These are some photos that exemplify what can be done with your photos. The range is endless as are the choices.
The top photo is of our grand daughter when on vacation. The photo on the left is all right, but there are some distrac-tions. It was a cloudy day so that made the picture a bit flat. In pulling her out and onto a plane background with some added contrast, made a great picture.
The night scene was spectacular to the eye, but a camera cannot record what the eye sees. By blending the photo with two photo-graphs from my collec-tion, it made a much more interesting scene.
A word of caution here - if you do decide to use someone else’s photos, be certain they are not copy protected. This should not be a prob-lem, there are many fine photographs that are public domain.
This guy. .
(not mentioning any names) has had a few extra helpings of the good stuff. No problem, a little tweak here and a little there, and walla, Mister Atlas.
These dogs are as cute as can be, but there was no decent background with which to shoot. The dog on the right was trying to get me with his lazer eyes. So. . .with some due diligence I removed them from their favorite chair and with a mirror successfully bounced the lazer back into his eyes.
I choose this picture because of it's poten-tial. The forground in-cludes some bushes which I could have eliminated if I were 20 feet taller. The back-ground would have been nicer if I was here 75 years earlier.
So click on the picture and see the improve-ment possible with retouching.
