This is lovely, Astrid. What is the blue background?
Picturit: The blue sky, the pine cone was above my head, we had a perfect day.
Astrid.
Looks like a pine cone from my back yard!
Picturit: Than you are very lucky, thanks for visiting,
Astrid.
Pine cones are very photogenic, as your picture shows, Astrid.
Picturit: Thank you for your kind words Ray, I love pine cones.
Astrid.
I love that we both are talking about the sun today, Astrid. Back then, when the sun came out it was a big deal! As Ray has said, pine cones really ARE photogenic and here you have done them proud. I love your crop!
Picturit: We both love the sun, today will be sunny again...I will be out...thank you for your kind words, sometimes it is good to show the simple beauty of objects surounding us.
Astrid.
simle et beau, l'esentiel est là
Picturit: Thank you, the simple things are sometimes the best to capture, I am pleased you like it.
Astrid.
Are yes, a delightful photograph of a pine cone, unless I am very much mistaken, Astrid. Good focus and i like the dimensions of this. There I told you that I would soon be over and thrilled to see your photograph. This is pre-breakfast and I am looking forward to porridge made with jumbo oats, grapes, strawberries, honey, natural yoghurt, cranberries and blueberries. Coffee of course. Would you care for some?
Picturit: Hi, Chad, you said you would rush over, my, you are getting fast these days and yes, you are not mistaken, THIS is a pine cone, thank you for your kind words.
Please can you make that two helpings for breakfast, that sounds just delicious and nutricious too, at 10A I will have my tennis exercise and I can use a boost, coffee with cream no sugar please. The sun is out here, so shorts and t-shirt will do today... Astrid.
I almost enjoy your conversations with chad as much as the pictures
Picturit: You are right about the cropping of the right side, I gues I was to much 'focussed' on that tree in the back at the right side, thank you for your advise, Chad and I do have some nice conversations, it is nice to start the day with some pleasant talks
Astrid.
Oh! Astrid! I like much this detail. In addition the blue color to the bottom adds much contrast to him. It is to me very pretty!
Picturit: Your words make me very happy José-Angel, I am so pleased you like it,
Astrid.
A fine closeup Astrid
Picturit: Thank yo Chris, glad you like it,
Astrid.
I love the way pine cones open and close, depending on the weather. We have a huge Douglas Fir in our garden, and in the summer, on very hot days, the pine cones open with a `crack` like gunshot. Gorgeous photograph, by the way. (:o)
Picturit: Roz, I have heard that 'cracking' of a pine cone in the south of France, where the real big pine cones are, it is indeed as a gunshot, I am pleased you like this picture.
Astrid.
That blue is gorgeous
Picturit: It was a very nice warm cloudless day,
Astrid.
Lovely capture Astrid. It's been ages since I saw a pine cone.
Picturit: It is for us a real treat too, when we walk through the woods.
Astrid.
Nice photo, good contrast and nice use of DoF!
Picturit: Thank you Robbie, I am pleased you like it.
Astrid.
Do you know that I love pine cones and sometimes I collect them! Wondermooi dat ze altijd leven, soms geopend soms gesloten, zelfs na jaren als ze naar beneden gevallen op de bodem liggen. Bijzonder prachtig is de blauwe achtergrond, een vleugje van zuidelijke hemel!
Picturit: Philine en dan te bedenken dat dit gewoon Nederland is, maar men moet het wel zien, ik kijk altijd om me heen, ik heb zelfs zaden uit een sparrenboom uit Zuid-Frankrijk bij mij in de tuin gezet en de boom is aan het groeien, ondanks de kou en de wind....
Astrid.
very good DOF, I also like the light that falls on it.
Picturit: Thank you for your kind words.
Astrid.
I like this very much, it's such an unusual perspective and composition. It reminds me of yesterday's picture, even though a different subject entirely. You do manage these things very well.
Picturit: Ruth, your words do mean a lot to me, for you do have a great camera eye, yourself, thank you so much, I am pleased you like it.
Astrid.
Astrid I love walking through the woods and smelling the fragrance from pine trees and the cones.
This is a truely atmospheric shot and I can visualise you taking this shot. Nature at it's best
Picturit: Tracy, you make me blush, thank you for your kind words, mijn vriend, I love the woods and always 'hunting' for objects to capture, thank you so much
Astrid.
great colour Astrid When the cones fall the are very good for starting a fire
Picturit: And they make the fire and smoke smell nice....thank you Vintage for your kind words.
Astrid.
How we all enjoy a few minutes in the sun.
I still think that its an alien life form ...
Picturit: Bo, we had two days sun in a row...I still don't know what hit us...
Astrid.
Fascinating structure to these cones when they open... Lovely sharp image where it counts. richard
Picturit: Pine cones are fascinating, they are alive, they have anice color, thank you for your kind compliment.
Astrid.
Beautiful composition Astrid. Great lighting and details here!
Picturit: Thank you, pine cones are nice objects to capture.
Astrid.
Oh yes, that beautiful sun, soon the sun will shine bright and warm up here as well
Picturit: I am sure Magnus, we had sun two days in a row.....
Astrid.
Wow - I love the colors of blue.. Worlds away as it seems yet so close to what it is like here in BC...
Sounds like a very cool island to visit!
Picturit: It is a very nice island to visit, but I have been in BC, I love the forests down there very much!!!
Astrid.
Liking the slightly desaturated colours here
Picturit: Thank you for your kind words, I am pleased you like it
Astrid.
an island with pine cones off the coast of the Netherlands lol, you got your bearings right Astrid......only kidding..great shot and have a nice day
Picturit: I know Tim
Astrid.
Lovely detail in this, Astrid. The blue sky provides a good backdrop.
Picturit: Thank you , just lucky that the sky was seen through the trees.
Astrid.
Beautiful shot here Astrid. Well done.
Picturit: Thank you Noa, for your kind words.
Astrid.
I like the way the pine cone stands out against the blue sky Astrid. Your good at this sort of shot aren't you.
You really make me jealous of your new camera!
