Flutterby™! : photo tricks

You know how sometimes you want to get a photo out of a scene soooo badly? I carried my full camera bag into the city and the day was boring and clear, so I grabbed the "sunset" filter out of my bag, a graduated orange, and tried playing with the clouds over the city. On the right is yet another shot of the San Francisco skyline from the boat on a clear day, on the left is playing about with the filter. I'm not saying it's a good thing, just saying it is.
