This is for Nigel who I know likes a bit of grain in his pictures so I thought I'd oblige him. ‍You're welcome!

Even through the mist, there is still so much color information I could get from the woods in RAW format. With a little bit enhancement of vibrancy and saturation, I see these two trees - the Evergreen Furs and the Red Hairs dancing and shooting their magic powers to each other - a magic forest! With some exploration, I decided to increase the grains and crop the originally portrait image to the landscape at screen size 16:9 so that the grains are visible - making it like a work of embroidery.

I don’t know, maybe because it’s Tuesday?!

To all my dear Flickr friends, I wish a Merry Christmas And a Happy New Year!!!

Sorry, but no snow this year, again.

I think that's what I will call this custom user preset... ;)

Two strangers. I considered "Strangers" for my title but that sounds as though they are strange to each other. Clearly untrue. "Two Strangers" joins them together as a couple but then, of course, there is the man behind them. "Three Strangers" doesn't quite cut it since he is barely visible and not the subject. I went with "Grainy". Interestingly there isn't a single coloured pixel in the image but the man behind's sleeve seems pinkish on my iPad screen.

As seen on a walk.

Converted to monochrome and given a grainy treatment.

went to the fotomuseum in den Haag and to the Museon , a lot to see, and Barb was finding a silence place to rest ;D ( low light )

For some reason, this and a couple of other pics came out really dark and grainy (I probably screwed up a setting or two again). But, instead of trying to fix it or even trash the pic, I decided to go with it.

One of the doors in my house, which had a paint stripping treatment to remove 50+ years and umpteen layers of paint from it. Once we saw how lovely and characterful it was underneath, we left it as it was.

Shot at 34mm, F2.8, 200 ISO inside an old historic building where I spent the night while exploring modernist art.

I think of trees as Nature's lungs and a part of the living being we all call Earth. We are all connected and we'd better start acting like it.

Meanwhile, get out there and suck up on some of that fresh new oxygen that Spring brings... :)
