I've been going through my Lightroom library, doing some post-processing in my spare time, and have a few more pictures to post from Ottawa. The first picture was underexposed because I had my camera in hand at night and the flash wasn't to enough illuminate it well at f/8 (I still wanted good depth of field, of course). Exposure compensation brightened the whole thing up nicely, but I cranked the contrast up and dialed the saturation way down to get the dark feeling back.

The next two were pictures were okay as shot, but not anything that I felt compelled to post up. I decided to do some crop and colour work on them specifically with the idea of submitting them to a
dpreview.com challenge for
afternoon landscapes with buildings.

| Across the Ottawa River to Gatineau, QC |
I ended up submitting the former, along with a picture I took when I was in Switzerland in 2005 (which is a trip and a set of pictures that will require a dedicated blog post at some point). Voting on the challenge will be open in a week, I might post a link and beg for 5-star ratings!
