Hello, and Welcome to our newest subscribers! Here in Ontario, Canada, the spring season has been absolutely divine. Sometimes we get a year where spring is too rainy, or too dry; but usually it's just extremely short and it's almost like we went from snow right into wearing shorts. This year, however, we're being treated to several weeks of mild weather and gorgeous sunshine, with the reward of long-lasting flowers and open windows. Thanks to this inspiring season, I've just published my latest article on getting your best spring photographs: *** Getting the Perfect Spring Photograph Spring has sprung! It's time to grab your favourite camera, and get outside into the sunshine to capture the best your backyard has to offer. With all sorts of sunshine to drink in and fresh air to enjoy, your physical health will benefit along with your creative side. http://www.bellaonline.com/articles/art37505.asp/zzz Please join us in our open forum and participate in the ongoing discussions about cameras, photography, pictures, and techniques: http://forums.bellaonline.com/postlist.php?Cat=0&Board=228 Thanks for your interest, and as always, please feel free to contact me with your comments and feedback.
