Today we have a guest photographer, Celeste, a student at the Centro Escolar Margarita Durán.
I had my camera out and she asked if she could use it. For me, that’s a bit like loaning out my right lung. But Joaquin assured me that she had taken a photo class sponsored by the city. I handed over my camera and she made a first shot of this flower. It had potential. I showed her aperture priority, how to dial down the f-stop, and increase the zoom to blur the background. The result, I thought, was pretty good. And so I thank Celeste for her contribution.
Nice shot ❤
Ciao
Sid
Thank you so much. Cheers!
Right lung! hahahaha To me it’s like handing over my newborn baby. Bonito flor.
Ha! Right lung! “Whatta you want to use it for??!” I am so bad about loaning things out. She did quite well, though.
That she did. Thank you, Lois…Cheers!
Lovely……………….. ❤
I’ll let her know.. Thank you, Nancy Cheers!
Beautiful flower, beautiful photo 🙂
It is great making new friends, Christopher 😀
Cheers!
I have many new friends, Monica. People here are very friendly to a foreigner. The girls want to know how to say their names in English. People all over ask where I am from. A few people know English and like to practice with me. Cheers 😊
That´s so sweet of you, Chris! Tell Celeste it´s a great shot of a beautiful flower! 🙂
I will let her know. I may try to print out the comments about her photo. Or show her on the computer. Internet is not so easy here.
I´m sure she would love that!! I can only imagine that Internet is not as easy there as it is in the wester hemisphere, but you can be glad that there is Internet at all! 😉 Have a wonderful weekend, Chris!! 🙂
Thank you Sarah. I am working on a response to your nice email. Not enough hours in the day. I got postcards today. Can you send me your address please.
Woo-Hoo! Can´t wait to read!! 🙂
You are a generous soul! She did a good job with this very delicate flower at an unusual angle. Bravo!
She did a nice job. The class she took was through through the mayor’s office. We don’t know if she has access to a real camera or even has a phone that takes photos. But she has a good eye..that is for sure.
Sounds like you are getting acclimated and having some fun ! BTW can I borrow your lawn mower while you are gone ? ; )
Help yourself….It’s in the barn. Take the newer one, please because my wife likes the old one. It’s fun here…challenging but fun.
Beautiful image!
Thank you so much. Cheers!
Bravo Celeste – this is lovely …. really I want to reach out and pluck that flower and wear it in my hair for a day.
Thank you, Osyth. I will let her know on Monday. Cheers
I have this same tall shrub/low tree in my yard. It is called a Sweet Memory. A lovely plant that blooms year ’round in Los Angeles, and has golden berries which the birds love.
She did a good job!!! And you did a better job, letting her give it a try!!!
Thank you MK. I have a file with all of the nice comments that I can let her see what people said. Cheers!
