    Kinda like Loren,
    I finally got a roll of film processed I had forgotten about. Unlike Loren, my pictures aren't pretty :)

    All cacti I'm afraid! Just think, when I get my rolls back from last weekend, you guys will get to see Joshua Trees instead of cacti :D

    Oh, yeah, and one moonrise.

    Excuse my crappy clone stamping and scanning skills, please!

    Hey Rick,

    I like these, and you should send a couple of slide that you really like and I will scan them with the Nikon 8000. It does make a difference and I think it would bring out the true quality of your photos. Scanning Velvia is one of the toughest things I know... Years of practice for me.

    You have good color and composition and I always find your shots interesting.

    The 1st and last are great - especially the last - best moon shot I have seen in a while!

    These are great! Even the boring cacti looks amazing in that sunlit background!!!

    Thanks Crew :)

    Penny, more unpretty pictures in the wings, I promise :D

    Loren, that's awfully nice of you to offer. I may have to take you up on that one of these days. I am looking to get my website up and running pretty soon, so I could use a real good scan of a couple of slides.

    Thanks!

    I like these, a lot! The colours are nice. Are those little "things" stars? If so, how did they end up looking like that?

    Re: Kinda like Loren,
    Thanks, Pyxel. Yes, those are stars, circling due to a long shutter speed (about 15 minutes) and the rotation of the earth while the shutter was open :)

    Thanks for the info, I need to start experimenting with Shutter speed or maybe I should just re-read the manual that came with my camera :lol:
