…because Photography is my Creativity

AHHH! I’ve got to remember to keep blogging, geez.

Ok, so I took a few pictures today of my animals. That’s pretty much it…

To me winter time is the worst time to take pictures…why? Because everything is so dead and hazy, ack! Unless you live in a tropical area, winter time can be pretty boring when it comes to picture taking…of course, when it snows….that’s a WAY different story. The snow is an awesome sight, taking a photo of it however may not be quite so amazing. I personally have not had the experience of taking a snow photo, but hopefully I will have that chance this year. I will let you know how it goes . For now however, here are the photos I took today…

This picture is very cute…there’s nothing like a dog and cat laying side by side that says adorable. However, do you notice the dead grass, and the dead bush next to the animals? Ahh, that messes up the cuteness of the photo…well, sort of. But my point is, that it’s quite hard to get a decent picture in the dead of winter when the sun isn’t shining very well. But…thanks to my photo editing program, I can make the picture different without editing it so much that it looks fake…

See? All I did was change it to black and white. It takes away from the deadness and adds a dramatic effect to it don’t you think? Personally I love it in black and white, looks like it should be on a black and white calendar to me .

Here’s my next set of photos…

Now, this may not have to do with the fact that it’s winter outside, but this picture really doesn’t have much color…it’s not the greatest picture in the world but the kitty sure is cute. I didn’t do much to this next picture because I was just demonstrating how wonderful digital photo editing can be…

All I did was add a quick little frame around it…sure it’s not the best, but it does add to the photo. Ah the joys of photo editing .

I didn’t do much to these next two photos either, but there’s a big difference in how they look from each other.

This is not such a bad picture by itself, but I can change it up a bit by just a few clicks of my mouse and viola!…

A new look and feel .

Those are just a few examples of how you can manipulate your digital photos. Isn’t digital photography awesome?!?
