I let Faith do all of the photography for our trip to Japan because she brought her DSLR. When I saw them on Facebook, I noticed she had played with the colors on some before posting them… a lightbulb went off in my head. I took the original photos she had given me and decided to do some editing of my own.
When we were in Osaka, we walked through the shopping district and came across a river. The view was really pretty so we took a few photos. There were a lot of shadows and as novice photographers, it was hard for us to really capture the moment.
After playing around in Lightroom, I transformed the photo above into one I’m really happy with. What do you think?

Wow! I love that black and white edit! It’s beautiful, and it really brings out the architecture more. 🙂 What exactly is this “Lightroom”? If you don’t mind me asking. 🙂

Thank you!!! Lightroom is a type of photoshop. I am pretty new to it, but it’s a great way to play around with the color of your photos. This may give a better explanation. http://www.oreillynet.com/digitalmedia/blog/2007/05/many_photographers_are_still_a.html
Hi Meagan! Thanks for sending me the link! That was actually really helpful. 🙂 I found an app for Lightroom on my iPad so I’ll definitely try it out, and if I like it a lot then I’ll buy the full version. 🙂 I do my editing on an iPad so… so Mac stuff for me. 😛
You are so smart! Must take after somebody besides your Nana, I could never do that!
Thanks, Nan! Happy birthday! I’ll see you in a week!
Welcome to Fun Foto Challenge!!! I love the black and white editing you did!!! Marvelous!
