Isn’t this what we all picture ourselves doing during the summer? Flying a kite. Watching the sunset from the pier or the shore, with or without a camera.
I love the warm tones that the sunset provided on this day. I think this photo could easily be turned into a puzzle if I reduced the texture.
Shot with camera+. Edited with Snapseed and PhotoToaster.


Beautiful! What is PhotoToaster? Is that what gives the red effect on the righthand side? Really cool!
Its a photo editor. I don’t use it too often, but its definitely good. Theres a free version in the app store if you want to play with it. It doesn’t have all of the features, but will give you an idea of what it can do.
The red glow was already there in the original. It was greatly enhanced by how I edited the image this time.
Amazing! Thanks for letting me know!
Hope you are enjoying Oregon. A place I’d love to visit someday….
I was enjoying Oregon. I’m back in CA right now trying to figure out whats going on with my health. Im hoping to go back as soon as possible.
David — While you routinely blow me away with your geek-dom on the nuts-and-bolts of photography, I like it. I trust it because I see your Gift in your subjects, the composition and the care with which you tend to your craft. Keep on keeping on. I’m a fan. Dan
Thank you, Dan. I really appreciate the words of encouragement. Being a perfectionist, I’m really hard on myself and sometimes forget that I’m any good haha. Thanks again.
Been there. Done that. Me too. But hey, we keep each other grounded (I guess). No puffery. Your work is good. The craftsmanship speaks so you don’t need to.
