sunset

took these pictures while stopped on pch in huntington beach.

i guess i could fix this a little bit and make the horizon straight, but it doesn't bug me. any thoughts? oh hell, now i want to do it to see if it helps.

 hmmm - maybe i do care and i do like it better straight.

shooting birds

i went to the bolsa chica nature reserve on the way to work this morning. i've never been there before. weave and i tried to go once with otis but the "no dogs" sign turned us around.

i had fun shooting birds ... shooting pictures of birds i guess i should clarify ... here are a couple.

This is an experiment with the re-compose tool in PS Elements. Its an interesting tool and I like the result on this image. What I don't like is the white rectangle below the image. I wonder how to get rid of that?
