Hola Clark, muchas gracias for looking at my eclipse shot, sunrise album, and you're very kind words. It's always great to hear from you. I think I was a little ambitious when I set off to photograph the eclipse with my borrowed tripod, (there so crappy and expensive here, so waiting until I visit the US), and 150mm max lens......the original shot looked like a pea so had to blow it up a lot. The moon was also higher in the sky than I'd anticipated, it started at 9.00pm here, which was when I did the shooting. But I learnt a lot from the experience about exposure, as I rarely take night shots. Still the lucky part is that I knew I'd get a clear sky as there isn't any rain from November until April/May, and rarely clouds at night. have a good weekend, cheers, Lorraine. p.s. I was just browsing and came across someone who had space pics uploaded, some credited others not, why would anyone want to show photos that weren't theirs! This person was very high in the most intersting WS list! Weird.

Aloha Clark! Mahalo! Thank you so much for your wonderful note on my portrait of Annie! She is one of my dearest friends in Interior Alaska and I will miss her so much when I move to the island. Hopefully one day she will fly over to visit. We would have such fun!! You are traveling to the mainland soon, yes? Penny is here on your forum, imagine that! I wish you a beautiful day my sweet friend! 4 Days and Counting!! Sharon

Hey Clark, Sorry I haven't had much time lately to look at your latest work. I'm in the middle of a big move to Cleveland. Once things settle down, I'll be sure to check them out. Aloha! Penny

Hi Clark, You were a busy boy today on Webshots and you are one of the reasons that Webshots is such a fun place. I was a bit blown away by all of your comments on my photos. Thanks much just for taking the time to view my shots, much less to leave so many comments. I, too, think that the fall fence shots were my best shots last year and perhaps my best since I switched to digital. I was intentionally on that road early one Sunday to photograph the sunrise and when I saw that spot with the trees, leaves, fences and shadows I slammed on my brakes and popped my old car in reverse. Yes I was laying down in the grass and leaves on all of those shots taken from ground level. I really dont much like to use a tripod, if possible. That sunset at Newport was amazing and I was very glad my battery held up for the all of it. Don't you wish sunsets lasted twice as long? I know I do! I have a few more shots from it I will probably post one of these days. I learned the hard way about leaving sunsets too soon, often many wonderful colors show up after the sun is below the horizion. There is a funny story behing the shot "Alluring" that you commented on. I was very surprised by how this photo came out as I never saw anything that looked like this that morning. The forground of this shot should have been all sand and waves, like in may other of those shots, but somehow it came out like this and I have no idea how it happened. Sometimes you just get lucky when taking photos. Have a great time on the big rock. I hope your photo shots go very well. I love going back to Miami, where I grew up as a young boy, though I have not been there often or now in 9 years, since we finally discovered Hawaii!! Who needs Miami when Aloha calls so loudly from the Pacific? Mahalo, Randy

muchas gracias Clark for your help. I had never seen the options about prints, etc. but have now followed Sharon's advice and stopped the print buying. It hadn't been an issue before the success of the Huatulco Sunrise album, partly because the 3 mega pixel Canon I had used up until this xmas wasn't going to produce big prints anyway! But with the Olympus and 10 mpix it's a different matter! I'm just finsihing grading exams, and hiring/settling in new teachers, so have had my time taken up, but with students gone for 2 weeks soon, I'm hoping to view more of my WS friends albums which I've sadly neglected recently - apologies - hasta luego! cheers, and thanks again, lorraine

Hi Clark, hope you are well and life is good. I have a query, (which I've asked Sharon about too), and as you know your way around WS and photos, and I'm sure you've had similar requests and know about copyrights,etc....what if someone asks you for a print of one of your photos? Am I right in thinking one's WS friends can order prints from WS of my photos, or is it only the photo owner? Do you have any of your photos on stock photo sites? Thia is all new to me!!! any advice would be welcome, cheers, Lorraine
said lorrainemx
The beauty of those photos fits the phrase "sent from Heaven". I sure would love to see Hawaii one day. Have a wonderful day, dear friend! Sincerely, June

Hi Clark; Thank you for alerting me that you had posted more photos to your already outstanding album. I am surprised that Webshots has not featured that album yet. It is one of the most beautiful albums, ever! I am so happy to hear that you will be traveling to Las Vegas and San Diego. What fun! Two very outstanding cities that will give you many, many photo-ops. Beautiful sunsets over the harbor and Sea World in San Diego and all of the exciting resorts and casinos in Las Vegas. The Bellagio is my favorite. I will look forward to those photos after you return home. Also, I have posted an album of Jennifer Carrasco's murals that will be hung in the Tommy Bahama restaurant and lounge. She is a famous NW artist whose works are known from coast to coast and she has such a lovely style. The Tommy Bahama retail store and restaurant are located in Town Square which is a new super mall with all of the very best of shopping anywhere. If you get a chance, I do hope you will stop by Tommy Bahama and see if her murals are in place as yet. The store is open now, but the restaurant is not supposed to open until March. Here is a link to her album. Warm regards, Marjie http://entertainment.webshots.com/album/562363796vkdyfu

Your travels sound so exciting Clark!! I am very excited for you!! I wish you every success with your photography business, and I am thrilled you will be published!! I am also happy to tell you I received a request today to use one of my images on a CD cover!! And thank you so much for your wonderful notes and endorsements on my work with the Yukon Quest! I love reading your intuitive thoughts! It was thrilling for me Clark! I wish you could have been there to see the race start, it was so fantastic!! I am still working full time until Friday, my last day, 8 hour days which leaves me with so few hours during the week to be online. I do hope you understand I have placed your new additions in your collection on the very top of my list of priorities!! I have been trying so hard to load the best images from the race, to postprocess and add my copyright info and lock/protect the images before uploading to finish the album. I had two hours sleep last night after working on it until 0600!! There are so many shots within this collection now, I feel I must find a stopping point. I added links as well for the race updates as this is a two week event. Your comment about an album feature has made me hopeful, it would be so wonderful if Penny would do this now! To have a current event with this historical and epic annual race as it is happening showcased on the homepage would be fantastic and I would be so thrilled! I wish you a beautiful evening my sweet friend!! Aloha! Sharon

I'm sad that you were having a bad day... and I'm so glad Lois sprinkled her magic joy on your day!! She's a joy, isn't she?! And I agree with every word she wrote below too! That sunrise that you just uploaded was incredibly inspiring!! Magical, glorious, and heavenly!! As are all of your thoughtfully composed images! ps I couldn't finish your album this morning because of many page loading problems on here today... not just with yours. Take care! -DJ
