Resurrected Fuji S7000, Walk Recce and Picasa Effects

Been full of cold this week so I've been hibernating since last weeks walk with the ramblers. I did however manage a walk out yesterday, Thursday the 19th of January. I took my oldest camera, my Fuji S7000 with me. It was it's unreliability and repair costs that caused it to be shelved. Although It's still problematic, I've found with perseverance I can take half decent pictures with it.

Here are a few of the pictures I took. I've also been playing with some of Picasa's new features.
In the sequence that follows, the first picture is the untouched original, the second the Picasa effect.

I don't know  ?

They add a different slant to the photographs, I reckon they'd certainly be beneficial perhaps in a publication.

The last two do it for me.
