One quick picture from Edinburgh (day time)

Because it was winter in Edinburgh, the sun goes down at about 3:30pm.  And on Saturday it was sprinkling for most of the afternoon, so I only took one picture during the day.  I'll post a few of the pictures I took at night in the next entry.

I was inspired to try this shot because there was a photo on the wall of my hotel room that is similar to this, although much better of course.  :)

I converted this to a Sepia tone because I liked the effect.  Also, the stone of the monument is a brown and sepia color in general, so it picked up the tones very well without washing out as much as it would with a grey-scale conversion.  Unfortunately, the (very) grey sky was overblown as I tried to take several quick shot up into the mist during a minor break in the sprinkles.  Still, out of the three pictures I tried, this one turned out pretty good I think.  Enjoy!

As always, you can click on the images to see them in the full size I upload them in.
