Not a bad place to wait 'fer a bus', is it? You've got the lovely soft greys and greens off to to T in these, Mike. I am thoroughly enjoying looking through them!

Kind regards, Sue

No problem Sue, i used Picassa 2 to tweak the pics a bit, just a wee bit mind! , So I gratefuly accept one eighth of the praise, thankyou, your too kind.

Do you use any post-edit software on your gougeuos antipodean photos??

Well, Tony just told me about Picasa, so I downloaded it yesterday and now I wish I could run all my photos through it! It makes a difference, doesn't it? I mean, who needs an expensive camera when you can make my most mediocre shots look 'alright' just by pressing a button. I often find that mine are not quite in focus and it seems to really help with that. Also, I tried doing the 'warming' for some pictures of the kids, as they are rather pale faced at times.

OH no, off to sort the masses out again. I have a different one off each day from school lately, and have a head thick with .......I don't know what is in there, actually! Concrete, I think!

(I nearly forgot, for the first photos, say about the first 10 I did, I just used the adjusting bit for light on the Windows Live photos, then for the next ones, I used paint.net, which is where I got my swirl gadget from.) I still like that for some things, but I like picasa too, now. So many things to try! Like being in a toy shop!

Cheers, Sue

Yes, Sue, I've tried a wee few myself, but am happy with Picassa2, for "special" effects, I like UlEADver 7 or 9, its a laugh!

As I said before, its just to give a tweak, no more, I don't want to overdo it, even a wee bit!

Your telephone box house pic is on your page-the grass tree pic, I dug it out for you to see, if you look now, I shan't delete it as its part of a wee story now, it has to stay.

I want to thank you most of all for being an EAR to listen while I have been CROOK you helped me pass the time awee bit easier. xx

I am happy you got Picassa2 on Tony's reccomendation, he's a very knowledgable chap, I have surreptisiosly (?) picked up a lot of tips from him, even quiet ones, by looking at his work!

Gotta get to bed now, so g'night, God bless Mike
