Beautiful shots, S_D! Looks like you had a great trip!

SD...

Sounds like it was a great trip. We did the Rockies (Mesa Verde, Durango/Silverton,Eagle, Estes Park and RMNP) in 2006 on the bike. It was the best trip I have even taken. The scenery is just beyond words.

Thank you for sharing the photos:-)

Oh the Rockies

...I Didn't yake this photo but was involved in it:

That is something I hope to do before I get too old!

We saw a lot of rafters on the Colorado along I-70. Lucky you!

Have you ever noticed Surfer's Dudes head!!

I know I risk finding my head attached to some strange body but I couldn't help myself.

I'd make fun of you Chuck but it has been done,....and done....and done....

Looks like Surfer Dude will float...if he falls out of the boat.

That's gorgeous!!

Wow Nolena, I didn't know you were a big Star Trek fan.

ForestGal · « **Reply #472 on:** Jul 28, 08, 04:46:12 PM »

Nolena wears foil hats, remember?

Surfer_Dude, I just set the butterfly and flower one to be my new desktop photo. Really nice work!

BEAUTIFUL butterfly photo, I love the colors & bokeh!!!

ForestGal · « **Reply #475 on:** Jul 28, 08, 09:58:11 PM »

What's a bokeh? I'm not a photographer - is that an exclusive term?

Surfer_Dude · « **Reply #476 on:** Jul 29, 08, 07:48:34 AM »

It is using out-of-focus areas in a shot to limit distractions or just generally enhance a photograph and usually used to make a subject stand out.

Here I used a shallow DOF (depth of field) to limit almost all distraction except the Butterfly and target flower.

Using a wide aperture lens really helps to create a shallow DOF.
Here I used my 50mm 1.4 at 2.2, ISO 160, 1/5000 sec.

Sorry about that ForestGal, I get used to using terms and I forget others do not use it! My sister and I are always saying "Bokeh!!!!!"...kinda of a running joke btwn us, so I use it as an everyday word. You know how sisters are!!

STUNNING work SD!!!! This should be a magazine cover, printed HUGE on a wall....... Very professional!
