Some photos to enjoy

2006………6wks-4th CYCLING TRIP-Gujarat & Southern Rajasthan, INDIA...........
I've been back 4 weeks now and waiting to see if my travel insurance will pay for the $350 repairs to my bicycle.

I have been mucking around with some of my photos from the trip now that I'm home. You really need to click on the photo to enlarge it to fully appreciate the various treatments to the photos. I have been using PhotoImpact and ACDSee programs. Some are cropped, changed to sepia, others using the cartoon, oil paint and watercolour manipulations. I thought I would put them up here and keep adding other photos to this blog every now and then. I hope you enjoy.

Cheers Pedallingpete

Hi! I just came over your very interesting blog. You have some excellent photos, but please, don't ruin them with "photo effects". Sepia works fine, but watercolour or even cartoon effect are no go... Ok, thats my opinion, but i acknowledge that people have other preferences (and thats good and healty). Enjoy and keep travelling!

Photo Effects- "no go" for the purist
Thanks for your comments. Obviously I don't see it that way. I just see it as another medium. I love the way the colours merge and I see a photo in another way. It would only "ruin them" if I didn't have the original. I don't see any difference to altering a photo by cropping out something, changing an exposure to get an effect, or using a different speed film etc. It's all fun.
