Het ziet er zondermeer Super uit.Alsof je hem zo van het scherm kunt plukken. Ik kom gauw eens kijken.

I see that you have already mastered it. I have nothing to complain about - hats off!

PS I use Canon myself - a 40D.

Fabulous and very appropriate for V-Day.

Heel mmooi! Ook die reeks camera's in de side bar. Ik heb nog een oude Leica, volgens mij doet hij het nog, maar ik vergeet meestal die rolletjes te laten ontwikkelen!

Nothing but only this ''beautiful happy face'' of amaryllis could make ones day brighter.

So inspired, so filled my heart with light.

Your 'eye' is so special, Dick. How successful you are to catch the magic rays, bravo!

Sending mini mini thousands of happy red hearts from Istanbul to your house. You and Toos keep open your window and enjoy them:) Happy St Valentine's to you both~

Beautiful Dick. I also love those two old camera's on the side of your blog. Are they still in working condition?

Spring is arriving, in spite of the cold and the snow.

This picture is simply beautiful. You captured so clearly all these small details, perfect colours and shades. Its a tresure to watch.

I really enjoyed having a look at your cameras too. I love the Voigtländer. I also have one, the first one my dad had as a youngster, probably some 50 years old. It doesnt work, but I like to take it out of its box and watch it.

Take care, and let's hope that spring comes soon!

I would say your first shot was perfect. That is absolutely gorgeous!!

Dick said...

Nihal - I will keep the window wide open, thank you.

Monique - The box camera is working but I don't use it.

Leni - Haha, that's the same as I do, watch it sometimes, great technology.

Hey Dick, wow this is very nice, and what Camera is this - Canon, the one on the side? Especially against the blue white sky, I would expect to see the backlight. Excellent. Anna :)

What lovely colors! Nifty capture with your Canon. I purchased a Nikon D60 in January and love it so far. None of my Amaryllis are any where near blossoming yet.
Hugs and blessings,
