Editing BEFORE vs. AFTER

My favorite blog posts seem to be pre and post editing photos. It is truly impressive how an okay picture can become something amazing from a few simple edits. Here is the before and after editing photos for my picture that went to print. I almost forgot how far the photo had come until I just placed these photos next to each other and analyzed the original photo. I am quite happy with how the editing on this photo ended up. 

Same place landscape // but two very different images!

**Here are two images of the same landscape of a wheat field but one has the background in focus while the other has the background blurred. I like how the first image seems to let the viewer look at the image as a whole landscape going into the background as it follows the wheat back. And I also appreciate how the second image seems to let the viewer focus on the wheat alone while almost ignoring the background of the hill, the mountain, and the sky.

Animal Comedy Photography

It is always exciting to capture some amazing photos of nature and wildlife, but these photos show how it can be fun to catch animals in funny situations.



This image was the Affinity Photo People's Choice Award: "Oh My" by Harry Walker and for good reason before I even saw that this was the people's choice award this was by far my favorite image this cute little sea otter has the best expression!

Best editing tool ever! DEHAZE

I have been most impressed and shocked with how much this one simple edit can make on a photo. The color that is brought out in this example is quite satisfying for something that is so simple and does not take a ton of editing to achieve.
