photography 101: making impact by cropping and colour balance (part 2)

Hye and welcome, on my last 'photography 101' post i have shown y'all a simple example on how to make a different to a photograph by just cropping,

today, i want to show how colour balance can further enhance the looks on your photograph, oh one more aspect in editting is exposure.  lets take our last example,

 

First off, tweaking the brightness and contrast of such photograph can dramatically enhanced its vividness. you might notice right away that there is more details on the waves and also the cloud.

 be careful not toset the contrast too high or the brightness to low bcos you will underexpose too much and darken the whole pix.

Next, do the cropping and set the colour balance. for this case, the picture is already at low colour temperature. if dont know wat colour temperature is just pretend y'all know okay? hehe. well anyway, for this particular pix, i have to set the reds much higher and the blue a bit lower. if u do it correctly, it'll go something like this,

 

cool eh, why dont u try it for urself, it'll be great!

here's another example,

okay, thats all for now, good luck!

oh, and dont forget to drop me a comment or two okay?

jya ne.
