Currently 2015 is filled with too many time consuming items of bad news which is just a continuation of all the bad news of 2014. Currently we are nursing our little pet after a spinal cord injury. I miss you too sweetie but getting back into the swing of my interests will have to wait until time constraints and family matters are back to normality. Thank you for your lovely comment Pare and I am sure that we will meet again and see each other's photographic posts. Very best wishes as always with love and hugs......Ray

Hi there Libby, thank you sweetie and of course I remember you. Currently I am not posting. 2014 is proving to be a very very bad year in my personal life with several things going wrong. I will come back again when I feel recovered properly. I hope you are OK. My very best wishes to you sent with a great big HUG.

Many thanks Rafi and extra thanks regarding HDR. I am such a dunce when it comes to using my computer. I have used Photoshop for many years and my latest update is CS5 BUT I am no closer to understanding it than I was at the beginning :) I just use it for the most basic tasks, sizing and cropping. Good to see some more posts from you and a pleasure to view them. Best wishes.

Hello Ray, you don't need HDR to create wondful, prize-winning photos like this. However, HDR is quite simple. Most cameras can shoot the same frame with 3 levels of exposure, correct, over and under-exposed and a program called Photomatix found on the internet will unite them,It's lot of fun and you can create crazy photos by uniting all kinds of scenes. Thank you for you kind words about my recent photos. They're very much appreciated. Keep well too, Rafi
