This was a failed attempt by the camera to capture the red lifebelt so I've converted the shot to greyscale in FastStone and added a bit more contrast.
A small and belated September update for 2024, where I am still, after many years' membership, on 365 Project, also now posting elsewhere but wanting...
I have never heard of faststone but I love the effect Hazel....must check it out! Lovely tones here & I can understand how the red lifebelt would stand out!
Um, thanks - must check. This red s/c prog on my Fuji has no possibility for changing settings - maybe it's possible on the Sony I've now got.
The camera only got it in bits (it really needs flat surfaces) - and, truthfully, I couldn't be bothered to do a 'clone and heal' processing on it!!
Pat, Faststone is free to download online - just a request for a small voluntary donation, say £5.
Oh yes, snowdrops were lovely, also lots of celandines and some purple crocuses.
I did try, after all, to re-instate the red but it was too tricky with bits of twiggy branches around, and across the front of, the lifebelt!
Too difficult!!
Not with all those twigs etc! And if the camera doesn't deliver the goods......!
