STATOU: Andgoszcz (Brown Sugar) by

202 views as of 20th August 2011.

So, I was waiting for the bus, in maximum freezing temperatures, add to that that I was standing still for a long time and it was stupid o’clock in the morning… 0 was definitely the high as read by the hotel lobby thermometer thingy.

ANYWAY… saw this as I was looking around. Of course, I naturally, instantly, thought of AndGoszcz

For those of you unfamiliar with STATOU, please see this journal entry

Now, this is way more in the style for JoAndCoCards and even for me, textures are usually a no-no, however, as a STATOU, I figured it could go here. Sadly out of the 3 photos I took, this was the only non blurred/distorted one (seriously, what is up with ALL my compact cameras with the blurry graininess? Seriously?) but as it had a bizarre composition with a little unplanned crop at the top, it was pretty gosh darned boring… so I used my paid Picnik account… so… let’s do it….

Just off Elizabetes Ueli, Riga, Latvia. 17th March 2011.

Canon IXUS 120is. “Auto” mode.

Picnik processing used: Sepia with about 40% fade. Texture with 75% fade. Second texture with about 70% fade. Matte with sepia-ish colour, 75% approx size and 60% approx strength. I might have used something else but I cannot remember, I just kept going until I was OK with it :-)

No cropping.

    Nice shot and tones, a great dedication too!!!

  • Thank you, it’s totally different to what I would normally post here but it was just too boring otherwise… as it was a dedication I made an exception… normally shots like this would go to my “fun” account :-)

    No I didn’t, the bus was taking me out of the country and it was stupid o’clock in the morning. Maybe next time. :-)

    WE like fun and this is a great shot!

  • Fun’s OK but this is my serious account…. well serious in terms of “if it’s not good enough from the camera it’s not good enough”… still… :-P

    Thanks again! :-)
