Luigi (and all the contributors) -- don't worry about deleting a photo. I'll be in touch with everyone to make sure I get the correct 3 pix for each person. Then, I'll post with the list I am working with so that I don't print the wrong pic.

I am doing the following:

1. counting and keeping track of which pic each person wants
2. looking to see if the pic needs a release (I'll contact you directly)
3. preparing my next request

The next request will ask you for the details about the pic and a hi-res version for me to put in the book. See the details in post #82. I will review the hi-res version and make sure it fits the spec.

I am still exploring ways for the pix to be transmitted to me, but may ask for a CD or DVD medium.

29 days and counting.

Regards to all,

Hi everyone - first post, but been hanging around for a year or so. You guys have been a great influence, first getting my M8 and then pushing my photography. Three pics:

1. London South Bank - 35 Lux

2. Essex Marshes - WATE

3. Wild Horse in the New Forest - 90 Elmarit

cheers, richard

So many... I'll stick with wildlife

Richard, the South Bank shot is stunning. Doesn't this thing get great low light shots. The saturation of the red is phenomenal.

Jaap, are these your pets, in your back yard? So, how far away were you?

[jaapv]

These were in Busanga Plains, North Kafue National Park, Zambia.
They are (nearly) uncropped. The couple is with the 135/4.0 TE, the two others with the Noflexar/T 5.6-400 on VisoflexIII.

The nose, maybe 3 meters, the cubs, about seven or eight, the couple, maybe 15.

If you feel that doesn't fit in your book, I have plenty of others.

Jaap. they're gorgeous.

Thanks Bill - appreciate your feedback, especially amongst such great company. If you are ever in London it's worth having a wander along the south bank - there are some great city-scapes between Waterloo and London Bridge. To tell the truth it was a beautiful scene - I even had to tone down the red saturation a touch in PP cause it was just too bright. The book's a great idea - I'm definitely in. richard

I have sent this in colour..I cant decide between this and the B&W image posted on page 9..Please feel free to use either ie. in the interests of a balance of images in the book. Des

[wparsonsgisnet]

DES, what if we printed both versions on facing pages?

Caryl, check out the b/w in post 161.

[carylwithay]

I prefer the one in color.
Bill, as long as you said i can change my mind, and as a dizzy woman, I have, I would like to substitute this image of the Marin Hills for the one of the Dome.
Caryl

[wparsonsgisnet]

Caryl, done.

DES, this is a fascinating picture of the hills. In color, the foreground looks like you can touch it. In b/w, the velvetiness of the distant hills is sensuous. I will study the two some more at home on the "good" monitor.

Regards,

[DES]

Thanks Caryl & Bill for your very kind words.
Bill you are the boss,....I would be honoured and so pleased to do as you think best.Des

[wparsonsgisnet]

DES, in the book thread, post 104, I have asked the other posters what they think about a double posting for your mountains.

Nice pic!

[DES]

Whay can I say Bill...
Thank you very much...I am very honoured...Even if nothing comes of it Des
