Lemon Glass by Carey Edwards

Blade of a Thai Lemon Grass plant. ‘Planet Awareness’. Macro Untouched Scavenger Hunt. “Something Green”. The drought appears to have broken here in Queensland, and with the constant rain there are plenty of plants collecting the drips and drops throughout most of the region, my garden included.

'Dragonfly' by Sky Fox FPP

Naples, Florida USA LARGE VIEW, please – for detail As I walked around the hotel this morning enjoying my Iced Mocha Coffee; watching – waiting – anticipating – on a job… I was becoming restless. Always having my camera worn as a necklace – I came across this flirty little feller. I named him Tommy. He had a confident personality and was curious about the camera and playful around me! Thats always a good thing! Also – I had read an article that I wont mention because I wouldnt recommend that site to my worst enemy but I digress. The article was regarding CENTERING IMAGES can sometimes be a wonderful effect! I wanted to give it a go here. I love the ol’ rule of the thirds but have to admit… sometimes centering an image is not only the RIGHT thing to do but it also gives terrific control in pulling the viewers eyes to the subject! He landed right in front of me with this expression as if to say ‘Morning, Miss. Im Tommy… hope you have a Kick Ass day’! He seemed to enjoy having me around and I certainly wasnt running him off – quite the poser! The morning light – those priceless hours – were working for us! It was right after dusk when the morning was about the turn to full-on day. / Admittedly – I am new to macro since getting the XTi so please consider that when viewing. Also – I dont edit yet but I am starting to play in PS – just havent got it down and feel uncomfortable with images after I use it. So I dont – but soon will. I am going to commit to it. Probably in the way of taking a class at the Miami Community College. This was actually shot with a TELEPHOTO lens – as that was the lens I had on for nature or any wildlife I may have ran across. Besides – the right telephoto lens can make for a Kick Ass Macro lens! Having the XTi – anything is possible – that in and of itself pushing my limits and is dramatically broadening my horizons. I am so grateful I chose this piece (Canon Rebel XTi) of equipment and would recommend it to anyone! I sincerely hope Y’all can see some growth taking place in my photography – hopefully even in my horizons – in general – would be killer!

About This Group

This is a group for Tropical Art. It can be in any form such as, photos, paintings, drawings, ect, but it MUST be tropical. Birds and flowers can be tropical, but most aren’t, so we don’t want to see that. I have seen photos of things that I can’t decipher the tropical out of. Tropical are includes, beaches, shells, tropical flowers and birds, people. Use good judgement. If it is a cold place put it in the beach group. We will allow three images per day. If the guidelines are not followed, your work will be deleted. If you feel that your art is truly tropical, then bubblemail me as to how, and I will consider it. We are starting forums and contests and I hope everyone will take part in them. Let’s do some Tropical!!!
