I’ve always been disappointed with the photos I take whenever I go travel. For instance, when I went on a roadtrip from NJ to CA the photos did not do the actual sights any justice. So I decided to save up some cash and purchase an SLR—I’m getting the Canon rebel t2i next week!!! However, as it turns out, photography is not all about the camera, it’s also about the post-modifications you make to your images. Anyway, I was messing around with photoshop lately and I really wanted to tweak this image I had of torrey pines in San Diego. It was a nice shot but it had poor lighting. Here’s the before and after photos: [caption id=”attachment_131” align=”aligncenter” width=”1024” caption=”Torrey Pines - Before Photo”][/caption] [caption id=”attachment_132” align=”aligncenter” width=”1024” caption=”Torrey Pines - After Photo”][/caption]

I basically adjusted hue, saturation, and lighting. Pretty cool huh? I know it might be overkill but I like it. =]
