Near the Yard with the Cannas, October 14, 2009

Between showers, last Wednesday, I took a walk with my Canon G2 digital camera and tried to capture the raindrops on this planting, which is on the same property as the canna bed, but nearer to the house.





Here's one of the grass blossoms, close up:

Images from a Dogwood in October, with colors enhanced, using LightZone

The brilliance of this dogwood tree in the afternoon sunlight did not come through well in my original image. I should have adjusted the camera settings better. But I've tried to recapture the memory of what I saw by warming the color temperature slightly and then increasing the luminosity and saturating the colors a bit.



Here's a close-up of a leaf of this tree, made the same afternoon. I enhanced this image also, using LightZone to saturate the colors.
