Ending Year 2

For the ::September Scavenger Hunt:: monthly Challenge
Sept. 21. balloon or fence

This completes two years of PADing, and it’s been quite a journey
thanks to all of you for the great comments and encouragement

The next few months will be tough as I will be travelling very light
With only a very poorly calibrated works laptop and my G7.

The works laptop only seems to have a crop and resize capability, so no tweaking available at all
and where I had hoped to be able to use the online image editors,
they all seem to need the latest flash player… and I don’t have one :(

This should not be too much of a problem, when shooting general shots for PAD
but it does make scavenger hunts and Thursday Challenges slightly more difficult…

Canon PowerShot G7
1/160s f/2.8 at 9.9mm full exif

other sizes: small medium original auto

Congrats on completing two years of PAD-ing. I love your images! This is no exception... love the dof and beautiful blue! And I second Scott's comments below :)

Congrats on 2 years. And knowing you, I suspect you will get more amazing shots with the G7 and no image processing than most of us do with our DSLR and full Photoshop.

Eh, it looked like a Wurlitzer from teh thumb. That blue is magnificent.
Hmm... only G7 and work laptop... credit crunch time? G7 shoots RAW, innit? Try the Gimp and Rawtherapee, both cost you nothing and run perfectly on my three year old laptop. Said the thrifty one who even picks up rubber bands the postman left behind.

Well done with this shot, congrats on your 2nd PAD anniversary, and best of luck over the next few months.

Perhaps your few months' challenge should be "straight from the camera" then.. .;o)
Love the DOF & blues in this!
Barbara Heide21-Sep-2008 16:48
