Experiments With Macro and Picasa

Just yesterday I noticed that my trial of Lightroom had expired, and while I was fairly happy with it during the trial, it didn't quite grab me enough to subscribe just now - so I thought I'd give Picasa another shot.

I took a pretty big walk around the Botanical Gardens this afternoon, and mostly ended up taking macro shots of flowers. Nothing particularly fancy or ambitious - it was just a nice sunny day to be taking photos of flowers, and I hadn't yet dedicated a whole photo walk to playing around with macro like this.

So here's a sampling of some of the best shots of today - most are untouched, and a couple are (obviously) twiddled with filters.
