Iniscarra Sunrise
This morning I captured the sun rising from near Iniscarra.

A digital workflow for web viewing – based on Photoshop, but it should be usable under the GIMP too. I’ve only read a few of his points and I already see something that everyone else disagrees with. You should “unsharp” at the end, not at the start. Hmm, he also has a wiki with lots of photography links. goody!

Easy Guide For Composition – nothing new, but a good reminder.

Simulating Shallow Depth of Field with The GIMP – another excellent tutorial from Eric Jeschke.

Terry and the Pixels – lots of photography tutorials and info here and a few other related articles.

Trees In The Mist
It’s been foggy all day, something that’s quite unusual. Usually, the sun would burn away any fog by midday but it’s lingered on today for some reason.
I went down to the Gun Powder Mills this morning and took this photo. Originally, it didn’t look very special but when I hit the Levels->Auto button in The GIMP this is what happened! I’m really pleased with the result as it’s abstract and looks kinda like a painting. I wish I could claim that I spent hours manipulating the photo but I didn’t. I only cropped it a bit and darkened the water slightly. Have a look, I think you’ll like it!
