On Hirtle's (Hartling) Pond

To auto white balance or not autowb...that is the question. What say you readers?

I like the colour and contrast of the grass in the autowb shot, but I like the colour/contrast of the sky and clouds in the non-autowb shot. I'm thinking the non-autowb image is 'truer' to the conditions at the time...

Any comments, post processing workflow suggestions are appreciated:


Raw => UFRAw (auto exposure adjustment) => GIMP (levels adj., autowb, crop, resize, export to *.jpg)

Not Heavy Metal



Wow, that is almost the most 'New Germany' phone number ever.

I am tempted to call as a wrong number, to hear them say that phone number aloud: "six foh foh, two foh foh foh"

Spotted at L'burg Save Easy.

Yesterday was an afternoon for logs.

Here's one of the local winter surfing faithful (or is that 'crazy'?) in the pocket on little peeler.
