Playing With A New Phone App

quick edit on one of my photos, not really knowing what I am doing. How does it look?

2008 Yamaha V-Star 1300

It looks over processed.

I imagine the original RAW shot looks great.

I was playing with HDR filters and was looking for a little over processed. I like the way it made the sky pop. Here are the raw and edited ones so you can see them both.

I am one of those "less is more" when it comes to photo processing. HDR is not meant to make a photo appear to be a cartoon, it is meant to help bring out some washed out details. Using a "filter" instead of taking the RAW (not jpg) image and creating another image one stop up in exposure and one stop down in exposure, then layering those 3 images while doing some magic with levels and masks produce a picture closer to what actually existed, not a coloring book photo.

However, all that and a $1.25 will get you a coke. It really comes down to what you like.

I messed with the picture a bit, hope you don't mind. I really enjoy photos and editing them. I tweaked the color a bit and made the sky pop in the chrome. Added a focal point and brought the contrast to heel.

What app is it?


Practice makes perfect as they say

its called snapseed. available for iphone and android.

I dont mind others playing around with the picture. Hell, if I like one enough, I might just use it somewhere and give you credit for the edit job.

I tried another edit, going a little more subtle on it this time. I think it looks more natural than my first edit.

I second this idea.

You made a very dull picture in concrete, excellent .... well done.

I dont mind the look, but it was already a pretty good pic, perhaps just a change of saturation and contrast would spruce her up.

the bike looks sweet no mater what filter
