The arch at sunset
Uploaded: March 25, 2005
This was shot last summer, with my Canon EOS3, at sunset. I am not digital yet. I did throw it into photoshop, and try to sharpen it,for submitting, and warm up some of the color.

Hi Nancy! I finally found your pic! I don't see anything blurry about it... Other than it being a night shot and I know not to expect super sharpness under those conditions. Try looking at it on a different computer... It might just be yours... :-) #229201Lori Carlson March 31, 2005

Great dark mood and glow! Beautifully composed and done, can't wait to see more of your work? #1696690Nancy Donnell August 09, 2005
Hello Kirsi,Thank you for the kind words. I just got a digital camera yesterday, and hope to find some spare time to get some work loaded on this site. It was so hard figuring it out initially, I just let it go. Maybe the second time around is easier. :-) #1698383

Thank you Sandra! #2016083Chris Ebben January 02, 2006
I like this a lot, where is it? How are you going with your digital camera?=^..^= #2245383Nancy Donnell January 02, 2006
Hi Chris`` Thank you! The shot is of the arch, a landmark in St. Louis, Missouri, which is in the central part of the U.S. I only recently have been playing with my new digital. (Shame on me, I know..LOL) I have signed up to take a class that starts in Jan. I have about 400 pictures on my desktop, and I don't really know how to organize them, and now editing seems overwhelming. Hoping the class will help. I was a slide shooter before. I see you are from Australia. I love your country. We were there about 6 years ago. #2245745Daniel Diaz January 15, 2006
Terrific night shot of the city Nancy, looking forward to more pics from you!! #2290614Nancy Donnell January 15, 2006
Thanks, Daniel! I have such good intentions of getting more up, and never get around to it. I had so much trouble figuring it out, I shyed away from it. I know it really wasn't that hard. Just so much to read when you are new at BP. Wow- went to your site. I am crazy for your insect shots. Amazing! I would love to email you sometime and ask about lenses used.Steven Gunnerson January 20, 2006

Hi Linda! I just bought a new external hard drive just for my photography! I have to find a way to get organized. I have a photo I did around 2000 that reminds me of your shot called Matches, although my colors and distance are different. When I get it up I will try to email you. Thanks for the encouragement! #4236798Barbara Waldoch August 02, 2007

Hi Barbara,Steven E. Ray January 01, 2008

I am so sorry Nancy. You are right, I looked up and echoed Howard's comment. I am behind on comments and leaving over 50 today, names become a blur when doing that. Teaches me to pay better attention. Have a super New Year "Nancy"! #5277150Nancy Donnell January 01, 2008
