RE: ๐ Beautiful Sunrises in Eastbourne
Stunning sunrises you were lucky to see and photo over there in Eastbourne. I can just imagine how fantastic it is to live in such a wonderful area with the seaside and a national park within a walking distance. My favourite photo is the last but one actually. Did you edit the photos a bit, even just on the phone applying some filters? I think youโve got a future in photography! It needs people who are able to see beauty which you did by taking these sunrise photos. I like the composition and the different colours which create depth. Of course to take similar images with a DSLR camera doing the settings manually would involve a bit of a practice and research but if youโre after a new hobby which youโve already got an audience for here on Steemit, please give it a try. Based on the footer you put together, I see that you use Photoshop already so youโve got the post production sorted.
#nofilter ๐ I wouldn't know how to do anything like that! I could photoshop something in but I wouldn't know where to start with photo editing. The sky was so amazing, I couldn't really mess it up!
I'm still using Photoshop 7 - I dislike the subscription model that Adobe have gone to now and I know where everything is (the bits that I use of course). My skills really are very limited!
Oh, the idea of taking up a new hobby... I wish that I had time to do the hobbies that I've already got โน๏ธ
The sunrises were just picture perfect then which even saved you time having to edit the photos. If you open one of the images on your Iphone there's an edit option in the top right corner. There are about ten filters which you better adjust when applying to a photo so you don't end up with a red face or neon green grass for instance. If you really decide to give it a go one day, I recommend you duplicate the photo first, this functionality is under the sharing option at the bottom left corner. It is always best to have the original image and then you can have fun applying various edits to a copy.
๐ฉโ๐ป I have a subscription and I am using Adobe Photoshop 2021. I find it user friendly, it's bursting with tutorials, short cuts and examples so even if you've never used it before for photo editing it won't take you more than half an hour to get to know the basics.
Time's never enough, so true.
Ah, the-toddler-gorilla likes to add effects on the-mrs-gorilla's phone whilst taking photos. They'd be very impressive if he wasn't obsessed with taking photos of feet (very deliberately, not by accident). He's much more arty than me already.
I think I used Photoshop CS 2018 or 2019 (a friend worked at Adobe so I got a year's subscription for about ยฃ20) but I don't use it enough to warrant the expenditure. I think you get Lightroom too don't you? I've not really used any of the newer versions ๐คทโโ๏ธ
That sounds promising ๐ธ Feet sound fun! Print some of his photos and improvise an exhibition! Few apps give you free prints and free delivery.
Adobe Photoshop comes with Lightroom, yes. Just for minor edits or if you really have plenty of time and enjoy editing. I totally agree that you need to use a software often enough to actually spend money on a subscription. I contribute to their photo collection and they also reward me with the subscriptions. They provide codes for getting their apps complimentary: Photography Plan (Photoshop and Lightroom), InDesign, Illustrator, After Effects and Premiere Pro.
Oh that's cool - that makes a lot of sense for you and I forgot that they have their own image stock. Dreamweaver was the other one I used to use a lot but I've also got an old version of that (2003 I think when it was owned by Macromedia) - one of the many hobbies that have fallen by the wayside in recent years!
๐ฑ Dreamweaver looks awesome! I've not tried doing web design. I admit it looks exciting. As far as I know it is really time consuming so I am not surprised you dropped this hobby of yours. But you might go back to it one day who knows ๐
Who knows ๐ I still do the odd bit of coding every now and again, usually to save me time with repetitive tasks but I've recently got a new laptop and haven't installed it yet.
Little known fact about me... An iPhone app I wrote reached number 1 in the Sports section on iTunes. But if I tell you what it was, you'll know who I am in the real world... and we can't be having that ๐
๐ฑ It is truly awesome that your app became number 1 ๐ Curiosity killed the cat. I am more like a dog ๐ I am wondering though what you went for in terms of a laptop. I somehow have the feeling that it isn't a MacBook of some sort. Just a thought.
