Nice to see one already in bloom.! Mine in the back area have yet to get their act together and are hardly showing anything but leaves. :-( However I have a couple of questions? :-) > Wiliam Wagenaar, of the OM list, pointed out that I had this image > rotated 90 degrees CCW. <<<< 1/ How the hell would he know that if he weren't standing right where the flowers are? Shadows or not? Time of day? 2/ Like who cares anyway? It's still a beautiful photograph even if you were standing on your head! And the sun were shining sideways! And you added: "It has been properly oriented with the earth and sun, so the shadows and pollen are in the correct places. Thanks again, Wiliam." Well OK eh? I think under the circumstance of such a most significant sun-photographic moment and direction of sun and shadows?" How about showing both images as a learning curve for the crew so we'll always make sure we have the sun at the right angle? That's just in case some techie gets the twitches of sun direction? Thank you. :-) Or maybe just your response will answer this question: "Did you know you had posted the image wrong side up?" Or were you aware you'd made any kind of error when posting or down loading or uploading the image sideways or whatever way?" ;-) Or the very main question? Does it make a great big "holy hopping toads," of I screwed up of any kind of difference?" ;-) Damn fine photograph! PERIOD! :-) cheers, Dr. ted :-) > > Jim Nichols > Tullahoma, TN USA > ----- Original Message ----- > From: Jim Nichols > To: LUG at Leica-Users.org > Cc: Olympus Camera Discussion > Sent: Monday, April 25, 2011 1:41 PM > Subject: IMG: Flowers and Shadows > > > The first bloom of the season appeared on our Rhododendron bushes today. > The mid-day sun was bright, and the wind was gusty, but I finally got a > shot that I liked. > > http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/OldNick/Flowers+and+Shadows.jpg.html > > Comments and critiques welcomed. > > Jim Nichols > Tullahoma, TN USA > > _______________________________________________ > Leica Users Group. > See http://leica-users.org/mailman/listinfo/lug for more information
