ready to reveal

a fine june morning in the ornamental gardens, central experimental farm, ottawa.

the sensor in the a100 has problems with certain pinks and reds, especially in the sun, so i played a lot with curves and hues in the gimp. also added a gaussian blur layer to soften the overall image, then added the vignetting for the heck of it. learning the ropes after years of ps elements, but now i've sorted out a few gimp quirks, i think it has great potential! still so much more to learn, but this was a good start.

 

(next step: tracking down a good, freeware, sony-compatible raw converter, that might actually save exif data! i've heard rumours...)
