Experimenting Photoshop

All these while, I thought all those nice photos were achieved from photographing using super cool DSLR cameras. Oh boy I was so naive! Yes, we will get nice sharp photos from DSLR, but those super cool effects were actually born through post processing! There are tons of post processing tutorials online, which I find very useful and also an eye opening, haha. Welcome to the power of Photoshop! While I prefer originality, I can't deny the magic of Photoshop, even if its just a pinch only yet photos will definitely look different.

Here's what I've achieved as a starter. Left: original photo, right: after Photoshop. Photos were taken around my condo at night.

Notice how mood of photo is totally changed! The rows of swings? (no idea what they are called) seems so peaceful, like resting for the night after children were playing with them during the day.

I don't know why but I really like B&W photos! B&W is so classic and I will never get bored looking at B&W photos! Minimal in colors, yet so powerful and unique.

I'm just attracted to the bench beside the lamp post, and reflection of lights against the tree.

Peeking through the leaves! I love those lines! Me weird huh? :)
