Monochromatic Begonias

Monochromatic Begonias
After holding out for Capture One 4.0 for much of 2007 and trying out the beta that has at long last been finally released, I wonder whether if I should have made the jump to Adobe Lightroom earlier. Although my first test of beta 4 (for Lightroom) didn’t turn out too well, Lightroom 1.1 is currently luring me during my 30-day evaluation of the program. One thing I like is the ease which I can convert RAW to monochrome. The above is one of the Lightroom conversions I tried on a shot I took at the Botanical Gardens in Glasgow.

What’s Up?

What's Up?
I conducted a mini photography workshop last Saturday at the Botanical Gardens for a group of amputee patients as part of a series of art activities organised by the SGH Arts for Health programme. In between, I caught some pictures at the Symphony Lake. The lighting that day wasn’t exactly great (I’d have liked if I could have started earlier during the “golden hours”). In the end, I did manage to catch a couple of pictures I was happy with.
