Photography Phriday

Hi Everyone.
Denise here to bring you another edition of Photography Phriday.
I am so excited to be writing this post, although, let me say right up front, that I am strictly an amateur when it comes to taking photographs.
I love it, but I am constantly learning…and in the process of learning I take LOTS of just so-so photographs. LOL!
But, without photographs, there are no scrapbook pages (or at least, not very many!) So, what do you when you want to scrap something but your photographs aren’t great?
Here is a photograph of my son Josh and his friend Jared.
This is a photo of Josh’s fifth birthday, and although I took many photos that day, this was really the only one that seemed worth scrapping. But, I didn’t love it!
So, what should I do?
Well, I tried cropping it.
But, I still didn’t feel like it was great. So what now?
Well, it occured to me, that I could crop this photo twice, and create two separate photos that I really liked, instead of trying to keep one photo that didn’t thrill me.
This is much better already!
And, then, with a little color pop (which Erica showed us how to do here), and a defog (which Britt is going to show us in the upcoming October newsletter), I wound up with this:
I am so happy with these photos now, and I really feel like they captured the day.
I hope that this got you thinking.
The next time you have a photo that is just so-so, be creative…and find a way to make it work for you.
Happy Scrapping!
Denise
