Just playing

Being Saturday, warm, sunny and very ‘Springy’, I spent most of yesterday in the garden. Admittedly there is not a great deal to show for it, but a couple of seasonal flowers were potted and proudly places for the world to see. It went through my mind to post a before and after photo of the patio, but the before was simply too embarrassing  and the after still shows signs of untidiness although the seats and table has been cleaned.

With the weather not being too brilliant today, I decided to spend an hour or so playing with Gimp this afternoon. Nothing very breathtaking I’m afraid, but a small beginning has been made.

Panasonic DMC-LX2; f/5.6; 1/400; ISO 100 - Resized with Gimp
'Enhanced' by Gimp - I removed the crane and various wires and made an 'Old Photograph' out of it.

There seems to be a bit more to this enhancement business than meets the eye. The crane and overhead wire removal went quite well. I did try inserting a few clouds in the otherwise boring sky, but that looked very cheap so decided upon the old photo look instead.  Now I’ve been sat in front of the PC far longer than intended so I’m off in the search of coffee and nourishment 🙂
