While I Was Waiting

Today i decided to get my car cleaned at a car wash. It was the kind of place where you drive in, hand over the keys and some poor bugger cleans your car out in the cold winter wind while you sit back and relax. Sure, i had to pay a premium for this service, but while my car was being vacuumed, hand washed and polished, i was sitting on a lounge in the cafe, sipping on a cappuccino and cooking up some photo edits using iPhoto. Time well spent as far as i am concerned.

I was quite impressed by the look i was able to achieve in iPhoto using only a few tools (contrast, saturation, white balance). It might not have all the bells of whistles of Adobe Photoshop, but it can give a simple photo a bit of pop. I think these photos are proof that you don't always need Photoshop to work a little magic into a photo, although i won't be uninstalling Photoshop CS5 anytime soon haha.
