If you are like me, you have already seen too many black and white photos with just one element, usually red, left in the original colour, so you'll have to excuse me while I try to unearth the different tools made available in Lightroom.

The lonely feeling of a deserted beach on Iceland. Taken on a beautiful day in early summer at the southern-most point of Iceland, nobody was brave enough to try the waters :-)

All sounds absorbed by the fog, a 'ghost' ship slowly materializes.

PS: I realize that WebShots.com is down and my previous posts are all lacking photos. Hopefully they get back online soon.

I used to wear my Garmin GPSmap 60C GPS receiver on my coat and tracked my movements and downloaded the GPS track unto my computer where a freeware program could match the EXIF timestamp of the photo with a location in the track. Nowadays I use a tool in Picasa2 and drag the photos over the Google Earth map. A great addition to this would be to allow Google Earth to export a series of photos as a Travelogue in HTML to be used on Blogger / Blogspot so that instead of a number of sequential posts, you add points to a map view and by clicking through you get to the photo and description.

You can't walk by this bench in summer and it is used by cyclists taking a break; all snow covered nobody had been paying attention to it all day.
