It was a cool spot...one of those, "I really shouldn't be laying here on the edge of the cliff but I can't help myself!!" places Β Thanks for the feature

thanks! I know I got looks from the non-photographers that were hanging around on the bluffs, but I wanted THAT shot so I had to get down in the dirt

I've never seen the wild iris in such numbers! I'm glad I was able to find a group that let me get this shot - without falling off the bluff ( I had to clone out a grass blade that was whipping wildly in the wind too distracting!)

WayneBenedet In reply to kayaksailor [2010-03-29 18:54:22 +0000 UTC]

I like tyhe contrasting colours. The DOF is about perfect too. I always carry cloths pegs in my camera bag, that way I can pin those distracting things out of the way... (Just a little something I learned at the college I studied).... I also carry clear nail polish.... great for temporarily attaching all kinds of things from lenses to filters.

Both are excellent ideas! In fact I'm going to go add some clips to my bag right now

WayneBenedet In reply to kayaksailor [2010-03-30 05:29:18 +0000 UTC]

if you need a real HARD hold, nail glue works well.... but I warn you... it can be hard to detach even with nail polish remover.

i have always used glass bottles, and in 35 years I have never had a leak. but I agree, if it ever did leak... what a mess.

It's a shame there were all those weeds in front of your bridge picture? Nice find.
