums right now. Hopefully things will pick up when the weather warms up.

Tequila Sunrise and Pretty-N-Pink are maybe in the process of being registered. Still Ten English pounds is a lot of moular to some (and me). Tequila Sunrise is lovely. Pretty-N-Pink has a minor fault only visible to Tolumnia purists. Had a look at Orchidom previously and was impressed. Closer to home and you do not have to worry so much about the guardians of the gates. You might have to be careful with Ã¢ÂÂclonesÃ¢ÂÂ, are they talking about Mericlones which are usually more expensive than seedlings. The other big advantage is growing conditions. The Caribbean is probably Tolumnia Heaven. Three clones of Tolu. Alyshia showing the variation you sometimes get from the one compot of seedlings which in this case means produced from seed. The crossing is Shannon Elizabeth x Sizzler. Sizzler was registered by Robert Perreira. Tracking the ancestors of a cross will usually find an ancestor registered by Perreira or Moir. Thank you gentlemen! This post was edited by arthurm on Mon, Jun 30, 14 at 15:32

My experience CUPHEA "Caribbean Sunset"
Q
Comments (0)
I tried this cuphea this season for the first time. Its advertised compact size was appealing as I put it in a pot. (In the past I have always used "Vermillionaire"). The size was right but in this one off it wasn't nearly as floriferous as I have experienced with "Vermillionaire" and I don't think I ever saw "our" hummingbirds use it.

comet in the sky after sunset
Q
Comments (22)
Look to the west maybe 45 minutes after sunset. I believe the comet will be setting about 9pm tonight our time or about 2:45 hrs after sunset. Venus is pretty easy to see as it the brightest "star" in the sky, usually the first one you see. You can tell it's a planet as it doesn't twinkle like stars do. I've read 20° north of venus but the degrees don't mean anything to me so that didn't help me at all. I know it makes no sense, but I think in feet and inches, so about 16" north. About 14" up from the horizon...but even that would depend on how high you are relative to the horizon... mountain vs. valley would be very different. It looks very much like the picture Fun posted, though much fainter. I had to try from a much darker area before I could see it with my naked eye. I managed to get in the shade of some trees which helps as the moon is full. If you can find your way into the shade, it'd be easier. Also spend some time at it. It takes about 20 min for your eyes to adjust completely to the darkness. I needed binoculars to find it. Once I knew where it was, I could faintly see it with my naked eye, but the binoculars really helped.

San Antone? We're practically neighbours. We were at the river walk a few weeks ago. It was nice...no bugs, low humidity and warm weather.

Hi kentuck....quick question. What lens do you use for your sunset photos, and do you use any kind of filter, or post effects? Lovely photos. Thanks

oh my.....that photo is awesome. The composition and the color. How did you get that orange sky?

Jean, who is going out to play with her camera, which at this time has only the one lens..LoL

Thanks, Jean.

That was the colour of the sunsetting sky, but it may not have been quite that intense, as when I use a faster shutter speed, the colours are usually more intense.

Zooms like that usually require the fastest shutter speed, around 1/1600 or 1/2000 or 1/2500th of a second.

I'll be trying to get tonights sunset...as usual, if the clouds cooperate.

Sunset and moonset.

We're in a severe drought here, and the only cloud in the sky was letting out rain as the sun set behind it. The moon is in the upper left of the picture.
