Butterfly Weed Blooms
Uploaded: May 22, 2003 11:11:36
Sorry the buzz mobile crashed (PC hard drive failure). Pat and I were not injured :0) This is the first attempt to post something off my laptop so can you please tell me if it looks okay? The laptop screen leaves a lot to be desired as to colors and sharpness. These blooms should be bright orange with a shallow DOF in front of a green background. Hopefully I'll get the desktop PC working again in a few days??

It looks great, Murry. Perfect DOF.art #36156

Thanks, Art. I'm really struggling with the small screen and keyboard but it's better than nothing. I hope everyone at BP is backing up often. This was a year old Dell desktop so the drive is under warranty but what an inconvenience. I had just archived my latest digital negatives the night before it happened but still lost some in progress images that will have to be redone. Better safe than sorry, Y'all. #100341Carolyn M.

It's gorgeous!! Looks like you say it should. #100361Murry Grigsby May 26, 2019

It looks beautiful, Murry, as always!Joy Brown May 26, 2019
Came out great, Murry! Love the perspective. #100411Murry Grigsby May 26, 2019
Thanks, Kathleen, Judith, Angela and Joy. Sorry I didn't get the buzz around New England finished but unfortunately those images are gone for now. They will have to be rescanned and cleaned up in PS and I'm not inclined to do that again right away. So until I get in a better mood I'll just post current photos :0) #100424Claudia Kuhn May 26, 2019

Thankd, Claudia. I'll be putting my work to CD much more often from now on!! #100440Gerda Grice May 26, 2019
Murry, the colours are exactly as you described them (lovely, too!)and so is the DOF. Nice work. I hope that your desktop is up and running again very soon. I had to do a complete reformatting of my hard drive last year, so I can empathize, too. #100936Jill Battaglia May 26, 2019
I'm glad you weren't injured, but sorry about the photo casualties! ;-) This looks great however! #101275Murry Grigsby May 26, 2019
