About Me

My photo
Annpaolis, MD
I am a self taught photographer who is attempting to capture people, animals or objects in moments where they reveal their true nature, purpose or ability and by doing so I hope to gain a glimpse into a greater understanding of what it means to be on this planet.

Editing

In the digital age of photography snapping a photo with your camera is only the beginning. I have a bad habit of holding onto pics that I qualify as 'almost there'. These 'almost there' pics are images that are not perfect but can become so in the editing room. Sometimes I will edit a pic and it will still be an 'almost there' pic. So I will leave it and come back a few months later and it will become a completely different image. 


There are many different types of editing programs out there to help you make your photographs look like pieces of art. You don't even need advanced programs to make unique and stunning changes to your pics. 


Here are some of my favorite edited pics from the original shot to the completed image.
