I have photographed many day lilies over the years. My favorite is the golden chalice calla lily.

Day lily Brisbane City Botanical Gardens November, 2002. Another image from this shoot is a giclee above my dining room table.

That is gorgeous Michael, love the frog! Nature is so interesting ... finding a shot like that must be akin to finding a rare card!

It is always a pleasure to photograph nature up close. I had just photographed a snowy egret in that park and was walking around. At first I thought it was a leaf until I got closer. I once went to Fiji just to photograph orchids from Raymond Burr's collection in the Garden of the Sleeping Giant.

I’m not sure about vintage, but females collecting modern cards have exploded in recent years.

I would say 3-4% of registrations on here are probably female. Just an educated guess as there are not stats like that on our forum.

Dozens of people spontaneously combust each year. It’s just not widely reported.

No I am not. Many nature photographs will sit for hours to get than one photo. That is their profession. I do no get paid for mine. I have no problem going to natural zoos or botanical gardens to photograph. If you choose the right perspective they can look natural.

I am Bryan, not that you were asking a general question (or were you?). Not in the 'formal' sense, but Mom still is, and Dad was until he passed in March (he had an eye for the hawk varieties) ... so I sort of absorbed some of it growing up...

and since we're Open Kimono on Chief's, here's mine...

In the photography world we have our own word for that - cropped, and yes it is.

Thank you. That is very kind. I have a lot of concert photos (and 100% in person music autographs) posted in a thread on the memorabilia side: OT - Of interest to metalheads only (and Kingston Trio fans). They are on the last 2 or 3 pages.
