Thanks for the awesomly constructive comment on my piece Where to next, Galen. It's very much appreciated that others can also put the time and effort into their comments, and it's so pleasing having them on your own work.

Thanks once again, words really can't say enough. Best of luck with your future here on DeviantART, and of course out there in the real world.

Yeah I have been busy with lots of things. I haven't done much photography work lately but what I have done I posted on my new site. I have started posting there instead of here. But I may post some things here now and then. We will see. Talk to you later.

We got to get people to visit your page! Next time I make a journal entry, I'm going to start pimping the deviants who watch me who are seriously underviewed.

And thanks for the comment on Room For a Friend . Taken on a ferry moving at about 12 knots, so actually somewhat difficult too.

Hey, thanks for the comments. On Venice - Metropole , the curve lines that should be straight is from my lens (as I noted in the description, ahem). Pincushion is pretty common, especially in large ratio zoom lenses at their extremes. That one is a 28-200mm so it is gonna happen.

Peace.

That is cool, I just wanted to make sure you knew it was to be expected. I suppose, it might be possible for someone like some of the photo-gods around here to do that, but for mortals like us, well you know. :) (Smile)

Hey, thanks for commenting on Living The Challenge and Challenge Out Of Control . I appreciate it. Btw, the focus is fine on that one, it just isn't possible to have the image be unblurred with a 1 sec exposure and that is what I was going for there - hence the out of control in the title.

Peace.

Banda In reply to nsfbr [2003-09-23 15:28:40 +0000 UTC]

Oh I understand, I was just saying it would have been "Perfect" if the subject wasn's blurred and the background was. But that is very hard to do unless you follow the subjec't movement just right with the camera.

Thanks for all of your comments. You really went back and checked out some of my oooold stuff, but I'm glad you liked it all the same. Up until about January of this year I was shooting on this little crappy wal mart digital, and I'm still not sure how it ever gave me anything decent to work with. Anyway, thanks for taking the time to check my gallery. :D (Big Grin)
