Album Description:
After the day shots I came back after work, in the middle of the night. I did it 6 days in a row, and still have a lot to learn about flash photography especially by close-ups. There are a lot of spot lights, but they gave the white flower a green shade

Galit I can only imagine your excitement as you viewed each new visions captured with your eyes and camera. The excitement as you viewed each new surprise, and knowing you could go back over and over again to revisit it's splendor and beauty. I loved the beautiful greens of tender and fragile new growth. Almost like the birth of a magnificent beauty. I hope you did not wear you bunny slippers to get those gourgues night shots. Although I can almost see you doing that or hanging from some Tarzan rope just to get a shot. The visualizations are endless. Great album. Baby Tony is growing fast. Hugs my friend, Maxine

Hi Galit, I noticed that this album was created on my birthday... Thanks for your very kind words in my Soundscapes album. That's a beautiful exhibition and unfortunately I could share the views but not the sounds. I myself am very happy with the night shots, considering that I did not use a tripod. Thanks again for the birthday wishes. Take care, (old) Yair.

What beautiful night shots! What a wonderful compliment by nmaltin below! I wanted to invite you to my hubcap album since you were the one who suggested I should do a whole album but did not have your e-mail address. So, I invited you to go to bcharpen8 to check it out. I can't remember what album had the car you talk to in it but I thought I could dedicate the right model hubcap that mathes it to you! You might also like the Odds n Ends album (grass head) photo just for fun! Nancy

Woulod you kindly contact me via e-mail at nmaltin@splllp.com to discuss the details. I have looked everywhere to come up with another photo I love as much....but your is in my heart and would be perfect for our little company.

Thank you for the beautiful photographs...can't wait to finally connect with you. Nancy Maltin

Ein bischen verspätet unsere herzliche Gratulation zum "featured&qu ot; - das ist nun wirklich etwas "Neues" , weit weg von den üblichen wenn auch schönen Blumenalben.Nachtbilder, die eben flash-abhängig sind, stellen oft grosse Probleme - aber im vorliegenden Album sind sie fabelhaft gemeistert! - Vielen Dank auch für Ihre lieben Zeilen in unsere "Trains...&q uot; und "Brittany Coast..."-Alben!

Hallo Galit, a lot of nightwork brought you this well deserved 'featurization'. I think the green colour you complain about is more due to the specification of the chip in your camera, or the white balance you chose. Perhaps you should experiment a bit with that or with filters like UV, skylight or even polarization. Have a nice day! Sante in Holland.

Hi Galit:) Firstly!! WOW this album is just amazing!! I guess that email was a little long, but I did laugh when I view yours.....when would be running in second place!! The Cactus albums are just wonderful Galit, and the tomato like fruits, that transform into the most beautiful of flowers at night, is just a living spectacle!!....Your photos are just absolutely stunning and I am soo glad that you ventured out at night and got these great photos, as they are just wonderful!! I don't mind the green at all, as that is definitely my favorite color and adds such a wonderful contract to the photos!! Re the 'vision', it is not a very good photograph and funnily, it seems to be the painting that of late is commented on??!! Might just have to get out the spraycans again...up the back yard and have the tons of fun I have each time I do that!! There is never enough time in the day to do all the things that one wants to,,...which is good I guess! That is fabulous that your dad left his 'legacy' for trees with you, within!!....that wonderful reminder of his gift of passion for trees and such a great wisdom regarding all!! You were and are truly blessed, and you intrigue with the growth of such beauty is right there.....in this captured beauty of the Cactus and its amazing transformation into extreme beauty!! I am soo glad that you saw the funny side of my tree album, as I know that without a sense of humor, the world and its people would become a very dry and arid place!! I am all for song and laughter...love and joy..... and peace!! How interesting that you grew up in Germany Galit, and then moved to Israel, One could say in this beautiful world, that no matter where one goes, there are always new trees to discover, places to visit, awesome scenery, and people to meet and share one's exciting journey with!! Thank you soo much for sharing some of your beautiful journey with me, it was an absolute joy!! Have a really great day.....Em from Aussie

Hallo Galit, I am honoured to be the first to write in this lovely nsw album, and honoured to have received a mention in it. Galit dear, you can borrow my ladder any time, I'll send it to you on my magic carpet! :-) This is such a lovely cactus, isn't it? And you have really done it proud. For me, the lighting is perfect, and I really like the way it tints the flowers green in some of the shots. Your photography is getting better with every new album. You really do have that special 'eye' of an artist. Thankyou so much for sharing these special precious moments with us, especially as it probably meant that you were late getting to bed after your night-shift. I send you warmest greetings dear friend. Sheila.
