I’ve been playing around with my new camera and the new photo editing program on Apple. At first I hated it but I’m starting to understand it a bit better. I still miss some features of iPhoto but guess it is the way of the world to change and change. The alternative is petrification. At any rate, I like the much-altered photo above. Want to see the original? Look below.
And here’s another edited color version:
Thanks, Cee, for this black and white challenge. Due to you, I’ve developed a new fondness for black and white photography. I love seeing the difference that alteration makes. Hard to believe these three are actually the exact same picture with just simple editing.

Judy it’s fascinating trying to decide which looks most like real life. The original is the most convincing until to wonder whether the black and white is an original Matthew Brady. Now you are waiting for that civil war train to whistle over the horizon. Hey, you’ve just added action to a still, that is clever! 🙂 Anton

Cee also ignited a new passion for black and white photography in me. 🙂
I like how very different each photo is and yet, each looks like it could be the original.

I really like both of your edited version. There is always something special about a lone tree in the middle of no where….you want to know it’s story.

We seem to both have a penchant for lone trees and your changed photo is charming.

I know. I can barely stand to ride in a car without a camera anymore, and those lone trees always attract my attention. The problem is how to capture them without bug splatters or those motion blurs! Some kind souls offer to stop the car. I always say yes!!!!
