An ordinary life in an extra-ordinary place
The many arms of Guan Yin
She who must be obeyed is something of a Guan Yin admirer, so I took this shot for her:
Quite nice, but of course I had to have a play with it. So stuck it into Topaz Black & White Effects, converted to B&W and then painted back some of the jewellery. Makes the gold stand out more (I think), and took less than five minutes to do.

You using the evil Photoshop or Lightroom to work with the Topaz stuff?

Links from Lightroom. Really like B&W Effects. Also have Topaz Adjust but don’t use it much.

Admittedly I haven’t played with it yet since I got it last weekend. I fired it up for a second via Lightroom and then haven’t touched it since.

Nice pica. Still waiting for your big X100 Walking Street and X100 vs GX1 topic

X100 Walking Street is not going to happen, low light and tracking focusing could not cope. As an alternative I can offer: http://www.pattayadays.com/2011/06/walk-on-the-wild-side/
X100 vs GX1 coming this week.

Slight delay due to horse shooting commitments.

I’m guessing that those two shots should have been a ‘before’ and ‘after’ !
