Toshi    {K:12024} 8/16/2006
Hi Phillip, Looks like you've got this Glass project down packed - awards keeping coming and to no surprise. Wonderful display of colors and curves and I can almost feel the smoothness. Great work Phillip!


Phillip  Minnis    {K:13395} 8/16/2006
Oh, Toshi, thank you very much! I really appreciate your comments.

People probably think that I spend a lot of time taking these shots. I don't. My wife's parents are away at the moment, so we have been going out to water their garden every few days. This afternoon, we were at their place for about 30 minutes. While my wife watered the plants, I raided the mother-in-law's china cabinet (for the second time in a week):)) This is the result. :)) I took about 200 shots in the 30-minute period. Now I've got a bit of a stockpile! :))

Once again, thanks for your comments!

Cheers

Phil


Toshi    {K:12024} 8/16/2006
Wow, that's a lot of shots in a short period of time LOL. Usually when I take that many shots, I only get one or two captures I'm happy with. You've managed to produce dozens of beautiful images :) Looking forward to see what else you'll upload in this category.

Take care,
Toshi


Phillip  Minnis    {K:13395} 8/16/2006
Oh, yes, I'm the same.

I've had a quick look through them. I deleted about two thirds of them! :)) Out of the 60 or 70 left, I think there's probably 5 or 6 good ones.

Cheers

Phil


Maurizio Ubaldini   {K:1632} 8/16/2006
Inexhaustible Phil,you are a volcano of ideas, compliments for the BIP ;)

Ciao
Maurizio


Phillip  Minnis    {K:13395} 8/16/2006
Oh, Maurizio, thank you! I don't know about being a volcano of ideas. I just raided my mother-in-law's china cabinet and took this bowl outside into the garden to shoot the image. Believe you me, I was so nervous that I would drop the bowl - it is so heavy! It's a miracle it turned out - I think I was shaking! :)))

Cheers

Phil


Robin Wickenkamp   {K:16434} 8/16/2006
You ARE the king Phil...congratulations, simply brilliant!

James Cook   {K:36728} 8/16/2006
This is good. Well deserving of award. You shoot like me. I go for a two hour walk and fill up a gig card and a half-gig card. So much cheaper than film. Well done. See you around.


Carlen Schmidt   {K:7061} 8/16/2006
All of these outstanding photos you're coming up with makes me feel like you could take any random object and make it beautiful through your pure talent.


Dino Lupani   {K:15101} 8/16/2006
Outstanding, very well deserved award my friend!!
All the best

Petal Wijnen   {K:47835} 8/16/2006
Yessssssssss you've got another one... bowl I mean... LOL!!! Didn't you break anything yet, for you're always taking them outside... holding them up towards the sky or over some bush... ;-DDDD Great colors and distorted view through... well done!!!


Mary Slade   {K:40918} 8/16/2006

Thanks, Robin, for your comments!

I can assure you that I'm no special photographer! :)) I'm just a guy having a bit of fun taking glass photos, which is something I had never captured until this project commenced. Mostly, it's more luck than skill! :))

I love your work Phillip. You make a very good use of what seems so "banal" for most of us!

keep exploring... you'll reach higher levels at every project.

Shirley D. Cross   {K:141840} 8/18/2006
Congratulations, Phillip! And thank you for the sweet comment on my photo A Little Magic. Seems some of our comments got lost while UF was down today.


Phillip  Minnis    {K:13395} 8/18/2006
Oh, thanks, Shirley!

Yes, I lost my last lot of uploads, as well! I spent over an hour commenting, last night. In fact, I was commenting when the site crashed. I guess all of my comments were lost! :(((

Cheers

Phil

PS I'm about to reload my last lot of uploads, that were lost when the site crashed.


Shirley D. Cross   {K:141840} 8/18/2006
That was a most frustrating day, with no UF. Didn't know I was THAT addicted.:)


Phillip  Minnis    {K:13395} 8/18/2006
I was suffering from withdrawal symptoms! I was shaking, sweating and all jittery! :)))))
