Mornings

When you're up at the crack of dawn most of the mornings you have nice company while awakening...

Levels

Everyone can these days take and publish photos thanks to cellular phones and social medias. Unfortunately way too many of those images are of lesser quality in spite of excellent image editing software being readily available cheaply or even free of charge. It could be quite easy to get the pictures to stand out instead of being bland.

A company posted this image straight from a phone on Instagram, I have taken it as it is and in three quick steps made it more appealing.

First alteration that was made to it was to boost the shadows to make it slightly more dramatic.

Next order of business was to increase the contrast to boost the red tones.

Finally the balance between light and dark tones were shifted to make the different reds blend better.

Artful nature

Urban Wild

Often when I go out on a photo walk I have a predetermined theme for which kind of motifs I will choose mainly, for todays little excursion the theme was "urban wildlife" which basically is when nature reclaims land we have taken into possession.

Worm

You want me to put that little wormlike thingie where? It's a hillbilly yuck moment...

A study in yellow

Went for a walk in the woods the other day and of course the Alpha was with me. Here's a small study in yellow from the walk.
