LOVE your photography! We were doing some research for stainedglass windows that we are building for one of our clients and happened to find you and your spoonbills on-line. You are a true artist as well! Seems we share similar interests as well from home renovations to nature! Good luck as the space program takes a breakand please look us up on our website some time! Donandelaineartglassstudio.com You may see some of your inspiration in the works!

I'm trying to get Lakeland Terrier grooming info. from Julie. At one time, she had a "tutorial" on line but I'm unable to find it anymore. My 12 year old Cherry Creek female is clipper groomed and I have a new groomer who is unfamilair with the breed and its grooming points. I would appriciate her help.

What an absolutely wonderful collection of all kinds of photos, from Shuttle launches, we are especially interested in them, along with the photos of all the wonderful nature to be found around Cape Canaveral, Florida. We visit this area every winter, staying at Manatee Hammock from January into April. We also visited the Grand Canyon in 2007 while travelling across the United States to California. Greetings from Welland, Ontario, Canada. Can't wait to share these photos with friends!

Excellent pictures of STS launches. I was lucky enough to have seen Challenger's maiden launch from on-base. Haven't been back since.

bill woodward		28-Jan-2008 23:38
i didn't take time to look at them all yet, but the ones i did see are great pictures,rod!!! i will be returning often until i see them all!!! i work out in the field all day and just dont have the right lens yet for either film or digital..... had our work camera one day and caught some t.vultures working over a dead gator in one of the canals. one of those times a really good camera would have caught a beauty of a shot!! anyway, please keep them coming!! thanks, bill

Gary Zeiger		05-Nov-2007 11:44
Incredible!

Guest		28-Oct-2007 17:08

Guest		31-Jul-2007 14:32
I'm just learning about the Viera Wetlands in Brevard County. I work for DEP in wastewater wetlands, so I knew about the facility; however, I was unaware of the extent of the wetland trail and public access that the wetland provided. If you like that kind of this, we also have two other wetlands in Palm Beach county and one in Orlando that may be of interest.http://www.pbcgov.com/waterutilities/waterfacts/green_cay.htm http://www.pbcgov.com/waterutilities/wakodahatchee/ http://www.dep.state.fl.us/WATER/wastewater/dom/oreastwet.htm

You have great stuff here and I'm a little jealous to be honest.

Rod, Again you have some awsome photo's of this launch. Just like all the others you have taken. Keep up the great work so people all of the USA and possibly in other countries can enjoy what we at the Kennedy center get excited about. We are so proud of what we accomplish here. Georgett

Patti		12-Dec-2006 13:52
Awesome galleries, I love the shuttle launch, I lived in Florida 22 years and never been to one , seen them from across the state.

Guest		16-Nov-2006 04:09
The pics are beautiful. Nancy

Elton Scifres		31-Oct-2006 23:27
Rod, You have some fantastic galleries. I enjoyed looking at them. You visited my gallery some time back and I feel very flattered by your kind comments after having seen your outstanding work. Elton

Cedric Sims		15-Sep-2006 03:55
Nice galleries with a variety of excellent photos!

Rob Tobler		12-Sep-2006 04:29
Rod, You have some very nice images. I have gone to some of the spots you have taken pictures of and must say that you did a very nice job capturing the natural beauty of those places. Makes me want to go back. Thanks for sharing your pictures. Rob

Don Mc Donald		10-Sep-2006 22:57
Awesome photo's, if you ever want to shoot the corkscrew swamp sanctuary, in the cooler weather give me an e-mail. Capt Don

You just keep getting better. Thanks for the hours of enjoyment.

Ivan Cholakov		29-Aug-2006 05:50
awesome shuttle photos! keep up the good work!

Debby		04-Aug-2006 13:24
I truly enjoyed the gallery. Rich Lundgren, who works at NASA and has been a long time friend, sent me your page of the shuttle pics, but my favs are the wildlife. You have caught the essence of the wild florida and other places. I used to live near a creek in Orange Park and used to see a lot of these animals and birds in their natural habitat and it brought back memories. I have visited most of the places where you took the photos. Thank you for sharing. I wish I could do as well with my photos! Do you ever do shows or give lessons on taking pics?

