Casting a Shadow

My favourite and most used editing app when it comes to photos, is Adobe’s Lightroom

You have to sign up to adobe but that’s about it! Most of the features are free, obviously you can pay to access the whole package, but I find you have more than enough features without having to pay.

On this image, I enhanced the shadows and contrast to add depth and definition to the image.

What do you think?

For this one, I added more black tones to the podiums so that the green grass in the distance stood out.

Light at the end of the tunnel!

Statue

It’s important to keep going.

If you have a dream that you wish to peruse, keep going. That’s the only advice I can give you.

There have been so many times I have failed in my photography. I’ve bought products that wouldn’t sell, I’ve paid for adverts in local magazines that haven’t received much attention and my sales haven’t been amazing.

But do I give up? Do I stop?

Absolutely not.

You see, that’s how you succeed.

Could you imagine if you gave up and the next day was your winning day?

I know it’s hard, but keep that head up.

Don’t be a statue and freeze and stop altogether.

Keep going.

Living The Dream

I love taking photographs.

There is just something so magical about being amongst nature with a camera.

I feel confident. I feel empowered. But mostly, I feel so happy.

A week ago I had the privilege of being in nature with my camera.

Paradise.

It’s quite simple in gaining this rainbow effect in the image. It happens most when I use my phone to take pictures. It’s all about playing with the light and allowing the sunshine to bounce and curve off the lens.

For the above effect, I turned my phone upside down so that the lens was on the ground. This way, it skims the bark and adds a density to the image.

I love playing around with photography. You’re never too advanced to keep experimenting.

Central Sensation

When taking photos, I LOVE it when objects are in the centre.

For me, it draws the eye to the centre piece of the image.

It’s so simple, yet highly effective.

When you look at a photo, your subconscious starts your eye to the top left of the image – as this is how you read.

So when taking photographs, I bear this in mind.

Light Trails

In photography, light trails are when you can see the pattern that is left from lights.

These can be done using your torch on your phone, a coloured filter over a light source, through a glass for added effects – anything. Although, you will need a camera, or camera equipment that allows you to alter the shutter speed.

A slower shutter speed allows the above effect. I usually have the shutter speed on 10 seconds. Doing so at night, gives a better effect than during the day. If you want lights, nighttime is the time.
