See the difference in the original (top) and then look at what "Auto Levels" does in Photoshop for the bottom picture. It seems to me to be hit or miss. Occasionally I will look at my pictures and they just don't come out with the same colours as I see them with my eyes at the time of the picture. I'll do the Auto Levels thing and it will correct it to look as it did when I snapped the picture. Other times it just completely changes it to unrealistic colours. Then on this Blogger website, sometimes my pictures change colours when I post them, or when you click for the full view, they will be drastically different. One reason why perhaps prints are a better idea. But, sadly, I rarely get prints made.
Every so often I get exhausted thinking about the various cycles that make up life. Often it is the seasons. I start to think about how wonderful it is going to be when spring is here and then I think of how horrible it will be when winter is back again and how it always comes around and will never go away. On the weekends I am bothered by the time it gets to Sunday afternoon, that I have to go back to work on Monday (it always happens to me, why?! well, I suppose this isn't a good weekend example as I actually don't have work tomorrow). It seems like a never-ending cycle of work, weekend, work, weekend, work, weekend.... I don't want to continually get depressed every weekend because I have work coming up again, nor do I want to spoil spring/summer/fall because I see winter looming. How do we break up those cycles? When it gets really bad, I begin to think of life as made up of all these cycles and I think, "Is this all there is? These cycles that will go on for years and years and years?" Life seems really tiring if you think of it like that. It's like those times when you start to get annoyed that you have to go to the bathroom or shower or figure something out to eat yet again and you think "Why do I have to use my time going to the bathroom so often?!" No? That's just me that thinks that? Oh.... :P
