Hello Steemit! Just an aspiring photographer and editor sharing his journey!

in #introduceyourself7 years ago (edited)

Hi everyone,

After being a long time lurker and Steem follower, I've finally decided to take action and join the community.

A bit about myself, I'm a broke student from Australia with an interest in photography and editing. Actually I recently just used up 95% of my money on purchasing a car (just an old 2006 Toyota Camry) and hope to use this to travel to beautiful locations in the future. However, even though I claim to be an aspiring photographer I have yet to purchase my first camera.

BUT! I won't let that stop me. As I now start to save up for a camera I've been practicing photo editing and colour grading by downloading free RAW img files and editing them (Thanks to WeSaturate users for providing beautiful and free to use images!).

I just find it fascinating how we're able to change the entire aesthetic and vibe of an image via editing. So for now, please follow my journey as I grow my hobby. Here are some of my edits so far (please go easy on me lol)!

Went for a brighter look, by bringing up the blues and aquas (was quite difficult doing this while retaining the green-ness of the trees), I'm a bit unhappy about how blown out the white snow looks, but that's alright I guess.

Pretty much re-coloured the buildings to capture more of the sunset vibe and bumped up the clarity. I messed up the clouds trying to make them look bluer :(

My other interest and hobbies include fitness and crypto so look forward to more in the future, thank you so much for reading my post (if anyone even made it this far).

See you next post!!
