Nice album! The images of the the different architecture is very well done. You have captured their magnificence. I have a new community album called WebShooters. Do you have a self portrait I may display there? It doesn't have to be straight on head shot.. you could be creative. But show alittle of your self!!! I am finding that photographers are very shy. But I always find it a treat to see the person behing the camera. Let me know if you have a self portrait!! take care. eti

HI Ale, First of all let me thank you for pointing out that Aruba and Barbados are not in the UK. When I next edit this album I will take them out, I got a little carried away with the humour and totaly for got what it was all about, both of them were later add ons. Thanks again for pointing it out. I really am grateful. You certainly get about this planet of our, I will come back and visit your albums in more detail later when I have a bit more time, thanks again for your kind words Ken

Ciao Ale, se volevi commuovermi, ci sei riuscito in pieno! … e, sai, la mia prof. non ha mai commentato nessun tema con parole così belle e toccanti come quelle che hai usato nel tuo commento sull’album di Sant’Antioco (…era più il tipo da :“Passabile, 3- !!!“ :0( ) Dietro la forza e la bellezza delle tue immagini non poteva che nascondersi un sensibile animo da poeta. Tu dici di non ritenerti un fotografo … tanto meno allora lo sono io! Con la tecnica mi arrampico sugli specchi tante di quelle volte… …!!! … ma credo di avere un cuore a forma di macchina fotografica, perché non riesco a smettere di osservare ogni cosa del mio mondo attraverso il mirino della fotocamera e provar gioia per ognuno di quei frammenti di bellezza che riesco a catturare! Allora mi chiedo: “Cosa vuol dire “essere” un fotografo?” e mi tornano alla mente le parole che mi disse, tanti anni fa, un grande chitarrista venezuelano, il M°Alirio Diaz …”Il musicista non è quello che con la forza della sua volontà si costringe a sedersi e studiare per 13 ore al giorno, ma è quello che si costringe ad alzarsi da quella sedia e smettere di studiare almeno per qualche ora, perché la sua musica è la sua cristallina acqua di fonte, il suo cibo celestiale, la sorgente inesauribile della sua gioia e essenza stessa della sua vita”… Allora, Ale, io credo che tu ed io “siamo” fotografi, perché è una passione sincera quella che ci spinge a cercare di cristallizzare in un brevissimo istante la magia di un momento unico, irripetibile, assoluto e tanto effimero che, altrimenti, il ricordo non potrebbe trattenerlo e non riusciamo a far a meno di provare a raccontare qualche pagina della nostra vita attraverso piccoli dettagli che colpiscono i nostri occhi ed il nostro cuore, con una sequenza di minuscoli magici “clic”! Un bacio, dunque, ad un grande fotografo e poeta! Simona ( blunotte@freemail.it )

Hello Ale, thx for your comments in my Flowers Part two, I was sure you'd like it better. Because the first Flower album is partly made with my film cameras which needs adjustments now and it's too expensive. I prefered to buy a new digital camera with all the ease of use that it provides. Why I used White Balance : Cloudy is only because the day was cloudy otherwise I use sunshine or auto. And the reason for the change of ISO is that it is set to automatic. I let the camera choose it. But I find it interesting to see each photos adjusments and the results. And I'm glad you appreciate it. I didn't put up the captions with the others but I'm thinking of doing it more often. This is a beautiful album of yours. You have many winners like the pic #21 for example. I love your work, you are very talented. And your comments for my work is very much appreciated. Have a great day and if you have more questions, please feel free to ask. Best regards, Yan/tawa

Hi, thanks for signing my guestbook ... I'm glad you liked my birds ... You said you liked 8 and 10, they were the fairy wrens, they were hard to shoot because they never stood still long enough to focus and get a good light reading (it was a lot of luck ;-)) .... you have some awesome photos, I loved them and it looks like you have been to australia as well, I hope you enjoyed your trip here ... michael
