Before and After | Photo Editing Fun

Posted in Before and After

It’s been awhile since I have participated in i heart faces fix it friday.  They post a photo every week for readers to edit to their own style.  Thanks to Amy Renea for the use of her photo of the most adorable little red head!

I first removed the stray hairs and cleaned up the patches of flaky skin.  Then onto color correction to remove the magenta tones in his skin.  I did a few different levels adjustments to fix what started as an underexposed photo.  I love a bright image and wanted to bring out that vibrant red hair.  I ran portraiture and brightened his eyes after applying an overall texture to the photo which brought out the warm tones and enhanced the colors in the background.  What a fun photo to play with!

Seeing The World From A Whole New Perspective | Stewartville, MN iPhoneographer

Posted in Personal, The Great Outdoors

Buying the iPhone4S last fall has been a game changer for me.  I love having the amazing photo capabilities without having to carry a point and shoot camera with me wherever I go.  And because I always always always have my phone, it really makes it so easy to capture life, the little details along the way and the moments as they happen.  That is so much harder to do when I have to carry my big DSLR with me.

I participate in a 365 day photo challenge with my iPhone and post frequently to Instagram.  Once you are in the app, you see so many gorgeous photos and it makes you curious…how did they take those AMAZING closeups or cool wide angle shots?  Well, one of the tricks of the trade is by using the OLLOCLIP!

The Olloclip is a handy little set of lenses that attach to your iPhone.  They completely change the way you look at things.  You can get super close with the macro lens, get a wide angle view of a scene or even get a funky 180 degree view with the fisheye lens.  It is so much fun to pull out the lenses and capture a different take on things!

Here’s an example of each of three lenses is action:

Macro

Fisheye

Wide Angle
