Update and Invitation

John Zoerb, his friend Sue Retzleff, and Mike Earley visited my garden this afternoon and did some serious garden photography. The conditions were about as good as it gets. While overcast it was not dark and because of the rain, everything was covered with water droplets. On the other hand I didn't see any light reflecting off  of the foliage or water drops. The garden is exceptionally lush this year and both the foliage and bloom are exuberant. The daylilies are blooming unusually early and many available to photography, but we are probably 5-7 days away from peak bloom.

You are all cordially invited to visit the garden at any time. No need to call ahead. I'll be gone more than here this coming week so show yourself around. If you will be attending the meeting on Wednesday, why not come early and bring your camera (and consider a tripod as well).

Here are a couple of fantastic images I found cruising around the Internet: They were winners of the 1st Epson International Pano Awards contest (http://www.thepanoawards.com/) Click on the link to see the top 50 in all of the categories. It is daunting yet very exciting to see the quality of images being posted on the Internet every day. I have no doubt that the general level of photography has improved exponentially during the digital imaging revolution. It is an wonderful time to be a participant in this rewarding enterprise.
