We go south, east, and then south again to get to the put-in. Then we paddle down to Trinity Bay and eat lunch on the ancient and now extinct oyster shells. That's the shell bank I remember but I've seen them in other places as well. <br /><br />Here's a link to a picture of them<br />http://outdoors.webshots.com/photo/2049553440031168545DVqoPPMarilyn Kircushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15014565704792020948noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7774004683471521654.post-89163792254637879572011-01-08T16:01:30.573-06:002011-01-08T16:01:30.573-06:00For those of us with few camera skills (that love ...For those of us with few camera skills (that love point n shoot cameras), Picnik is great for finetuning colors, dark photos, light photos and getting rid of red-eye (human and pets).

It...I have Picnik & it costs about $25 a year. It does have a bunch of things you can use & a lot of things I will probably never use. It does allow you to get into a bunch of glitzy stuff like fancy framing & seasonal stuff. Kids would use it a lot. On the serious side I have used it for cloning, dodging & burning, & a few special effects. If I was a little more serious about my photography I would probably use it more. Bottom line....if your happy with your basic Picasa program then it's probably all you need.Al Bossencehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04307619781955351484noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7774004683471521654.post-90288845273079550942011-01-08T04:58:51.324-06:002011-01-08T04:58:51.324-06:00Used the free version of picnic to fix the eyes on...Used the free version of picnic to fix the eyes on one of Sadie's pictures, it's kind of neat with a human, and pets position in the red eye fix. be safe out there.

Google bought Picnik a while back and are offering many of its features for free.<br /><br />The real value though is in the 'advanced' or 'premium' package which gives you access to Photoshop like editing including a great 'cloning' tool. I signed up for it and I think it was pretty reasonable if I remember correctly.Rickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16523089898331291694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7774004683471521654.post-36497480536502091062011-01-07T21:48:51.859-06:002011-01-07T21:48:51.859-06:00That is one very large pile of oyster shells.

I did play with both Picnic and Picasa and it does have some tools that come in handy however having a MAC computer I abandon Picasa in favor of using iPhoto and Adobe Photoshop Elements if I need more power in the editing. If I had the money I'd have Adobe Photoshop Lightroom which gives incredible tools to manipulate RAW photos but it is not in my budget. I had it on the Windows pc before we went to a Mac and it is my favorite program for dealing with large groups of photos.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17263191567454481794noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7774004683471521654.post-2527388373150793322011-01-07T21:10:02.788-06:002011-01-07T21:10:02.788-06:00I love seeing .... and taking .... pictures of nat...I love seeing .... and taking .... pictures of nature, and yours are no exception.
