Welcome to this episode of Photo Edit Breakdown! I hope you had a wonderful week.

 

 

Well this was exactly how I edited this blue hour shot in Etretat.

 

There was also a big interest in the votes for the urban shot; maybe in one of the next episodes you’ll get to see how I edit this kind of pictures!

Photos of the Week

Monday

 

Photo Edit Breakdown #4 - 1

 

Lifestyle shot in Mallorca with a vintage compass. I went for a nice orange/teal look here. I increased the sunrise light in the top right corner, and increased the sharpness of the compass.

 

Tuesday

 

Photo Edit Breakdown #4 - 2

 

Reflection shot of the Eiffel Tower in a puddle. I brought out the light, and then added the milky way in photoshop, in both the sky and the reflection.

 

Wednesday

 

Photo Edit Breakdown #4 - 3

 

Sunset shot in Etretat, with my friend standing on top of the cliff. I chose to go for a moody look, and I added the birds in photoshop to balance the image.

 

Thursday

 

Photo Edit Breakdown #4 - 4

 

No photoshop on this one; I was right next to an airport and planes kept passing over me. I accentuated the mood of the sky, and made the blue stand out.

 

Friday

 

Photo Edit Breakdown #4 - 5

 

Shot of the Statue of Liberty in Paris, on the Ile aux Cygnes. I added the sky and the lightning in photoshop, to create interest in the photo.

 

Saturday

 

Photo Edit Breakdown #4 - 6

 

Sunrise at the Eiffel Tower. The photo straight out of the camera was really dark, with almost no color in it. I had to bring back the colors, to look like the sunrise I had witnessed. Removed a couple of plane trails in the sky.

 

Sunday

 

Photo Edit Breakdown #4 - 7

 

Imaginary edit I made from a shot in a cave in Etretat; created the milky way with the moon and some clouds in the background. Created this image from a tutorial by @brnwills , check him out! Not going to put this one in the vote, as I used a tutorial.

 

Which picture should I edit next? YOU choose!

So there you have them, the 7 photos of the week!

As always, let me know in the comments what you think of the images!

Have a wonderful week, and I’ll see you next Monday to edit the photo you’ve picked!
