Reality and the Tree Next Door


Early morning, after a hard winter (February,actually) I looked out my door and saw my neighbor's tree. Beautiful early morning light falling on white blossoms. On my way to the car to drive to work I took some time to "smell the roses" photographically. Blue sky and white blossom, ah serenity.
To present something to you that even remotely approaches what I saw, however, became an exercise in overcoming. You see the camera (the trusty G5) and I did not agree at all. Where I saw white blossoms it saw reddish pink, where I saw white houses it saw bluish ones. We wrestled in RAW and LAYERS and came to an accommodation.
Be careful, the camera has it's own set of eyes.

No, not shot with the G5. I would go nuts trying to do this with that camera. Tamron 90 Macro (manual focus). Kodak DCS full chip (14.5MP) camera. Thanks Eric for letting me borrow this. Lying around Sunday watching the cat (May). Wonderful things are always nearby.
