Not much subject matter available on our walk today: just some light and silhouettes playing against the water. Chiaroscuro.

Thanks Seraphim - it's a Lightroom plugin - Silver Efex Pro 2. I downloaded the 15 day trial. It's basically a bunch of Lightroom presets.

Photo Editing program
Can anyone recommend an inexpensive photo editing program that is easy to use?
Thanks for your replies.

Haven't used them but Picasa is free and I think Photoshop Elements is under $100.
iPhoto is a good beginner program but only for Macs.

I used to say Photoshop Elements without reservation but now I'd be torn between that and Lightroom. Lightroom is much better at dealing with large numbers of images, resizing for web/e-mail and the like.
Elements will do ~90% of what Photoshop CS6 or CC will do but is restricted to 8-bit images for the most part and is better at focusing editing on single images and one can do more with a single image than Lightroom. Both have learning curves. With many options comes complexity but once learned for me it was a "Wow!" experience.
I'm partial to Scott Kelby's books on either software package.
I haven't used Gimp or Picasa so cannot comment on those.

Canon comes with the free DPP software which is what I use. It's pretty intuitive and all that's needed for most photographers if you have that system.

GIMP is free and is a photoshop clone - but not as sophisticated or intuitive. I still have an old copy of Photoshop 7, but mostly I use Photogene on the iPad for basic editing when I have no need of levels; it permits working with RAW files.
Haven't used Lightroom or Elements.

After some much needed rain, Northern California is turning green again and I like the colors in that shot:

Five-alarm fire behind my apartment building. A new apartment complex still under construction caught fire this afternoon and burned down to the ground. As far as I know, no one was injured. Adjacent buildings were saved thanks to the efforts of the fire department.

OMG, FIREd!!!! I am so glad that your apartment didn't burn as well, and that you and your DW are safe. That was quite a conflagration.
GREAT fire shot, BTW.

Thanks! At some point, the blaze looked completely out of control and I thought that the whole neighborhood might burn down!
