So you've just returned from a nice, long and very beautiful tour. Now that you are back the memories are strong and reinforced with what you hope are some great pictures of the things you saw during your journey.
This article discusses different ways that you can edit your photos electronically to attempt to capture the essence of your pictures.
In this case a picture is truly worth a thousand words. In most of the sections that follow there are two photos in each picture.
The photo on the left is the original photo. The only editing completed on that photo was to resize it to fit the combo-picture.
The photo on the right is the picture following photo editing. I will try to explain what I changed and why in the caption area of each picture.
You are likely interested in knowing my background so here it is.
Last year I took a disposable camera with me on my Round Lake Erie tour only at the strong recommendation of my friends.
In the year following that tour I reviewed those pictures so many times that I picked up my first digital camera, a Pentax Optio 33WR. It's a waterproof camera meaning that I could take it everywhere with me and I did!
Between the Round Lake Erie and Round Lake Huron tours I took over 5600 pictures. Each one of these pictures taught me something and hopefully the contrast in pictures between my Lake Erie and Lake Huron tours reflects this.
Today I consider myself a beginner photographer. I've learned much in the last year but there is still much more to learn. I guess the solution will be some more tours eh? (grin)
Most of my pictures came from my Round Lake Erie and Round Lake Huron tours. Both tours can be found at the following link:
Most of the pictures in this article have been modified in one of the following ways:
Unfortunately the pictures that were poor shots to begin with can seldom be salvaged and although they are kept, they rarely go into my photo journal.
"TAKE the time needed to make SURE that you have a good picture. Don't rush it since you will likely regret it later"!
