Telamon at Dewes Mansion

I don't normally like to edit my photos too much. A little bit of color balancing or adding a contrast layer is usually the extent of it. I recently downloaded the latest version of Picasa so I figured I'd see what it could do. The photo above was taken in the early evening without much ambient light available. In Picasa I added more fill light, removed the color information, and added film grain. The recently restored nature of the sculpture adds to the decaying effect.

pictures...

On this blog I'll share a photo per day. I'll try to update the blog daily with a new pic. Regardless, I'll take a new picture each day. Since it's my birthday, I figured today would be a good day to start.



Thanks,
