Sitting by the Pond

Green & Grey

GRD II, f7.1, 1/100, ISO 100, RAW

The weather has been again typical for the British summer we have here, grey and rainy for most of the day. I did not take many pictures and only took a handfull on my way home.
I wanted to give this picture a slight depressing and surreal feel to it. I have added vignetting, used fill light at 100%, added some noise and changes the contrast slightly. The result is what I had in mind although at first I wanted to have it in b&w.

Waterlily

LC1, f2.4, 1/1250, ISO 100, JPG, 90mm

Took this while out for a walk in a park nearby today. I have darkened the blacks and added some vignetting to make the white waterlily stand out more.
I really like the LC1 and how it handles, for color work it is great. It is a shame that Panasonic has not released a LC2 and I can only hope they will release a LC2 based on m4/3 but only with the same fantastic 28-90mm f2.0-2.4 lens.

Curious Goose

GRD, f4, 1/750, ISO 200, JPG b&w

Did not have much time for taking pictures today but while walking around Blackheath I took a few pictures of the geese at the pond nearby.
This goes in my animal series with the snail and pigeons :). Wonder if a picture taken of animals but on the street and in black and white would qualify as 'Street Photography' or rather 'Wildlife Photography' or simply as a (boring?) snapshot of a goose ;).
