The Rose Garden is beginning to bloom at the Botanical Gardens and currently is at about 20% with the peak blooms expected in 7-10 days. Here are some shots from today. http://photography.robertondrovic.com/gallery/573707/1/23999644
Climberao said:I think you should give up that legal bull&%$# and just have gallery showings in Soho I know that you are waiting to collect those huge fees from Roger and Tony's wives for their settlements and once you fleece the guys of all of their hard earned $$ you can retire and take photos for the rest of your life :biggrin:
TonyD said:Now that I am packed for my trip to India, today may be my last opportunity to see the few bloomed roses at the gardens in NY. A trip to the Bronx may be only hours away...
RSO 34 said::biggrin: Tony is safe because Bags probably would kill me long before I could get my hands on his cash.
RSO 34 said:Today is going to be a hot one but even with only around 20% in bloom right now it is worth the trip. Just make sure you post photos from the India trip when you get back.
TonyD said:With regard to India pictures, I will post what I get permission from Bags to release to the public :smile:
Bob, Nikon never came through on completing the repair of my 17-55mm lens, it will be sorely missed while in India:frown:
Climberao said:Tony, I did say that RUSH means put it on a shelf (by the way this is an industry wide standard practice). Sorry :frown: to hear that the lens will not be with you on the trip but I'm sure you will take dynamic pics despite the handicap :biggrin:
Have a great time and tell Bags you're posting pics as soon as you get back so she needs to edit them while you are in India
TonyD said:We shall see what photos I will be able to take. I am ready with my rain coat for the camera:smile: as Bags tells me it has been raining almost daily. June is the begining of the rainy season there. There will be no editing of pics in India - not bringing a laptop with me, just a portable harddrive to offload pics from the CF card.
Climberao said:Take a box of 1 gallon zip lock bags and 10 or more rubber bands. Punch a hole for the front of the lens and rubber band the opening around the lens this will keep the camera protected in the rain. Clean the camera and lens nightly or you run the risk of mold streaks. If you have silica gel packs leave them in one of the bags with the camera each night and dry them when needed. Just advice from someone who used to shoot in bad weather all the time.
Have a great trip. :biggrin:
TonyD said:Here's some fiesty goldfish....
RSO 34 said:They are not feisty, they are just being koi. :wink:
RPM217 said:Tony, I hope that you have a wonderful trip, take lots of practice taking pictures, maybe when you grow up, you can be 1/2 as good as Bob (does that earn me some "brownie" points on my fee??) Beautiful pictures from both of you!! :biggrin: :wink:
thedon67 said:Tony have a safe and enjoyable trip. Give my best (well at least better) to bags. I see your house shots are before the grand vision of Mr Larry.
As far as Mr. RSO's photos, I second Alan's comments.
We should have another photo get together this month. Any thoughts gents?
