Down by the canal

Today, being Sunday, we went for a little stroll.

Here are the three scamps beside the Grand Rang.  Pretty well everyone around here will tell you it's a little river, a tributary of the Seine.  Well it's not.  It's a little canal that was built to protect parts of the town from subsiding and collapsing each winter when the Gambon (a real little river) floods.

Anyway, going back to my last post about overlays, I mentioned that they could be used with a bit more subtlety.  So in this photo I have used a picture of some fallen autumn leaves that were lying in the gutter as an overlay.  They might be difficult to spot because I blurred them, but they do help to warm up the overall light in the shot.

  1. This portrait of your 3 is beautiful and a natural portrait of all three. Well I can't detect the overlays so the effect must be perfect. Great photo!
