A World in Color


Color is all around us, and it is our job to capture it. I would'nt consider myself a professional photographer, or a photographer at all, but everyone likes a good picture. Sometimes can't capture all that is seen by the human eye, and the final product appears almost in black and white.

What makes our mobile devices great is that we have all tools we need to make a vivid picture right at our fingertips. While most people try to enhance a picture by using filers such as Mayfair, Tonal, and Beach, the best way to better a photograph is to change the percentages of settings such as exposure, brightness, and sharpness. These options are usially found under the advanced setting in a photo editor.

The best pictures are made when the creator gets creative. The best shots in the world have a foreground and a background. When editing your picture, you can set a point to be more sharp than other parts of the picture. Such as in the picture of the yellow house.

Also, in the event that there a vivid foreground and back ground that should be showcased, take two pictures. In the first picture, tap a object in the foreground so that the yellow square with the sun is set there. Then, for the second picture, tap an object in the background, as done in the foreground. Finally, using a photo stiching app like Photoshop Mix (Free in the Appstore) Cut out the foreground of the first picture and place it over the second photo with the background, The results can be as stunning as the shot of the Boyscouts over the lake.

Apps I use to create these kinds of pictures come in many shapes and sizes, and there is an infinite amount of options. I recommend using Generate, Tangent, Photoshop Express, and even Instagram has these kind of advanced options when you click the crecent wrench on the filters page.

That's it for this Photographic Experience, Have a good one!
