I was never planning on posting this, but Geoff's post about the Belfast Ale festival (somewhere I've yet to manage to get to) put me in mind of a picture I took last week while out and about.

A few weeks back, I decided to start carrying my camera as much as possible. My rationale simply being I'm trying to learn how to take a picture and a lot of that is the ability to spot one. If I have the camera, I have no excuse but to play with it...

Anyway, last Monday I got coerced into a 'single' pint after work and before my train. Well.... several pints and missed trains later... I give you

Beer, Nectar of the Gods.

Before you ask, yes I may have tweaked it a little. Essentially I reduced the colour thresholds to intensify the colour of the beer before using that selective colourisation trick to mask it through onto a black and white foreground.

The edging of the beer isn't great, it really was just me messing for five minutes. But, as I said, Geoff's beer post made me decide it was enough of a brew to put up.

Oh, and in case you're interested, mines a pint of Stella...
