The Beauty of Nature
Uploaded: July 10, 2005
We had a huge downpour on July 8, then right after it stopped raining the sun was shining so bright, all the raindrops were sparkling. It was so beautiful, I had to go out and shoot. This one is not one of my personal favorites, I don't like how the leaves are shadowed (from my camera, I was trying to get in real close and ended up blocking the sun) and the large area of darkness at the bottom of the photo. I am posting this one, though, because my husband said he liked it the best.

BetterPhoto Websites: If you see an orange website link directly under the photographer's name, it's totally okay. It's not spam. The reason: BetterPhoto is the one that offers these personal photography websites. We are supporting our clients with those links.
Unavailable EXIF: If there is no other information but 'Unavailable' in the EXIF (meaning no EXIF data exists with the photo), the 'Unavailable' blurb is not displayed. If there is any info, it shows. Many photos have the EXIF stripped out when people modify the image and resave it, before uploading.
The following truth is one of the core philosophies of BetterPhoto:
