Ninky


photo taken earlier in the year when i was exploring country lanes early one morning trying to get good shots of oilseed rape fields ... i was driving down some narrow tracks when i went under a railway bridge - my attention was drawn to the bright orange lichen stuff; it wasn't until i looked at the photo on the camera that i noticed the writing on the wall!

previous postings with a message .. DOOM .. poo ..&.. spunky

what i've done .. levels, colour, contrast, equalised

What am i listening to? .. Robert Drasnin - Voodoo

edit... photobucket appears to have gone all arse & is resizing files now to fit to screen sizes! (& not keeping the same quality) .. so bear with me whilst i try & find somewhere else to host my photos (blogger reduces files over 250kb it seems to me, & mine are usually around the 500kb mark .. & this one was 700kb) .... it's a nice sunny day here, so i'll have to check it out later on!

update... i uploaded it to the ad-hungry imagevenue, then uploaded the image link location into photobucket & it didn't alter the quality! woohoo! ... still gonna have to check out an easier option later this weekend ... have a good one people! ;)
