Japanese cherry blossoms have done wonder to the parks.
This image is captured using my standard tools. It's monkeyed with using GIMP and UFRaw plug-in. Gimp comes with Ubuntu 8.04 but not UFRaw, I downloaded UFRaw via Add/Remove Program, but Gimp can't invoke that so something wasn't right. OKAY, I should have downloaded gimp-ufraw plugin not just the stand-alone version, so UFRaw can be invoked from gimp.
My old man and I witnessed together with our naked eyes the blossoming of all kinds of cherry trees in Japan proper way back in April 2000.
ReplyDeleteThe scenes were utterly mind-blowing, especially those by the banks of a serene canal in Kyoto with mandarin ducks leisurely swimming in pairs. It's got to be a life-changing experience.
The light in your pic was very natural indeed.
