I’ve just been processing some of the better pictures from our holiday in India for stock upload and came across this shot. I have lots of these: shots of interesting subject matter that are never going to make it through the submission process. I’m pretty sure it’s a green bee eater. These are lovely: the colours are fantastic.
There was a huge amount of droppings on the concrete which I admit to having clone stamped out in about half a minutes careless post processing.
I had to change the picture – the horizon was knocking my eye out every time I looked at it. Doing the custom crop to the precise dimensions that this theme requires has exposed an irritating feature – or rather absence of feature – in Aperture: you can’t save a custom crop size. The original picture this is taken from is here. The croc was at the Ranganathittu Sanctuary.
New year, time for a new theme. And as usual, the bit that is tricky to do is the random image. The banner picture is from our trip to Nagarhole national park, and was taken on our boat safari, showing the people crossing the lake in a coracle.
I’ve found one bug already, which is that the search page is displaying some HTML around the thumbnails in articles that return results. I’ll live with it for tonight at least…
