Jean, I haven't used interchangeable lenses or filters since I used my old Canon A-1.

I now have a Canon SX30 IS and I adjust the timing or shutter speed to allow more or less light in. The good thing about digital cameras, you can take dozens of pictures at different settings, and simply delete the undesirable ones.

I will usually zoom to the desired photo shape/content, then take a few pictures at different shutter speeds to get the best colour or lighting which I desire.

Yesterday...

Thanks for posting this beautiful picture. Looks like things are a little slow on many of the GW forums right now. Hopefully things will pick up when the weather warms up.

Thanks Seil :-) I wonder though if Julia Child has a more consistent size across climates, it's small to medium down here. Whereas Buck roses change--according to the Buck rose website Carefree Beauty is a small shrub and ARE in TX says medium to large?? I should post to the general forum I think.

Tequila Sunrise and Pretty-N-Pink are maybe in the process of being registered. Still Ten English pounds is a lot of moular to some (and me). Tequila Sunrise is lovely. Pretty-N-Pink has a minor fault only visible to Tolumnia purists. Had a look at Orchidom previously and was impressed. Closer to home and you do not have to worry so much about the guardians of the gates. You might have to be careful with Ã¢ÂÂclonesÃ¢ÂÂ, are they talking about Mericlones which are usually more expensive than seedlings. The other big advantage is growing conditions. The Caribbean is probably Tolumnia Heaven. Three clones of Tolu. Alyshia showing the variation you sometimes get from the one compot of seedlings which in this case means produced from seed. The crossing is Shannon Elizabeth x Sizzler. Sizzler was registered by Robert Perreira. Tracking the ancestors of a cross will usually find an ancestor registered by Perreira or Moir. Thank you gentlemen! This post was edited by arthurm on Mon, Jun 30, 14 at 15:32

Hey @User they have quite a few of yours--and evidently, they say Marianne is the best. :) Here's the page. If it is all above board, I'd be happy to order these from them. Two of the three I ordered from RVR last year were completely wrong (if you remember that thread last summer) which was VERY frustrating. Thankfully Jeri Jennings turned out to be correct and is growing beautifully. Since you are here, may I ask about Mel's Heritage? Simple question--best in full sun? Or is this shade tolerant? Morning sun only situation here in Portland, Oregon.

San Antone? We're practically neighbours. We were at the river walk a few weeks ago. It was nice...no bugs, low humidity and warm weather.

Hi kentuck....quick question. What lens do you use for your sunset photos, and do you use any kind of filter, or post effects? Lovely photos. Thanks

oh my.....that photo is awesome. The composition and the color. How did you get that orange sky?

Jean, who is going out to play with her camera, which at this time has only the one lens..LoL

Thanks, Jean.

That was the colour of the sunsetting sky, but it may not have been quite that intense, as when I use a faster shutter speed, the colours are usually more intense.

Zooms like that usually require the fastest shutter speed, around 1/1600 or 1/2000 or 1/2500th of a second.

I'll be trying to get tonights sunset...as usual, if the clouds cooperate.

Sunset and moonset.

We're in a severe drought here, and the only cloud in the sky was letting out rain as the sun set behind it. The moon is in the upper left of the picture.
