Drab day in the park

Subtitle: Playing with reflections

Only a day after I took the "Wintery morning" pics, I took these (and many more) in the park in Oldenburg:

(This one is quite soft because of the digital zoom that I used - the photos suffer from this tool!)

The Oldenburg town silhouette in the background + reflected on the water

Trying to find what colours there were... not many!

(I have no idea why Photobucket condenses some and leaves other pictures so large... it was none of my doing here).

Thanks, Chris.

These were not easy to take. The day was nearly done and it rapidly grew dark, after it had never been bright all day long. I had to push the camera to iso200 to get these and find they lack in colour and brightness - with the sky too washed out in each and every one of them (other than the blurry first taken at the full digital zoom ... not to be recommended I now say).

But then these were never photoshopped or so, they are straight from the camera. So I - or much rather some of you PS gurus - might get more out of them, if you'd want to. I didn't... it was a drab day, after all.
