It’s been pictures galore in our house, and we only have one subject; Avery. No surprise, huh? This week’s My Sunday Photo is of Avery staring out of our windows where a new house is being built behind us.
We’ve been watching the workers quickly and efficiently construct the two story house that seems to dwarf our one story, but hopefully the new neighbors will be nice!
I have no clue what I’m doing when it comes to editing photos, but figured I’d have fun and see what I can come up with. Here is the original photo:
Cute, of course, because, when isn’t she? But here is what I came up with. I just messed around with the basics like hue, brightness, etc. and added a blur effect.
What do you think? Too much? Any quick tips on how to make photos a little more lively? I want to try doing a black and white one but having just one part in color. What is that called?
I must say I nearly always add a little brightening to my photos, on instagram especially. they are so small there to make an impact I think you need slightly too much to get noticed.
I do the same on instagram, and definitely agree with you. Thanks for visiting and commenting!
I think it is a beautiful photo with or without effects. I have only just started exploring some basic editing concepts and I’m not very clever with it, but sometimes they can make some of the least obvious shots look really striking.
I know, hopefully I can turn dull pics into something special one day soon! Good luck on your editing journey and thanks for commenting!
gorgeous with or without effects. I always use picfx to make my photos to stand out a little bit.
Thank you, Gemma, I’ve never heard of picfx but will check it out now. Have a great day!
They are just beautiful! You did well x
Thank you, Kim, always appreciate your comments!
Beautiful photos. If you want an app to use give Snapseed a look, great for editing photos.
Thank you for linking up
Appreciate the comment, Darren, and I’ll check out Snapseed. Although, Gary made a good point, so now I need to take other pics to edit!
That girl doesn’t need edited she is adorable!
Thank you, Gary, great point! Guess that’ll give me some free-time now that I don’t need to edit! 🙂
I usually use picmonkey and just do auto correct. But if I have time i play with the exposure and brightness.
She looks so adorable as always =) #mysundayphoto
Yeah, I love auto correct sometimes, but other times I feel it makes it worse. I like picmonkey or iPiccy myself. Thank you as always, Merlinda!
