The Pentax offers a few more things to play with like colour extraction and illustration than the Olympus does. There's a lot to learn, but that's good because it's fun.
Two sentences from the Pentax K20D Operating Manual (Pentax Corporation 2008) about the illustration setting:
"Creates an image that looks as though it was drawn with a pencil. The setting cannot be adjusted."
A waterfall in Yellowstone after some playing.
I've managed a bit of writing in between the pictures. I'm rewriting my first manuscript and it's coming along slowly as I want to give it some thought and do as adequate a job as I can muster.
It may not ever be send-out-worthy, but when someone finds it languishing on the hard drive after I'm famous and gone I want it to be as unembarrassing as I can manage.
Two recast lines and and extra from The Legend of Shallal:
"Her hand was tingling. High tones sent her thoughts dancing. She felt her exhaustion racing away like a wave headed back to the ocean. "

Thanks for taking the time to read me.

That photo in black and white is striking. I also really like your reason for polishing your manuscript. :)
Laurita, thank you. It's heartening to know someone else likes my efforts and reasoning.
You can be proud that you are a good editor. I think that is the hardest about any art...revisiting and being honest and seeing the problems.
I like the waterfall in B&W, very nice. Good reasons for editing.
Thanks, Tabor. It's difficult to see when you're so close to it.
Thanks, Reb.
Never be embarrassed by the early material, any more than being embarrassed about the fact that you were once a baby and couldn't walk. It's where we all start.
Love your lines.
"...I want it to be as unembarrassing as possible."
What a fine definition of the editing process!
Well, as fine as possible without using expletives. ;)
Thanks, Messymimi.There's plenty of other stuff to cringe over.
Frank, why thank you.
Is that like making sure you always have on clean underwear - just in case? LOL
Anything you write has to be good.
The picture was really interesting. I find I like black and white photographs more and more - and sepia is also fun to play with.
I love sepia.. it reminds me of coffee
I hate coffee
Ooooh, great lines! I love..."high tones sent her thoughts dancing"...
You're GOOD. And the photograph? Well, you are on a roll, girl. Another winner.
Nancy, it's kinda like that. Thanks for your kind words.
Hi, Sy. I take it you like the look of coffee?
CherylK, thank you. I'm glad my words and pics are a hit.