Lynn Meier		02-Aug-2006 16:31
Your photographs are breathtaking!!!!!

james montgomery		02-Aug-2006 15:11
Fantastic! Great gallery. thanks.

Mickj Rogers		31-Jul-2006 10:47
I can't get over how good these photos are really tremendous; great work I received this link from a Friend in the USA good of you to share them to an old Digger from Australia.

Rod Ostoski - Brevard County Real Estate Photographer		20-Jul-2006 01:07
This message is for lito. Spamming my galleries with your "brain dead" comments is what got all of your comments deleted. Spamming the nice folks that leave comments here only further incriminates yourself. Try getting a life...

dewey o deason		16-Jul-2006 20:05
Rod .. I really appreciate that Kas sent me your link today ..you do great work in all aspects of your shots dewey

Guest		14-Jul-2006 13:40
Rod, your photos make a "budding" photographer jealous. THey are beautiful. Thanks for sharing them. Question: How do you get the photo "on top" of the gallery. I like that touch and would like to try it. Thanks Ken Mayo...kmayo@comcast.net

Nella Pascal		09-Jul-2006 04:56
I am impressed by your photography. Your bird photos are just stunning. You shoot with similar gear, I just hope to get as good as you are. I am still learning. God bless you for sharing. Nella

Guest		08-Jul-2006 16:12
found your pages by chance. What a great collection of photo's. I've bookmarked your pages.

Guest		08-Jul-2006 14:07
Probably one of the best Pbase galleries I`ve ever seen.. Thanks for some Magnificent photo`s.. Nige...

Please visit my new website: www.jasonryman.com		07-Jul-2006 15:54
Great work Rod!

Guest		06-Jul-2006 17:57
Fantastic galleries. I live in Palm Bay, so we're almost neighbors, and seem to share the same passion for nature photography. Sharon

Joyce Johnson		06-Jul-2006 06:54
My friend's daughter Danielle works with you and sent the website to a lot of her friends so we could see the pictures of the launch. They are just beautiful and awe-inspiring. I was surprised to see all of your other gallleries as well, especially the Merrit Island and the Titusville ones. Back in 60-62' my family lived on Merrit Island when my dad worked on the Mercury space project. Then we lived back in FL in Titusville in 66-68' when he worked on the Gemini space project. So I still have a special place in my heart for the area. It has grown and changed so much. I enjoyed the photos very much. Keep up the great work and good luck.

Joe Ferguson		05-Jul-2006 16:18
Thanks Rod, Gary Kane keeps a number of us posted asa to your recent photo updates. They are always superb! Thanks for sharing. Joe Ferguson

Martin Schiff		26-Nov-2005 18:02
This is a fabulous gallery, Rod. I'm in the Orlando area and am looking forward to visiting the places you've shown me here. I got the 100-400L lens recently and have been thrilled with its capabilities. I see that you have put it to very good use as well.

Gary R. Fitzpatrick		26-Sep-2005 20:57
Greetings from Green Bay, Wi My wife and I just loved your photos. keep up the good work.

Guest		08-Sep-2005 04:45
I had the pleasure of visiting Arizona a couple of years ago, and the sites were breath taking. Your shots of Sedona are spectacular!!!

bill powell		30-Aug-2005 12:05
i wish i was back in fl i worked with the space program when i was in the navy with the gemini and appolo program then i worked with the poloris program on the observation island out at the port sure miss seeing the shots thanks for the great pix bro in law still lives in port malibar and works at harris

