What better way to start the work week than to take a contrasty photo?
When I am in the "PaD mode" virtually everything I see has some kind of photographic quality to it. At least, that is what my current "PaD mode" feels like. I will admit that my other PaD attempts weren't like this. I would spend at least 2 hours in the taking of the photos (usually a hundred or so) then the Post Processing of them. The 40D and Lightroom have really helped in this department (and a little credit goes to me too ;)
Looking back on my current PaD, I can see that I am in a contrasty/grainy/saturated mood. Perhaps the arrival of spring will change this (spring is a long, long, way off).
