Congrats to all, very nice collection of work in this group.  Mahalo to the staff again for the hard work at putting this up each and every week.  

Happy Thanksgiving to all that celebrate around the world~

Always a privilege to be included in this gallery.  Nice to see everyones work this week. Aloha to Meisiekind and the staff for all the hard work they have done putting this feature together for this site.  Congrats all~

Much Aloha to the staff who gave me  the nod this week and all my friends here on Rendo!  Aloha to all~

I chimp alot. Especially if you want the shot correct.  Sometimes I am guilty of putting the camera away without checking the settings and have taken crap shots at another shoot because I didn't chimp.  Chimping gives me more options...of course when I get the correct shot I go apeing.

Much Aloha to Mods and staff who work so tirelessly on putting up this feature week after week. I'm sure it's a tough job to pick through the hundreds of images and narrow it down to a few choice picks.  Thanks again for the nod, and I for one appreciate all your efforts.

Big Mahalo's,
Dave~

Many thanks for selecting one of my images this past week.  It's always a pleasure to post here with so many talented photogs!  Always amazing work chosen each week...thanks to the hard working staff~ Aloha~

My posts normally reflect what I cannot convey to others in any other medium.  Face it, most of us who have the passion go out alone on shoots allot.  Bringing back images are my way of sharing the things that excite me, or or just plain make me relive the day and enjoy it one more time.

A normal shoot will yield 300-400 shots. Then it's dwindled to about 20, then 1 or 2 of them will get posted. I find I am quite picky about what is kept and what is flushed...(my recycle bin has toilet bowl flushing sound when I empty it.)  I find that the ones that best capture my mood for that particular day get posted.  It may not be the best image in the bunch, but if I can look at it and enjoy the sensation of seeing it again for the first time....that's what I'm after.

I've been on this site too long to worry about comments.  Although they are nice to have and I do appreciate them, it is not the ultimate goal for me. The passion for photography is what I care about.....Post what you have a passion for and it will show in your images.  This site is about your passion for expression and sharing what's in you.  How you perceive that comes through on your images.  Post your passion....

Aloha~

Thanks for the nod in this gallery.  Always a pleasure to see what great shots come out this community...I bet it was a tough choice, but you got some real winners in the bunch.

Aloha~

I've been an admire of Toms work for a long time.  He's the one that made me give it a go.  I must say it's not as easy as it looks, and can be brutal on your shutter.  But it's worth it I think if you can get results like this.  He really does put his time in on this....some of his other vids are just as awesome. Thanks for posting the link here! Aloha~

Now that's damn funny...All I know is I love my Canon lens...solid, sharp, and very well built.

Ahhhh! It's about time Joanna...you have been a favorite artist  of mine for a long time...Congrats to you and enjoy your month in the spot light! Aloha~
