Red Ants      Sunday, November 11, 2007



What's your take on post-processed images? Admittedly (and I don't deny it), I do it too, usually using Picasa. I make the colours more vibrant, then straighten and crop as needed. After acquiring my digital camera I realised that even in the best lighting conditions I am not quite satisfied with the slight washed-out quality of my pictures... and then Picasa came along, and it made everything easy-peasy.

Recent conversations and experiences made me feel defeated as some people / purists may consider post-processing 'cheating.' It is subjective opinion really, but from time to time I do feel that some people scoff at my images because it's not real camera work.

At the end of the day I try to convince myself that in the real world, the end result is more important. You chose to go digital for a reason and editing is part of the digital photography process. I don't want to take this too seriously or impose certain rules for myself.

Skipper Butterfly


I was bored waiting for my dad so I followed critters for a good hour or so. This is one of the better shots of the afternoon.

Doggie      Monday, August 20, 2007



An old man owns him. It delights me to see elderly men with dogs. It's endearing.
