    Another Dark PathAnother image from my weekend walk.

    Using CS5 I converted to B&W and adjusted the various colour channels to both highlight the path and give the trees and grass a more menacing feeling (it is Halloween after all).

    Shot on the Sony Nex 5n with 16-50 pancake zoom.

  • Here Comes Summer!

    Summers on its wayLabour Day here in New Zealand today – a national public holiday!

    After mixed weather forecasts, we had an overall fine, sunny and hot weekend. A signal summer is on the way!

    I mentioned the other day having issues with Gimp since updating to OSX 10.9. I since confirmed an identical issue on my laptop, suggesting something goes not quite to plan whilst updating. I uninstalled and downloaded another version of Gimp 2.8 on the laptop and it seems to have fixed the issue, so I’ll do the same on my desk unit.

    Until then, todays image shot on the Sony Nex 5N and minor adjustments made in CS5.
