Have you ever been a bit unhappy with how a photo turned out? Something a bit askew or colours washed out, or the subject didn’t have the same punch that it seemed to have i.r.l?
All of us have experienced that from time to time. The revolution in digital photography means that we can always take another shot.
Sometimes though, we want to play around a little and improve on the angle, colours, texture, of photos or add an filter or effect to it. Some of us prefer no filter, and that is fine, whilst others like ot have a little fun with their photos. Monochrome gives a nostalgic effect.
Friendly Friday – Photo Edits
This week on Friendly Friday your topic is ‘photo edits’. You can also choose to post the same photo two different ways if you don’t know of/have access to editing software, such as a before and after scenario.
It could be a before /after photo taken of the same subject at two different times, of the day or year/s, or at two different angles.
You might decide to simply crop a photo or add a fancy frame or effect. If you can, please include the original photo, so we can compare.
Here is another photo adding a graduated tint
Join in the fun, this week, on Friendly Friday. You are limited only by your imagination.

I always like to see shots before and after editing. It reveals a lot about the subject but I think even more about the photographer/editor. I’m offering a work in progress as I will go back there and try again: https://picturesimperfectblog.wordpress.com/2019/10/11/six-old-apple-trees/

I agree – and photography itself tells a lot about the photographer: what they saw, noticed, and deemed worthwhile 😊

So happy you like the challenge, Aletta. After I hit publish, I realized it could be similar to Snow’s last post, but it was then too late! Your comment reassured me.
I love what you have done with that photo. It emphasises the subject and brings our full attention to the complexity of the flower. Well done.

Thanks Amanda! I actually have been thinking but was too embarrassed to talk to you about it, considering I took so long! I will write to you soon and then you can suggest if that would work and we can take it from there?

This post was a draft that I was not planning to publish for a few weeks yet, but got busy and had to get something published quickly.

Great idea, I almost always change some aspect of my photos, sometimes making them look worse and then going back to the original!

Since I’m not a fan of (much) editing, I thought I didn’t have anything to post. And yet here is a record-breaking post with 34 photos! (Gasp!) They were all posted already on my first blog but still, it was interesting to look back.

Interesting challenge, and one that resonated with others this week. I haven’t tried sepia ever, so I tentatively dipped a toe into that sea: https://blackbodyblog.wordpress.com/2019/10/13/add-to-taste/
