Got a Good Photo? Don't Mess With It

Living Through the Lens

You captured the shot, but now you would like to put on the finishing touches.  Well, a professional photographer would warn you to be careful with Image Editing.  In an instant you can take a great photo from "nice shot" to "why didn't you leave it alone".


In the article PHOTO EDITING FADS by blogger Let Birds Fly, Bailey gives us excellent examples of some the pitfalls of photo editing.

Bailey's Advice

"when editing, think about what you would say about your photos in 10 years. Would you still love that "vintage" effect, or would you think, "What was I thinking?!" :) Try to stay with what looks real. Play around a little with the fads, but in moderation."
