Glad you took the time to sort through the photos you’ve been taking. Such incredible locations, captivating subjects, and interesting variety. I can’t get over how neat that photo of the rough grouse is!

From looking at the photos, I would never have guessed you were low on honey, Henry @samuelwest.

Those are some amazing closeups, @loewfam!

You’re really controlling the light well there, @william-fallow72gmail-com

I really enjoyed seeing these previews and can’t wait to dive deeper into…Read more

@loewfam I’m not sure what VR is, so I don’t know if my equipment has it. I use an EOS Rebel T7 with a 18-55 mm lens and a 75-300 mm lens. Typically, when I try to use a lower shutter speed than 1/500, I end up with a blurry picture. I would love some articles if you have any links! I also just need to go out…Read more

Ok, so the book has a very broad variety of recipes, so anything would be fine, just don’t make it so specific that people think “that looks yum, where’s the recipe?”.
No, there aren’t any schemes in the book. What I am planning on calling the book will be something like “Homeschoolers’ recipe book”.
And yes, it…Read more

So many incredible places and creative ideas! It’s amazing how morning-like all these photos are. And they are all the more impressive when I think that they required getting up so early to take.

I really like your sixth submission; the flowers in it are so cool! And thanks for the information about the verses @lenspirationlydia. I thought of some verses for my pictures:
#1: 2 Corinthians 12:9- “My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness.”
#2: Isaiah 6:3- “Holy, holy,…Read more

I’ll be checking them out.

I’m attaching the pdf. We don’t have it all finished with the design. It’s sized to print on legal paper. When we set the printer to “fit” it doesn’t cut anything off. (I just thought of this, could that be were we’re getting the compression…Read more
