Iphone Photography









Nikki-tip: I took all these pictures using my iphone and tweak it using the PS Express app, see you don't need high-end cameras, sometimes all you need is a little imagination...Happy-Snaps;P

Rescue Operation

OVEREXPOSED!!!

Sunog kumbaga sa tagalog... ang term ng mga photographer kapag overexposed or sobrang bright ng image...

I had a lot of overexposed images and I feel like it's my responsibility to rescue those photos...as I was browsing the youtube, I came to this Lightroom tutorial on how to use the gradient filter function.

I downloaded a free-trial version of Lightroom 3 for my laptop, and followed the instruction on that tutorial and applied it on my image. Okay w/o so much ado...this is the image I touched-up...



Below is the screen shot of before and after image:



You can see the big difference from the original photo. I know that there are other people who are skeptic on post-processed photos but there are instances that photos might have gone wrong (bright light coming from the sun, shadows, low-light...etc) no matter how good the photographer is. For me, as long as you do it for the justice of the beauty of an image you want to share to other people it's fine.

"Gusto kong makita niyo ang kulay at ganda ng mga bagay ng nakita ko at mamahangha katulad ko"...

Nikki-tip: Some of my friends keep asking me for some tips, I didn't attend any formal training, but there are a lot of tutorials out in youtube, blogs and websites such as Digital Photography School (one of the photography links included at the side of this blog). You got to read and read, surf and surf...and of course practice and practice and practice whatever you have learned...kahit ako inuulit-ulit ko pa rin sa sarili ko until now...So, happy-snaps;P
