New experiment on hive.
Photo Editing Experiment #1
Do you want to be part of this experiment?
All you have to do is to post a comment with a photo of yours.
Here is how it works:
- You comment with a photo of yours - unedited - the higher resolution the better
- I will edit your photo in my style in Photoshop and Lightroom
- In the next edition of the experiment I will post your photo next to my edited version (before and after the edit) also I will mention you there.
The purpose of this experiment is to find other people that love photography like I do and to give you some ideas for editing your photos.
Sometimes you ignore some photos because you don't like at the first sight, but many of them can be saved, so lets make the world a better place and save the forgotten photos 😂
I get more practice, you get an idea how to edit your photos and we can grow together in a beautiful and active hive.
Photos are edited in my style depending and on photos I might boost the colors and lights or I might crop it for better composition or even make it black and white for a dramatic effect.
Not sure how many will participate but I will try to edit as many photos I can. Also if you send me perfect photos will be really hard to improve something to it 🙂 so make sure they are normal, unedited photos.
I think it is a fun and interesting experiment and you don't have nothing to loose.
Photos need to be taken by you, I will not use your photos in any other way, I will edit them and post in the next edition and mention you, that is all.
YOU HAVE 3 DAYS TO COMMENT WITH YOUR PHOTO - STARTING NOW

As you can see some things help to improve the photos:
- contrast give some impact to the photos
- we are attracted to light, so you can darken the areas that are not important and lighten the subject
- you can also do that with clarity/texture the subject is more clear and the background is more blurred
- then colors help a lot, you can boost the colors and to get a better separation you can create transitions like you can have warm color light and cool shadows
- crop the photos for better composition, straighten them
- remove unnecessary parts that are distracting the viewer, cables, spots etc.
What do you think about this experiment? Will you participate? Do you have any questions?
I am inviting some of my friends to participate or to give their opinion about this experiment 🙂
