tonight, i took a few photos of one of my bikes in the garage. the light was low and i was just using the camera on my palm centro, nothing special when it comes to photo quality. i did something different tonight, though, i shot them originally in b&w. then, i pulled them up using the gnu image processor (gimp) and, yes, it seems i'm a one trick pony, but i had some fun messing around with contrast. have a look-see...
here, the original didn't seem that interesting, it's actually a picture that had enough light to see detail and was pretty clear. that, however, didn't appeal to me.
soo... i cranked up the contrast.

messing with brightness and contrast thresholds
using the colorcurve to lighten the photo up.
original
colorcurve, again, to just lighten it up without overdriving the contrasts
pushing the limits of contrast vs. brightness
