Hubby's Photo Albums Featured on Webshots Homepage Today!!

The photos my husband (dkubiak) took on our May trip to Small Towns in Germany & Austria is the featured album on today's Webshots! I'm busting out at the seams with pride. He's such a good photographer and it's nice that he is recognized in this way. This particular album has received over 30,000 hits on Webshots since it was posted in June!

Very cool, bettyk. Congrats. I'll check out the pictures.

I've had this happen twice, with my albums from Maui and Kauai - what is fun is reading all the guestbook entries from all over the world.

Congratulations to your husband; the photographs are lovely! We'll be visiting some of these towns in November so it was great to see how beautiful they are.

Thanks, everyone! We've decided to go back to Germany next year along with a week in Switzerland based on the success of our trip in May.

We plan to revisit Bad Wimpfen with side trips to Heilbronn and Heidelburg as well as Wertheim near Wurzburg and Gengenbach im Schwarzwald. So, hopefully, there will be more pictures of small towns in Germany next year!

Great pictures!

Clicking on your husband's name took me to several of his albums including Hawaii. If you post it on the USA forum, more people can see it.

Beautiful, Betty. I remember when you posted your trip report and I saw those beautiful pix then. Good refresher on how beautiful Germany and Austria are. Congrats to your hubby. He's quite the photographer.

Hi Betty,

good for him, he certainly deserves the accolade.

I especially liked the 'travels in England and Scotland 2004'

I preferred the 'Maui' trip pictures because there are some pictures of you both. It's nice to be able to put a name to the talent.

How on earth do you decide which pictures to frame?

Thanks so much for your kind words. It's amazing how many people have sent David emails today after seeing his photos on Webshots. He's going to really enjoy reading all the wonderful comments from people all over the world!

I've always kidded him about being so meticulous (like, SLOW!) about his picture-taking. He just got a new digital camera before our trip in May and he says it really made a difference in the quality of the pictures. However, I think it's all natural talent! LOL!

I also enjoy going back and looking at all of our photos, but it gives me itchy feet -- time to plan another adventure!

Thanks so much for sharing the pictures from your trip. They really are stunning! The landscapes are perfect, color and composition. What kind of camera did he use? I'm sure that the new camera is great but it's the eye of the photographer that makes the picture!

Allison, it's a digital Canon Rebel. I know very little about cameras -- thank goodness David does! I remember that we got a really good deal on it though thru www.buy.com.

David has been on Cloud 9 today with all the great comments about his pictures. Thanks again to everybody who took the time to write!
