No, the sky wasn't quite this blue and dramatic. But it was close.

I went to the Toronto Freedom Festival at Queen's Park with dennisnez last weekend.

It was a miserable day, and none of my photos turned out, but I decided to play with a couple of them today and see if I could do anything interesting with them.

This is a result of randomly clicking buttons in Picassa. I have no idea who the subject is, she's just the most colourful one in the photo. (Even before the B&W filter.)

Andy was checking out my camera and he snapped a couple of shots....this is one of 'em

I played around in Photoshop tonight with my new CS4. There might be a color-phase ahead. And I still haven't tried that HDR-stuff. So looking forward to holidays!

Another version of the previous photo "Getting introduced". I shall upload the original without any modification shortly.

Need to get off the site for awhile. I'm seeing things...

just don't know . . . adjustment layer, after adjustment layer. Levels, brightness/contrast, hue/saturation, curves. Turn on. Turn off. Do I like it better that way? Or no? On. Off. Another layer. Adjust the levels. No? Adjust the curves again. Levels?. Turn it off. On. Better? Not Sure. Another texture layer. Better? Worse? Step backward . . .Step backward. Step backward. Step forward . . . okay, now I have to get the kids to bed. Is this how everyone else feels with Photoshop? I'm guessing, yes :)

Je ne suis pas un fan du post-processing, mais voici quand même le résultat d'un exercice dans le genre.

These three feeding herons were probably a quarter of a mile away. I captured the image with a Tamron 150-600 lens. Then I forced the images into three exposures and recombined as HDR with Photomatix Pro. The middle bird appears to be "canopy" feeding, forming a shade with its wings to attrack fish, a technique usually associated with black herons.

Just playing around with color balance and some text overlay.

He wanted to drink some margarita.

He had a stall at the markets on wednesday, amazing Foie Gras!

I super-saturated the colours, and boosted the contrast to give it a faux HDR look. The girls' skin is all right, but I think the foremost horse is too blue

I laid on the grass for this shot.

Always a big discussion wether to edit an image or not.

i am thinking about the words of a flickr friend - take care.

it coud be a flowery phrase, but it´s worth to think a little bit more about it. a little mmcarlos is sitting on my head and observing me most of the time and give me time to time a response. but sometimes i have to look if he really watches.
