Professional tuning of photographs

Tips on how to make your snaps look attractive.

      Ever wondered how much tuning an image can change it.


   An image should be eye catching and attractive so that it would worth something in the market.It is not possible to get very good and attractive images every time we click,So its important to have the skills to modulate the image so as to make it look better. 
For example:


I took this image while I was going to my friends house for a usual visit , sitting in the car itself.It was later when I was reviewing the image I realised how beautiful the image was and how much more prettier it cam be made.
I tuned the image using picasa 3.0 changed its saturation,and color intensity and see how it looks now.
Similarly I took another image and tuned it and now it looks like:
After that I made it my desktop background and now its shining there.
The source image for this was :
If you are willing to make the commitment at the time you are editing, that will be what those who view your image as you the artist photographer will see. They will interpret you and your work based on that juncture in time. That is why I usually go through several stages during the editing process.

Important tips to click cool snaps

1.   Ever wondered what one need to be a good photographer.You don't need to spend four years in a collage to bag a degree.But you'd have to spend time with your cam.Get to learn all features.But that is not enough you need to learn to make your clicks look attractive ,simply speaking you'd have to tune them.

Thats not an easy task nor is very difficult.

Just have a look on an untuned and tuned pic

Untuned pic clicked with my nikon l24

 

This is a raw image taken with a camera.Upon tuning with picasa 3.0 it looks like


You can very well see the difference.
I generally prefer using picasa as I'm more used to snap in nature in my cam.If some one is portrait oriented photographer he'd prefer adobe photoshop or corel draw graphic suite.But both these giant softwares would cost you much bucks.Picasa is light and free sofware,easy to handle,easy to learn and is enriched with lots of features.

2.The best feature i find in present day cameras is macro mode.

"Macrophotography is close-up photography, usually of very small subjects. Classically a macrophotograph is one in which the size of the subject on the negative is greater than life size. However in modern use it refers to a finished photograph of a subject at greater than life size. The ratio of the subject size on the film plane (or image sensor plane) to the actual subject size is known as the reproduction ratio. Likewise, a macro lens is classically one lens capable of reproduction ratios greater than 1:1, although it now refers to any lens with a large reproduction ratio, despite rarely exceeding 1:1."(source: wikipedia)

 See how the cam has out focused the background focusing on the flower.This makes the pic look awesome.

3.You should use flash only in low light conditions or when you are not getting all features of an object in its image.

4.Camera matters alot.If you have enough bucks you should buy the best available in the range.Look out for better resolutions (mega-pixels) , optical zooming ,HD video capturing capability, Lens etc
