Very nice pics Barb :smile:

[Barbwire]

Once more I find myself saying, thanks, Jenn! :D

[Pasogirlz]

You better hold onto those for next springs photo contest. :D

[Brigitte]

Awesome!!

[JennLM]

*grins* don't thank me yet Barb mwuahaha we have to finish our convo...

[Linda Y]

OK, what kind of camera is that? Great color and clarity.

[PasoVicki]

Oooooh, those are pretty.

[Barbwire]

Thank you all, for your kind words!

Linda, it's an Olympus, Camedia Digital C-700 Ultra Zoom with a 10x optical zoom. I got it used, and have abused the heck out of it. I love the thing to death, but some day, I want to upgrade.

[JennLM]

Wow bar, I have an Olympus Camedia C5050 zoom. NO clue what all the buttons and things do on it, it scares me.

Those are beatuiful pictures Barb. Now, see if you can get a butterfly on Amante's nose and enter it in the contest!

[Barbwire]

Gosh, Jeany, you are a demanding little thing, aren't you? :lol:

Oh, found one more I liked:

If I were to enter one in a contest, which one should I pick?

[Linda Y]

Upgrade? Why? How could you top photos like that? It even blurs background like a 35mm. I think I shall trip lightly over to eBay and see what they go for la-de-da-de-da.
Use that first photo. Great detail, no distraction in the background. Background color great with the color of the butterfly. Actually, the background looks like stained glass. Beautiful.

[color=indigo]Gosh, Jeany, you are a demanding little thing, aren't you? :lol:


...guilty....

It would make a cool picture though. :razz:

[cowboy ed]

[motorgypsy]

Gorgeous! Cone flowers and butterflies - natures beauties!

[dana]

[DebbieS]

[Barbwire]

Great photos. Do you have a local fair to enter them in? Our town has one and I enter every year. They have different catagories and you can enter 5 photos. It is a such a big deal for me to get some wins - there is alot of competition. You should enter something!!

[Carol Nelson]

Ain't that just the purtiest picture you've ever seen...???
Whoops...I was lookin' at your avatar! ;-) :D

(the butterflies and the bees and the flowers are nice too! grin) :lol:

[Barbwire]

Carol, the avatar pic is from a rodeo we went to last night. It was the only picture that came out, it was too dark for the rest. It's a crying shame, because there were some really nice cowboy butt shots to be had. :(

[CarolU]

Very nice picrtures Barbara....just love another naturalist on the BB. The butterflie is awesome! Good camera work.

[appyday]

Wow I do love the bee shot

[Brigitte]

great shot!
