The Nicer Side of the Armpit

This was another shot from the rest stop.

Looking at my Saratoga photos after uploading, I was almost immediately dissatisfied with how they looked on Flickr, as the colors simply wouldn't display properly in spite of the face that my prints (from a photolab and not from Flickr) were fine. Therefore, although it's backtracking and delaying my catchup to the present, I decided to put them in Gimp again and edit them for improved color. This is the first one.

This shot took some careful editing, as the delivery van (or whatever it is) in the foreground kept looking like it was a painting unless I balanced the sliders just right. I'm still not 100% satisfied, and I may edit this shot yet again.

Here's the first of my "Fall Colors in Saratoga" shots.

Here's the second of the "Fall Colors in Saratoga" shots, edited for color.

....and here's the third shot, also edited for color.

In addition to editing the colors on the I90 shots, I also added some tags like "Thruway," that I neglected to do the first time because I was in a hurry. In any case, I hope this isn't as bad.

The second shot at the Thruway rest stop, if you look carefully, is more a reframing than anything else. The exposure settings may have also been lighter, but I didn't write them down. Otherwise, it's a very similar shot to the first, and with this edit, I'm convinced that it's a better shot than it was before.

Finally, here's the last of my New York 2008 Fall Colors shots, edited for color.
