I think Witt the Nit is in a slump......time to post the floras again.
Show 'em if ya got 'em.....dead or alive NO plastics or silks

here ya go nit Witt, an old Panasonic P&S....no composition

Me, me!

I followed a couple of ladies around (no birds were cooperating ) and I watched them photographing flowers. I watched them work around some Camelias (sp?) and saw the flowers they photographed. So I did the same...how'd I do?

Lets touch base:

It must be bad when not only you shoot flowers, but you photomanipulate them!

water lily in SYD Botanical Gardens

Ya know Dave, that Panasonic is a definite contender in the floral-rama game! It has a certain look to the greens, I saw this shot and knew it was with the Panny camera

Brenton, that is rather erotic looking buddy Nice manipulation So that is what you do with your flowers, I am beginning to worry Brenton

Hope Karl enjoys

a crazy song that I hear every now and then:
Men

It's great to be on a ship with men
And sail across the sea-o
We don't know where we'll land or when
But it's great to be with men
'Cause men can sweat and men can stink
And no one seems to care-o
We'll throw the dishes in the sink
And clog the sink with hair-o

Men, men, men, it's a ship filled with men
So batten down the ladies room,
There's no one here but men
There's men above, there's men below
There's men down in the galley
there's Chad and Dave and Ant and Tim
And one guy we call Sally

Men, men, men, it's ship all filled with men
You'll never have to lift the seat
There's no one here but men
We're men and friends until the end
And none of us are missus
At night we'll sleep in separate beds
And blow each other kisses

Men, men, men, it's a ship all filled with men
So throw your rubbers overboard
There's no one here but men

Socrate

The day I escaped from a giant killer bee, this flower was about 16' 8.79 inches across.

Will & Karl,

you are both so sweet.

Glad you like it. I've had to make about 4 or 5 different crops of this shot to satisfy everyone - this is my favorite I think...

Come on everyone - it's cold & dark in many places - - let's brighten things up.

Lil

Cool collection everyone. Like that idea Brenton.

Well I played out all of my "good" flowers on TM's Karl flower extravaganza so I had to go digging and came up with this shot. What the h3ll, I've had some weak posts lately so what's another?

The hor ti culture still has me laughing!! Will.

Tom Sweeney the first shot is splendid!

Tony here is a contrast to that wonderful display of color

Dave and Karl, hope you like it in some way.

Tim
