A little of England

[mels501]

Here are a few from my trip to England just before Thanksgiving. I'm still new at the whole photography thing, and post processing is just so hard for me. I only use Picasa. What do you thinkg?

Looks like you travelled around the South-East quite a bit :)
Your processing looks good, but one thing to watch out for is to keep the horizons level.

Cool! Any piccies from there?
I write a popular local Tunbridge Wells blog (http://anke.blogs.com) if you're interested. I've written a bit about Pembury before in there somewhere :)

Great series, well done. Really like photos #2, #3 and #4.

you just need to know 3 things in post processing (IMO)... Learn about Levels/Curves, Sharpening (Unsharp mask) and maybe Saturation/Hue. Other than that, you should be good until you get more adventurous (but if not, those simple adjustments should last you long time)
