 34th of 100

[Apr. 5th, 2012 01:25:13 PM]

I did indeed take 100 photos blind, going to one or two or three places where I never go to photograph and clicking away as I turned myself and or my camera about, up or down, so soon as I feel the auto focus will permit me. (Other possibilities, I know...) I was amazed: 2 and a half pics were more interesting than my normal haul, out of 100.

Processed in Irfanview in Wine, global adjustments only. The weird colour distribution may in part be due to the plugin AltaLux effect, a bizarre mixture of halo/vignetting, contrast, sharpening and desaturation (I think), followed by my usual torture of sliders in colour adjustments. (A little voice tells me when to stop).

Whoo! Thank you posthum, I have needed to hang.

Interesting processing. Not so sure it's something that like, but, it's different, very colorful.
Still, I give this a 6
