Bridges (Part 1)

I'm starting a bridge series today.

These were found not far from the waterfall in my last post. I should have taken note of the date these were built, but I did not.

A Walk in the Park

My wife and I went for a walk in a local park a few days ago. I took some pictures.

Another Try at the Sunrise

This one worked out a little better, I think, there were clouds this time to capture and reflect the light, which makes it much more interesting.

Up until now I haven't put much/any time into editing or enhancing my photos, but I'm slowly learning more about it. I've attempted to liven up the colours a bit using the Levels and Curves tools in the GIMP. I also adjusted the saturation for yellow and blue on some of them and I tried sharpening the last two. And I added my name to them just to copy the professionals (does that make me a dork?). Let me know what you think. Is there something else that I should be doing? Should I just leave them alone?

Lens Flare

Experimented with lens flare the other day. It was a little tricky. There seemed to be a lot of variables: zoom, angle, aperture, the distance from the subject (which affected focus), and luck. I didn't really get it figured out, though managed to get a few good ones. Now if I could do it while actually taking a picture of something nice it'd be even better.
