Thank you, Lance. It was a very emotional trip-life changing. Even with the passage of many years since this trip, these images still bring tears to my eyes. Our freedom comes with a cost. |

Lance, please explain how you bracketed the shots. As I understand bracketing, you take 3 successive shots with different exposures, but did you basically shoot 9 images? Three for newborn's eyes, three for hand, three for mother's eyes? When you bracket, exactly what is it you do? I know a little about it, but I don't do it. Thank you for the explanation. I love learning from all of you who are much more proficient than I. Many of my good shots are accidents!!! LOL!!! |

Jennifer, again your nature images are so fascinating and beautiful. I remember my mother telling me a story about being the ocean as a child and seeing what she thought was a beach ball!!! She quickly found out what it was when she tried to grab it! It is a beautiful but very dangerous creature!! I would love to see you put all of your nature images into a book! I'm sure that you are running out of wall space! I, too, love the "echoes" of the sail. The peacefulness of the sail and the reflections belie the danger. |

My first thought was sequins, but these have an obvious side edge, although some shiny beads do as well. It looks like a piece of fabric behind--could you have used the same technique that Steven did? Throwing some shiny beads into the air? I'm sure it is much more technical than that. And the shifting colors and star bursts really add to the complexity. I can't wait to find out what you did to get this image! |

There is interest in the blur, but I really like the sharpness of the stop action. It is so spot on. Great work. I think had you been able to get the dice further apart with the blur, I might have liked it, but with the dice overlapping, I really like the sharpness better. |

I like all the textures and shapes of the soaps, and I really like the contrast on the black background. I have not really tried to convert images to BW, but there are many images that I have with poor lighting/color that would benefit from that conversion. In my next life, I will work on that! Good job, as Will said, of making the ordinary very interesting. |

Steven, I had several different versions of the image, but that one seemed to me to best convey the feeling I had there-the overwhelming sense of grief, sacrifice, and loss. And the crosses DID go on forever-which was another thought I had in the way I took the picture. One never can know what those soldiers went through.
Thank you for your comments. |

Thank you, Jennifer. I agree wholeheartedly with your comments. Sadly, I fear that history is not being taught like it was when we were in school. I wish that ALL those in government as well as all students would be required to go to that cemetery. As I said, it was truly life changing. There are still bomb craters there. Another picture that I considered sharing was at Point du Hoc--it is a 90' sheer cliff that the Army Rangers had to scale. The Germans were at the top shooting them one by one, but they were finally able to take the area. They had practiced with grappling hooks, but they failed to consider the extra weight of the wet ropes, so many of the hooks missed the marks. I was so pleased to be able to share that experience with my son and his wife. |
