    Stunning!! How did you accomplish this? Surely these aren’t phone pics… And the black background — is that post-processing, or what?

    K ~ I used my regular camera – the black background is in the image, acheived via light falloff with the morning light…

    These would make an absolutely stunning series of prints to decorate my home with…

    I don’t think I’ve ever commented, but I’ve been reading for a while, and your posts always bring light into my day. Thank you.

    Interesting. I’ve never seen wildflower close-ups in sepia-tone before. Unusual, but I think I’d have preferred black & white or color.

    My breath caught in my throat when these loaded on my RSS feeder – gorgeous. Is it possible to order prints when you get back from the wilderness?

    Beautiful! Superb composition; they’d make excellent prints. =) Sometimes your photos remind me of Beth Moon, one of my favorite photographers: http://bethmoon.com/

    Daily Coyote is my home page. Whenever I fire up the ol’ computer for whatever business I have that day, I start it off with the sweet, simple, joyous, glorious reminder of all that is good in the world. Thank you.

    Who do you get your pictures printed through? I’ve been searching for a place to print mine other than the usual avenues (like Snapfish and whatnot). I’d love to be able to sell some of my own photography (someday), but obviously it would be a sin to do so on sub-par paper.

    Kate ~ ALWAYS a custom print shop. If you live in/near a city there will be a print shop or two that caters to professional photographers. Go there.

    You sound like me Patr and I crack myself up sometimes too. Nice of Shreve to provide us with a sound board.

    Glad those super pictures were taken with your ‘real’ camera Shreve, was thinking I might have to get a cell phone otherwise. What a relief!!

    Shreve:

    My husband is an avid black and white photographer and we both love these prints. What would you charge us to email us the high res files – he has the equipment to do archival prints.

    I can promise they would only be used for our wall and we would not sell or pass along to anyone else.

    If you prefer to wait, we perfectly understand and will sit back patiently for you to sell them through your shop.

    Thanks,
    Sandy

    S ~ I can’t email high res from here!

    I thought that might be a problem! Happy to wait!

    I have to smile at all the messages wanting prints ! You are going to be sooo busy with just the prints when you get back down off the mountain…isn’t it fabulous to be in demand?
    please email if you need anything sent to you…be careful, alert and have fun!

    I think you caught a glimpse of the crown of the fairy queen in that third shot there! Thanks for sharing your magical view of the world with us, Shreve, today and always.

    These are some of my favorite pictures you’ve ever posted, especially the second one. Just wonderful!!

    Hi, Shreve – These pictures are so beautiful. I’ve been practicing shots using window light (and read your tutorial from last year). Would you be willing to share what camera settings you used and how far away the flowers were from the window? I can’t seem to get my backgrounds to be completely black from the light falloff.

    On a completely different subject, I just returned from my first trip to Wyoming (Jackson and Yellowstone) and completely felt the rapture many experience in that rugged, wild, and breathtakingly beautiful land you call home!
