The shot was originally shot in black in white, but the computer did not know that and was presented as a shot in colour, but sitll grey. What I did was to saturate a bit the red and unsaturate the blue.

I had not realised that The Gimp was installed on my parents' computer, otherwise I would posted more. On Christmas Day, I somehow got an idea. My parents had this old camera. When I say old, it is old, maybe start of 19th century of something like that. It does not work anymore but the optics is still in "good" shape, meaning you can still see through. I applied my aunt's camera (Canon 3SIS) in front of the eyepiece of this antiquity and I got a few shots including today's.
