Elise, please take your camera everywhere you go, even if it is only to the market to buy vegetables. There will be many days when you see something so remarkable and out of the ordinary that you will think, "Oh - I should have had my camera."

I know this because it has happened to me so often.

I like the strength of this photo and the colour. I have difficulty with this type of photo. Yours is just great.

Amities a la belle France, Amelia

Elise's answer "Thanks for comment, Amelia, I'm very glad that you appreciated my view. More emotion than expected pass through images. This picture was taken with an argentic Minolta reflex (R.I.P.) I didn't choose the colours printed on the paper... Glory is for the development technician ! My eye was on the right place on the good time. Greetings Elise"

Lovely to hear from you Elise via Annick. I hope I haven't taken too much of your time away from Facebook. :)

The glory must go to the photographer as well; the technician who processes the image can only do so much with the raw material.

Are you enjoying your D40?

Greetings, Amelia

To Amelia from Elise

"I'm just discovering my D40. I'm just not as fameliar with it than I'm with my Facebook profile. But I don't think that I'm mononeuronal with Facebook. And I don't even think that I don't care about your comments. The point is just that I've too much to cope with my everyday life which is not so buzy, but enough to make me loose my mind. I love photography but not enough to dedicate my life to it, unless I've got an approval that comes from you and from my parents. Greetings Elise"
