Just imagine dubstep over the top...

Fishing in the Sunset

Hiya!

Sorry about the delay, I've been busy (posts on that later) and the WiFi died yesterday, leaving me confused and distraught.

It's alright now though, it's been sorted out and I'm reunited with my precious(ssssssss).

...anyone get it?

Anyway, I'm giving you something different today. I was messing around with the editing of this photo a bit more than I usually do, though nothing too drastic. And so I'm going to show you a few versions of the same photo with only Vibrance, Saturation, Brightness and Contrast changes.

Original (All 0)

Vibrance 20, Saturation 20, Brightness 5, Contrast 75

Vibrance 20, Saturation 20, Brightness 120, Contrast 100

Vibrance 40, Saturation 40, Brightness 100, Contrast 100
My favourite one

Vibrance 50, Saturation 50, Brightness 50, Contrast 75

So yeah, with no other editing except those, you can transform a photo loads. I'd say the fourth image is my favourite, though the darker second image is also quite nice.

This photo was taken on the jetty at my friend's farm. It's a really gorgeous place, massive, and has this huge lake with islands in it.

And also, there's a sunset. I love sunsets, that time of day is my favourite for taking photos because everything becomes golden and warm, and longer shadows make the most awesome shapes. It's called the 'Golden Hour' in photography, the time each day just after sunrise (which I would like to experience at some point if I can get myself out of bed) and just before sunset.

It's a really pretty time of the day. Try taking photos at this time if you want to (consider this a tip?), especially shooting 'towards' the light so you get cool silhouettes with light flares.

Photography may have ruined me.

I love you

Tomatoes

Hiya!

This photo was taken in Cornwall, in one of the villages I visited there.

I was walking along and waited behind the tomatoes to let someone past, so decided to take a photo whilst I was there.

Don't worry, hiding behind barrels of tomatoes is not a frequent activity of mine ;)

I love the focus on the tomatoes in the rustic barrel, and the colourful banners across the street in the background.

This photo reminds me of calm, quaint country villages and bustling shoppers at the same time. It may just be me, as when I see this photo, I see a calm scene. But I hear the noises that were around me at the time I shot this, and those were loud chatter and car engines.

Of course, you wouldn't know that, so maybe this photo isn't as great to you as it is to me?

It takes me back to the summer holidays, and that's the best thing about this.

In terms of editing (some people might be interested), I don't do much to my photos. I prefer capturing better shots rather than sitting editing for hours on a computer, though that's just my personal opinion.

I added some warmth to this photo, to make it glow a little more. It's not something I usually do, though I just felt it lacked the warmth in this particular one. I also increased the saturation/vibrance and the contrast, the things that make my photos a whole lot better.

My tip - for any photo, increase the contrast. Some require more, some less, that's all up to you. But doing this makes any scene look much cooler :)

Welcome To Night Vale Photos!

Hiya!

Finally lol...

Better late than never, I guess :)

Excuse the horrible phone camera quality, please! It's shameful :(

I've tried my best with editing but some things just don't want to cooperate...

Fabulous, 100%

It was a really amazing night <3

Paris Adventures Day 4 (15/8/15) - Palace of Versailles & Gorgeous Gardens

Hiya!

Day four took me to the wonderful Palace of Versailles and its absolutely amazing grounds. I spent the whole day there, first exploring the palace itself then spending hours walking between the various groves in the garden. I went all the way down to the bottom too, to the Trianon Palaces and estate of Marie Antoinette.

It was fun, but my legs ended up killing me and I physically pulled my legs at the end when no one was looking... I also didn't have any money, so couldn't buy any lunch, and I couldn't find my mum (who should have been waiting by the palace but had unfortunately gone to get lunch when I went to find her).

So I walked for hours and hours, with no water, food, and only a dying camera for company. It sounds terrible and you're probably wondering why I stayed so long...

Well, the truth is it was just too gorgeous. At first, I wanted to skip the smaller fountains and groves, but I quickly realised that they were all different and all wonderful in their own ways. So, I guess I shouldn't complain, I brought it all upon myself.

Anyway, here are the photos. The weather started off really bad, so the pictures don't look very lovely, it's all grey and dull. But it gets better, sort of. In the end, I could only take one shot and then my camera would die so I couldn't check my photos. But that's where the art of editing comes in :)

And boy, did I edit them...

Hall of Mirrors ft. too many tourists

So fancy!

Garden pictures now :)
It's a shame the first half are so grey...

The blue scarf guy was being filmed there and I'm not sure what for but I scraped in anyway ;)

I love this

Funky

Also funky

I want this room >.<

Temple of Love <3

I watched a really cool fountain show where the water moved in time with the music. It was really pretty :)

I love you
