I am feeling uninspired in naming this. I am back for a while (see the I'm back thread I will write later).
I was in Monterey recently and took lots of shots. Felt good. Haven't really done photography for about six months. I took this just as it was getting starting to get dark (in another 5-10 minutes or so it was too dark). I don't really know how to shoot at night so I didn't know what I was doing. :-) This looks sort of lonely, but actually, IIRC, this was the newer busier pier with all the shops and restaurants. I just shot up. But I like the lonely look so I probably shouldn't have told you that. It has lot of noise, but I rather like it. I haven't really done any noise reduction on it. When I tried it (Elements 3, noise reduction), it took out too much of the light/pinkish violet banding. I sort of like it, think it adds "flavor." Anyway, I wouldn't want all of that color to disappear. http://members.aol.com/eactivist/PAWS/pages/pier.htm Comments welcome. Also maybe suggestions on how to do noise reduction without removing all of the subtler/ pinkier color. (But I don't want to spend money on Noise Ninja). Or tell me if you think it's okay even with banding. Marnie aka Doe :-)
