Hoping to see a little sunshine this morning, after a cloudy weekend, I was disappointed to wake up to overcast skies. Had it been a sunny day, I would have grabbed my camera (and jacket) and headed to the Arboretum. However, completely unmotivated by the dull weather, I decided instead to park myself in front of my computer to practice some new processing techniques. Choosing three birds I photographed earlier this month in Chagrin River Park, I specifically focused on white balance, cropping, and using the graduated filter. Here are the results:



If the sun decides to peek out later on, I may go for a trail walk, but meanwhile, I’m staying inside! No trail walking this morning, but if you stopped by to say hello, I’m delighted you’re here.
