Remember you would have a couple of friendly native guide Pentaxians
there :-) Christine A. and Bob S.

I didn't know you were from Chicago originally. I always assumed you

I've never been to either place (though, I have been near Chicago, in
Alsip), but I'd like to someday. I've thought about hopping the Amtrak
at Carbondale, IL and taking a day trip up to Chicago to take photos.
But, not having a clue about how to get around the place, I've never
been able to quite convince myself it's a good idea. Maybe someday.

I don't know from gladiolas. The girl who rented the place next door
planted them. I just look at them and say "lookit them yella flahrs". ;)

I agree with Ken - better
I tried to plant a new pun thread with "glad" (for gladiolas) but
guess we have to leave it alone.

Thanks, Kenneth!
Here's a whack at your crop suggestion. I didn't have a whole lot of
space to the left to work with:

I could go either way, but I see what you mean. I kind of liked having
the other flowers in the out-of-focus area, but I do like the
balance a
little better in your crop.

Nice capture! I might have shifted the composition a bit to the right
to balance the edge treatments - ie cut off on the right and
spaced to
the LH edge.

That's what they're called in western Kentucky parlance, anyway. I
figured I ought to get a few shots of them as I've been kind of
quiet on
the list of late -- at least in terms of sharing photos.
Yeah, it's just flowers. But, I felt like I ought to contribute
something more than questions. So, here's what I thought was the
best of
the few shots I took.

K-5, F501.7, ISO 80, f/8, 1/90 sec,
I used my Promaster 7500EDF flash(full manual) with the little
universal
softbox I picked up a few weeks ago.
Comments are, as always, eagerly solicited.
