"Bud"

My "Giant Fushia" is starting to get some buds. I'm looking forward to seeing the blossoms.

For this shot, I incorporated the flower into my sig rather than my sig into the flower.

Brilliant work on the sig, just 10 star effort here Gene.
Hey, I need a mortar and pestle sig incorportating MedicineMan.....

Mickey I was very young.
I remember living in a mansion that had something crazy like 8 bedrooms and the ceilings throughout the 3 story home
were insanely high. I think Sherman spared this city? I remember watching the first footsteps on the Moon while there.
We would do weekends in a cottage in Panacea...long ago memories

...hmmm, let me think about that one.

Thanks for the compliments too.

Hey where is D.Arbogast? Haven't see him post in a while, or I missed it.

OK, hope this shot isn't a repeat, I perused my gallery here and didn't find.
Anyway I call it Charlie Brown's Christmas Tree

Thanks Jarvis!
We're done with splash for a while.....the splash table is now the macro table,
just waiting for the Laowa 25mm macro to arrive. Plus good weather surely is close now?
I don't know...in the upper 20s the other night for Milky Way and today the high was 43F
and another 1.5 inches of rain.
Someone remind me why I live here in the cloud forest!

Dramatic persona !!
Hey I love the 55/1.8. Portraits for sure, landscapes, and as I learned this week
even wide field astro. It is a gem lens for sure.

Here's a quick example sig I made for MedicineMan. When I make my sigs with multiple use features, I save the file as a psd so I can make changes whenever I want. I use a transparent background and all the elements that make up the layers for the sig are contained in a single group folder. That way, I can just open my sig psd, make sure I'm on the sig group folder layer and select "duplicate group" by right clicking on it. Then I duplicate it to my image file that's already open and that places a copy of the sig group on the image. I can move the sig to where I want on my image and even use 'free transform' on the group folder if I want to change it's size, rotate, etc. I can also add a drop shadow to the whole group layer too.

For the example, I used a white morter & pestle so the color can be easily changed if desired. I put one sig on the morter and one on the pestle. Either one can be 'turned off' or 'turned on' as desired. The colors can be changed and of course, the font used as well although that might require some fine tuning of the curved sig.

Anyway, just a thought. If you like it, let me know and I'll make it available for you to download. If you don't care for it, let me know that too and drop me a private message so we can talk about just what you'd like.

Here's the example on your last uploaded drop image. Sorry for the repeat of this image but it's not a bad one to see again.

It's my favorite lens. If I could live in a world where I could only use the 55 1.8 and the 70-200 GM I'd be set.

I'm still swooning over the mortar and pestle Gene did
But Jarvis, think. 35/2.8/55/2.8 and 85/1.8 what prime set up!
Well none of them do me any good most of the time. I'm still rocking the 100-400 with 2.0TC

Gene can you make one with a glass mortar and pestle so I can do a transparent blend into an image, a mortar and pestle like

Interesting. I have not used the 55, but interesting that you like it that much.