Ben Cooper		29-Aug-2005 23:52
Rod, great shots...all of them. I shoot launches as part of my job, check out my website., Judging by some of your shots I'd say we must have met at some point and not known it. The shot of Discovery through the palm trees during rollout is similar to mine. www.LaunchPhotography.com But even aside from the Cape shots, your bird and wildlife photos are fantastic, as are the travel shots! I try to get into MINWR to shoot once in a while. I haven't posted those photos on my website yet though. Antelope Canyon is one place I hope to visit. I love the Southwest; one of the greatest experiences for me and my photography was hiking up the Narrows in Zion. A must if you haven't done that yet. Feel free to contact me, DeHBeaver0@aol.com, maybe you can give me some advice! Regards, -Ben

mcat		13-Aug-2005 03:47
What wonderful galleries. I came for the bird pictures but discovered the Discovery series--just wonderful! You have such talent and skill and a great eye for composition. The pictures are a delight. Thanks for sharing- Regards, Catherine

Rod Ostoski - Brevard County Real Estate Photographer		02-Aug-2005 02:45
Thanks for the kind words Wally. I think you'll do just fine with the D-70. I'm working with a Nikon D100 at work and it's a clean camera. The landing should be a little dark. If you can get me in with you, drop me a line. Cheers!

Wally		02-Aug-2005 01:46
Great pictures of the shuttle launch. I was at the launch also, but shooting for my tv station. Excellent shots. Im going to buy the Nikon D-70s next week. What do you think ? I will be back in Florida for the landing. Wally-ktp

Guest		26-May-2005 15:50
Like Always, you are sharing your beautiful wildlife photos, keep up the good work.

Jeff Cochran		15-May-2005 06:10
Wonderful photography! I like the eye catching banner u have.

Rod Ostoski - Brevard County Real Estate Photographer		04-May-2005 21:23
Hi Mike, I had the same question when I was there and had to actually drive out to see. Late afternoon to Sunset is the time to be there. You will be facing east for the shots. Take some water shoes with you and don't be afraid to get in the water. I would also walk around a little and try and get different perspectives. I ended up setting my tripod up in the water for my shots. I would also stay till the sun actually does down. I had some clouds show up before sunset and thought the sun was gone for the day. Driving out of the canyon, the sun popped out right before sunset with that sweet light. I about had a heart attack...LOL. Good luck. Rod

Mike Hartzell		04-May-2005 19:16
Rod, Nice pics of AZ. I live here and am planning a trip around the state. I will be going to Sedona (Red Rock Crossing), Grand Canyon (south rim) & Monument Valley. Maybe over into the white mountains. Regarding Red Rock Crossing, I have never been there. Is the best time sunrise or sunset for that location? Thanks for your help. Mike

Guest		21-Apr-2005 20:15
Hi Rod, very nice galleries. I like especially the shuttle stuff but also the rest. Very talented. Greeting from Luxembourg. Thierry.

bob swanson		19-Mar-2005 14:31
Hi Rod I've been photographing in Florida for a long time. Your images show what a lot of practice and skill and residency can do for wildlife photography. Thank you for your images and additionally for sharing your sites. As fore mentioned, I get to Florida quite a bit (Xmas, Brevard, and the left coast) and would like to contact you prior to may next visit. Yesterday I was at Chincateague, NWR and found a couple of Otters and my best shot was of course the head protruding out of the water. I did get to play an interesting game with it though. Regards, Bob Swanson

Brian Sartor		08-Mar-2005 00:22
You have many very nice wildlife galleries here. I purchased the Cannon 100-400 last fall -- I love it, but it has had limited use over our winter here. You've given me a standard to strive towards -- nice to see what the lens can do.

gladys		17-Jan-2005 05:02
Rod, Always enjoy your photos, love the spoonbills, have been thinking about going over to Merritt Island Wildlife Refuge, have never been, what tips can you give me.

andy		11-Nov-2004 01:04
Thats Black Point i think ??

Andy Bershaw		11-Nov-2004 00:58
Rod, love your wild life shots, i'm always looking for some one to shoot with I live in orlando and would like a chance to shoot on ksc property. Or if you are a shoot alone guy I understand but please let me know who to contact at ksc for a photographers pass. Andy Hopefully look foward to a wild life shoot with you. In the past I have gone to (black watch) in your area.

Paul_OH		03-Oct-2004 01:34
Rod, I followed your link from the Antelope Canyon shot in bytephoto and am very impressed. Well done, and I look forward to following your site in the future. Paul
