I'll definitely keep that in mind, though I'm sure they both have busy
lives and it'll take some pre-planning to pull it off.
But, yes -- it would be fun to be shepherded around the city and capture
the scene without worrying about stumbling into the wrong place or
getting lost.

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

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.
