Messing About With Nature And Picasa

I took my American friend to Pooh Corner yesterday. We had tea and cakes, and then strolled through the fields to Pooh Bridge, through the 100 Acre Wood. I uploaded my photos (just taken with the little camera on my mobile phone) today, and then started playing around with effects. I've used Picasa for a while for uploading and storing photos, but have only just started using it to enhance my images.

So this is the 100 Acre Wood, with sepia and glow effect, looking like a photo from the 1920s:


And this is the 100 Acre Wood (in the other direction), with warmify and soft focus centred on the vanishing point:


And this was my pal, wholly unposed, looking over Pooh Bridge, with black and white filter and film grain:


I quite like how they came out. I don't know if they're better or worse than the original colour versions, but they're different at least. And it gives me something else to do with my copious free time.
