Same here! How's winter in Japan? Is it still snowing? We have had snow this week. But not very much.

It has just been cold recently. It should be warming up here soon because sakura (the cherry blossoms) are due to bloom mid March.

Depends on the schedule while they are blooming, but I am most certain that we will make a day of it.

Thank you, Cherlyn.

JPEG. I haven't made the switch to RAW yet since I am so new to this. I hear you are making the conversion. How's it going?

CMSTX83 In reply to 4Clarice [2006-03-03 09:15:26 +0000 UTC]

It is going quite slowly. I do not even know where to begin when it comes to post-processing. What programs to use? What changes to be made? Sigh.

We currently use Photoshop Elements and CS. Here's a link for a photoshop book on Amazon. [link] d_bbs_b_2_2/102-7059939-7740135?s=books&v=glance&n=283155 Scott Kelby, the author, is a pretty good writer. He is the Editor of the Photoshop User Magazine.

Good luck!

This link did not work... do you know the title of the book? Looks like he authored a lot of them!

4Clarice In reply to CMSTX83 [2006-04-18 07:02:13 +0000 UTC]

Nope, I don't remember which book the link was for. I don't know what was up with my links. I wasn't able to get any of them working that day.

I would suggest looking up the author and picking a book that you have to software for. (PS Elements or CS)

He wrote like 8 books on CS2. Not a problem; I will research the matter thoroughly.

Great bokeh too! Was this the 75-300 or the 28-105?

It is a good one, I think a little bit of colour this time of winter is almost essential

How's the weather doing over there? Do you guys still have some of the snow from that big snowfall?

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

4Clarice In reply to Frejyasdaeg [2006-03-06 22:59:22 +0000 UTC]

It's been rainy and cold one day and warm the next. The snowfall we had back in January has since all melted. We have had a few flurries since then, but nothing that has covered the ground. Still trying to figure out if we will have one more snowfall since it snow this time last year. But I think that it is probaby too warm.

How's the weather where you are?

It is here too, it's been 65-75 degrees for the past week, I heard a sparrow singing outside my window this morning. I think spring is here soon this year.

Kind of a funny story about birds. My cell phone ringer is set on Bush Warbler. Listen to this, [link]

Anyway, one early spring morning, I thought my cell phone was ringing when it was the actually bird outside singing. It was like 5A.M. I felt so stupid that I thought it was my cellphone. I didn't realize that the ring tone was an actually bird upon selection so it completely surprised me to find that the bird was outside my window.

Okay, anyway. Now, I probably sound really stupid. It was funnier in person.

Frejyasdaeg In reply to 4Clarice [2006-03-09 17:55:14 +0000 UTC]

That is funny, I think we all have stories like that. That ringtone sounds very convincing, it's just like the real thing.

Just a few more weeks and the sakura (cherry blossoms) are in bloom. Day long parties with friends and family under the sakura. Fun stuff.

Tulips bloom in April. It will come soon enough, I guess. But, I can't wait.

Yes, ready for spring. Although, I have been forgetting to water the plants I had over the winter so I they are died. Shame on me.

Maybe my tulips will bloom next month. I think that I have about 20 bulbs planted.

I love tulips, I'm sure they'll be beautiful!
I look forward to those pictures too!

No, you are not the only one.

Wow! My sentence was some what coherent. Must be the lack of sleep. Sorry!

I posted 3 from last year. That was my first attempt at tulips. It's kind of sad though because you have to wait all winter long for them to bloom. When they finally do, you are lucky if they last two weeks. It sure is sweet when they do bloom.

It's okay...I understood

I'll check out your gallery again, it's been awhile since I did...I had forgotten.

It is sad, but they're so perfect looking when they do bloom!
I look forward to the cherry blossoms too!! I love Cherry trees, so I hope you take lots of pictures at the parties!
