Find a spare couple of hours at the weekend and we're becoming partial to stretching our legs and going for a walk [a longer walk each time]. The last trip was back to Stony Creek one of the closest Metroparks to us. While we didn't catch any glimpses of lots of crazy American wild animals like last time we did catch some photographs of some amazing wild flowers, heard rustling of chipmunks and saw swelling rivers from the last thunderstorm. When it comes to landscape photography I always feel my work is lacking somewhat. I always find it harder to take images of vast vistas in comparison to my micro work so I always end up tinkering endlessly with them in editing programs - yet I can never just find one to stick with. Here we have everything from the lomo to Polaroid plus. Do I use too many? Who knows.
Do you stick to one photo editing style or do you mix and match depending upon the subject matter? Would love to hear!

It was - we can get really lucky with the weather!
DeleteThese are awewsome photos in NYC we don't have "woods" so we have to go upstate to go see the woods. I wish I had that near by my house. And to answer your question, I edit the pictures depending on the color of the subject matter.
ReplyDeleteWe're lucky that most of the metroparks are within a half hour drive, shame we can't really walk to them but gorgeous drive there nevertheless. Even though they are still in the metropolitan area they make you feel like you're in the middle of nowhere.
DeleteI think your landscape photography (and the words that accompany it) are wonderful. What a beautiful area you live in, that bird looks like he's wearing a wig! x
ReplyDeleteNow you've mentioned it, he totally does, doesn't he?! That or he's styling a Mohawk haha!
DeleteI think, for me, it really depends on the mood of the subject. Some events are better viewed through a certain effect to paint a better picture of the mood. Like certain edits showcase the event better and give a feel of being present for the event. If any of that made sense! =D Beautiful location for some gorgeous photos!

That makes lots of sense!
DeleteI struggle with that too. I don't want my photos to be too edit-y but sometimes I want to give them something else. These photos look great! Just keep playing around :) :) :) Happy Friday!
ReplyDeleteYeah - I guess the more you play the more you teach yourself and you find that one editing piece that really makes your work pop!
DeleteThanks for stopping by my blog :) and yes, I can't wait to cover the diy cupcake towers with cupcakes :)
ReplyDeleteI LOVE these photos! My favorite has got to be the last one!
