awesome shots as always. Your shots inspire me, of course you already know that.
Andrea, hands down, your sky shots are the best. Say kiasu.
The first shot is incredible! I wish to learn how to capture that shot. Do you charge?
I used a spring, think you can figure out how?
Gorgeous!!! Love the blue effect, stunning! Sorry its been a while since I’ve stopped by, been missing your arty garden blog eye-candy here. Cheers Julia
Thank you so much Julia. Glad you are back!!!!
What incredible pictures…that dandelion is a winner…the fools who have never awarded your pics on GGW…I would love to know about the blue effect too…
Donna, the blue effect was an increase in vibrancy and saturation. The original image was grayish blue. I just amped up the saturation. It was taken in evening lighting, hence the blue in the image.
Wonderful, keep it up thanks.
You should enter the dandelion unless you are just ‘done’ – I think it captures the topic completely!
Hi Cat, I was not the one ‘done’; that was another commenter, a previous post. I do not care about winning, just entering. I like seeing who visits my images and if they comment on them. I enter just to get the feedback. But, alas, my images have not been in the group the judges talk about, but I have been getting some helpful comments from readers. I figured I would start my own thing on photography with the tips about how to edit or turn an image into a art piece. They are all quick changes that can be further enhanced to make a wonderful image, far better than I can take straight from the camera, with only one quick manipulation. My dandelion was a set up shot (outside of course). I picked and “staked” the poor guy to get the sky as a backdrop. The natural lighting was in the evening. I think this is too highly edited to enter, but I will see with what is coming with the other entries. The shot I would love to take, no matter how cliche, is the Falls at night. They light the Falls in rotating colors and I could get a great long exposure shot. I may do it sometime just for kicks.
Would love to see Niagara at night…not sure about ggw. thanks for posting as I know you’re busy.
So beautiful, and your blue dandelion made me smile!
Love your dandelion… dressed in Summer Blues.
Super shots! I too love the dandelion. I am looking forward to your night time Falls shots!
I took photos without tripod too but it comes out excellent just this one. Thanks for sharing!

I am not blue after seeing these photos! Love the time lapse effect. Hard to believe nature is this fleeting!
Have yourself a GREAT Skywatch Friday.

I love the movement of the clouds in the 3rd picture. And who knew a dandelion could be so pretty!
Beautiful!
