Still more pictures from the UCLA campus...

I was out last week wandering around UCLA with my camera, from around sunset into the early evening. This time I had my Canon 17-55 EF-S f2.8 IS. I spent most of my time shooting a particular building, and I will upload a selection of photos from that in a few days, but in the meantime here are some shots from elsewhere on campus...

One thing of slight interest in this latest batch is that I used perspective correction in the GIMP on a number of photos. I have had the GIMP installed for some time but haven't used it much, then a friend of mine recommended I take advantage of the perspective correction tool, and sure enough, it works quite nicely. From here on out I will probably be applying perspective correction fairly frequently to my wide-angle architectural shots. Overall, after using the GIMP to edit these photos, I was impressed. It has come a long way from earlier versions I played with that were generally a bit hard to use. The user interface is now much more straightforward.
