Fun With Photo Editing

Rain is great in two situations.  It's lovely when you can be inside relaxing and listening to it and sometimes it makes really pretty designs when it lands on things.  Like the sunroof of my car.

So before I headed home on a wet and miserable commute, I snapped a shot of the rain from inside the car.  I like the original result, but I also thought it might be fun to play around with the photo editing software built into my laptop.   I'm not the most creative photo editor in the world, but I think a couple of these are pretty cool.


The first photo is the original, followed by 4 variations.

The Original Photo

Obviously my photo editing software is a little basic, but I'm not inclined to drop bucks on Photoshop at the moment.  If you're a photo nut like me, have you found any FREE photo editing software you like?  If so, please leave me a comment and I'll be grateful forever.

In the meantime, Happy Photographing!
