| I feel like my monitor has been upgraded to HD!! Honestly Ginnie, your photos are so vibrant I feel like I'm THERE.
Thank you! |
| Beautiful! I've been to Florence a couple of times and love it. Your photos give me a longing to go again.
What kind of filter were you using for some of those shots? |
| Hi Ginnie,
Beautiful pictures! Are you playing with the "Lens Baby"? Mary Lugo |
| Yes, Mary, those "moody" photos were shot using my Lensbaby 2. For those of you who aren't familiar with the LensBaby, it's a "selective focus" SLR camera lens with a uniquely fllexible neck. This enables you to "squish" the lens into various positions, blurring and/or distorting certain areas of your photo. So, unlike a filter, you actively manipulate your image before you hit the shutter. It's pretty neat, but I'm still getting used to it. The lens has various aperture settings and each aperture behaves a bit differently.

| Ginnie- Again your photos are terrific.
Thank you for all the pleasure you give all of us from your wonderful website. Keep it up. E |
| I can almost smell the Arno - lovely shots! Makes me miss Firenze even more. |
| Ginnie - you are one of the lucky ones who has truly found their calling in life. To say your pictures are worth a thousand words is an understatement. While I always enjoy seeing your pictures of the Danes, viewing far away places through your camera lens is always a special treat. Thank you for taking the time to share it with us. |
| Oh how beautifully captured! I love Frienze it is one of my favorite places! I have been there in a long time so thank you for bringing this marvelous city to us! Now, where are those ITalian Danes ?? !!! More shots please !! I remember the deli's -thanks and keep warm !!!!!! |
| "visual feast" is an understatement, Ginnie. These photos are spectacular! |
| I feel as though I have walked the streets of Florence with you, Ginnie! Beautiful! The filter you used on some of the shots gives such an aura of time and space! Amazing pictures...as ALWAYS!!! |
| WOW, what breathtaking photos! You're bringing back memories that I'd not thought of in almost 18 years. THANK YOU!!!!! Sadly, when I was over all my film got erased, so I have nothing to show for my time in Italy.
It looks like you had great weather, and a great time, I'm so happy for you! |
