Vignettes

Regular readers will know that I like to take "pretty" photos of my flowers and veg, as well as functional ones. This post shows off a few shots in which I have been using the editing facilities of Google's Picasa to give some photos the Vignette effect, with darkened edges as well as the usual frames. This effect tends to emphasize the main subject, whilst subduing the background.

Calendula

Calendula

Crocosmia

Echinacea

Verbena Bonariensis



"Indian Chilli Bullet"



Dahlia "Bishop of Llandaff"

These photos of bees and hoverflies are not vignettes, but I like them anyway...!
