Black & White

I love how changing a colored picture to black & white can dramatically change the appeal of the photo.
These photos were all taken in color and I just tweaked it a bit to give the images a more dramatic look. I really like the outcome. I'd like to try shooting in black & white more often as a way to expand my photo opportunities. I feel that if I'm looking for an image that would look great in b&w, it might allow for more inspiration.

Industrial

I have a feeling this is going to be the start of a beautiful relationship with Industrial photos.
Ever since I discovered the National Geographic website, I have been beyond inspired to take different types of photos that I would never have thought to snap before.

However, I'm still editing photos because I find with my camera it's hard to take a perfect photo unedited. Ugh! One day, I will have a better camera, one day.

I've also decided it's my dream to just take photos of the world from anywhere and everywhere which is why I need to make it my mission to travel at LEAST once a year to somewhere new. I just need to take photos of beautiful things, it's seriously the most exhilarating, heart pounding, most amazing feeling for me. When I took these photos, I'm pretty sure I was driving in a forbidden place and the rush of it was out of this world. And these photos aren't even that good! Haha. I just love it so much.

Just a Few More

I only have a couple more to share after this batch from my walk through the Waterfront.

I didn't realize how many photos I actually took! It's funny because when going through the pictures, I weeded out the ones I liked and put them into one folder and I'd be like "wow I really don't like this one but let's see what I can do with it.." That's when I'd get to editing and then I would fall in love with the end result...

So I guess moral of the story is .... edit your photos? :)

Proud Amateur

It's amazing what kind of magic can happen with a few tweaks to brightness, contrast, colour, tint & saturation!

I know they're not the best or anything and I'm way BELOW amateur level, but I'm super proud of these photos.
