Genius Hour 1.5

Photo Editing Week 5

Going into week 5 I thought there was nothing that could go wrong.  I felt confident with my ability to edit, but using a new program on my computer was quite the experience.  I failed over and over trying to edit my two photos.  I easy spent over an hour this genius hour just editing.  As a matter of a fact, I spent a little over an hour on each photo.  Things just weren't panning out how I would've liked.  There were certain edits that I could undo, and some I could not.  That being said I had to restart from scratch a few times, and it was super frustrating.  After all was said and done I was quite pleased with my results, but I know I could've done better.  This is one of the two photos I was able to recreate from my 1.2 genius hour.  

This is my recreation of my 1.2 edit.  I focused on making the lighting and composition more realistic.  I was able to add more attention to the building and the night sky.

 Although I'm not super impressed with this weeks edits, I know that editing is a process just like learning.  If I would've been able to spend a large amount of time editing, the possibilities for my edits would be endless.  Next week, I with be choosing new images to attempt some new editing techniques.
