As usual, we enjoyed some delicious fried shrimp at the Crab Trap. Then we strolled around downtown and the marina. There were many beautiful homes in the Fernandina Beach Historic District. As the week progressed, we got a little adventurous and took a trip to <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_Talbot_Island_State_Park" title="Wiki: Big Talbot Island State Park">Big Talbot Island State Park</a>. I was able to wake up a couple of mornings and take a few photos of the sunrise and a very photogenic sandpiper. I hope you enjoy the photos. <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/adamhamcom/2107824071/" title="View Fernandina Beach 2006">View Photos »</a></p>

The photo was covered with scratches, creases, and tears. Using the <a href="http://docs.gimp.org/en/gimp-tool-clone.html" title="Documentation: Clone Tool">Clone tool</a> in <a href="http://www.gimp.org/" title="GIMP Website">GIMP</a>, a popular photo editing software, I was able to remove the photo&#8217;s imperfections. The Clone tool in GIMP allows you to sample a specific portion in the photo and duplicate that portion elsewhere in the photo. You can simply think of it as a copy tool, copying portions of the photo from one place to another. I was able to take existing portions of the photo and copy them directly over the imperfections (scratches, creases, and tears). While the photo may not look exactly like it did in April of 1965, it is pretty close.

A <em>colour cast</em> is a tint of a particular color, usually unwanted, which affects the whole of a photographic image evenly [<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colour_cast" title="Wiki: Color Cast">wiki</a>]. By modifying the red channel with the <a href="http://docs.gimp.org/en/gimp-tool-curves.html" title="Documentation: Curves Tool">Curves tool</a>, we were able to remove the color cast; restoring the color to this photo that time had taken away.
