I think these were from a photo CD, they look too good for my flatbed scanner. The prints had a bluish cast, but the CD doesn't.The park benches were a departure for me, I had previously been more focussed on older street furniture, cast iron predominantly. Seeing the stacked tables it was a natural departure.
There is an irresistible attraction to back lit plants. Often it works well, as above, and sometimes simple okay as below.
My favourite shot of the day was this tiger. I did tweak the contrast in Photoshop, but I think I managed to do okay there.
I sometimes think I should have played more with B&W over the years. I was always displeased with the result, but I figured it was as much a development process as the exposure, and was trying to justify a dark room. Playing with Photoshop I saw the advantage to not having chemicals around the house, and the immediacy of the result was more gratifying.
