{Simple Editing}

One of the many things I have learned in photo school this year, is to spend more time ‘shooting’ the correct way, and spend less time editing.  Time is money right?  The  more time you spend sitting at your computer, is less time you have to shoot.  As my professor Rhonda Hole would state, “Do it right the first time”.

Here’s in a example of my ‘editing’ steps… the first image is straight out of the camera (RAW) format.  The second image is the steps that I took to edit it.  You can see how a few simple tweaks, can actually make an image blossom!

{Shot with a Nikon D90,  A 90mm f2.8 Tamron Portrait Lens, Edited in Lightroom and CS5}

Adjusted the levels a little along with the brightness/contrast
With the sponge tool, saturated the suitcase a bit
Used the Florabella ‘Wheat’ Action to bring out the colors
Sharpened the image and VOILA!

{Very simple editing, but makes a great difference}
