Sorry for the delay:

My attempts at manipulating SWMBO's pics are not too hot, so please forgive my incompetence!




Great Grey Shrike
Sardinian Warbler
Can't remember the third one! (Suggestions, please)
Hoopoe (Early morning)

 

[Lazarus]

And a few more (Now I've found out how to Resize them in Picasa!)




Last one is, I think, a Willow Warbler

Looks like a Whinchat. Nice shots.

 

[Lazarus]

Thanks - she's getting better at this!

PS: I've just Resized that first batch too, and added a Hoopoe.

 

[Piltdownpaul]

That first butterfly and the dragonfly.....exceptional sir,great detail.

 

[Lazarus]

SWMBO is swelling with pride!

PS: The first Flutterby is a Swallowtail.

 

[Piltdownpaul]

My sis is into butterflies big time, she would know but alas i am a muppet!

 

[Piltdownpaul]

Is picasa some linux software you use for image processing,i havent heard of it?

 

[rolfw]

Windows and Linux, it's a photo organiser software.

 

[Lazarus]

Yep.

Google (who created it) no longer support it for Linux, but ('cos Linux is so adaptable) there are ways and means!

 

[Piltdownpaul]

I see its no longer supported for us,i was just curious.

 

[Lazarus]

I have got it running under Mint, but haven't succeeded in installing it under Crunchbang: Gimp is the main Linux Photo Suite these days.

 

[rolfw]

Or you can download the GIMP, much more sophisticated.

 

[Lazarus]

Yep. Got Gimp too (On our Crunchbang Lappie): Far too many bells and whistles for my taste! But it has a very good reputation among the cognoscenti and the adept.

 

[Piltdownpaul]

I know a guy with an art studio in Skye who uses Gimp. Funny thing is i get called a gimp at work.

Aurora again in Helsinki the other night fighting the light pollution plus a plane got in the way... (someone has already asked why I ruined the photo by drawing a line across it!)

 

[Piltdownpaul]

So why do you draw a line across it then...... .. Its a great shot,even the glow from the lights looks cool.

 

[skomedal]

Try to correct the exposure ( glare from lighting ) or crop with photoshop or other photo prog.
