Couldn't pass this up. It was sitting in the county sheriff's office parking lot so I did a quick picture opp. Still learning how to use this digital camera so I apologize for the lighting.

Actually, in this case I like the old-fashion patina the first images have.

OR

Use a good photo editor again, and give it a Sepia tone, making it really old fashioned looking!


Either way, beautiful picture, and way to take advantage of a opportunity!

Oh, BTW, you wouldn't have been able to do much with your digital camera as far as lightening it up unless you had an add-on flash for it. You did just fine given the equipment! That's where photoshop comes in!
