Photo Editing: Manipulation

This was an urban shot and I wanted to emphasize that, choosing to make it grittier and black and white. I have included the original image below. Please click on image for a better … Continue reading Photo Editing: Manipulation

After Before at the Bus Stop
Stacy at Visual Venturing hosts After Before Friday. This week Loré Dombaj at Snow’s Fissures and Fractures graciously agreed to stand in while Stacy takes a break. This is my original image. I liked the shadows and lines but beyond that I found it uninteresting. There is no point of interest. I decided to give the girl on the right a greater role. In cropping I … Continue reading After Before at the Bus Stop

Photo Editing: ABFriday Week 35 One Photo Focus
Click on image to enlarge Step one for me is usually adjusting the lighting. I work in Sagelight and used the Smart Light to make minor adjustments. I liked the wet reflections on the sidewalk and wanted to keep and enhance that if I could. I didn’t like the semi-visible light standard to the right of centre so I wanted to either get rid of … Continue reading Photo Editing: ABFriday Week 35 One Photo Focus
