Is this your old church ? Which is in your mind's eye ?

Every photo benefits from fine-tuning, to truly display what your eyes saw, before you took the photo. There are outdoor photos, all with good composition but actually not interesting.

Before and after enhancement.

This is a good way to display photos, before and after enhancing. It's called a flipping page. Flip back and forth when viewing the photos.

Remember what Ansel Adams , famed early photographer, once said.

"You don't take a photograph. You create it."

"Professional photographers " post flat, uninspiring photos of a beautiful natural composition, but fail to represent what their eyes originally saw.

Their expensive camera does not make them a photographer. Only talent does.

Which did the eyes originally see?

The hazy, blurred one ?
Or the sharp, detailed one ?

Which is the original ?
Which is better ?

Which has been "perfected"?

Some place in New Hampshire.

Beautiful scenery, but not captured in original photograph.

Yeah, I've said it many times, but it's true. "You don't take a photograph, you make it." Ansel Adams actually said that first. He likely spent hours in his dark room perfecting each of his photos.

But yet, many people get snippy today about their photos. They have an expensive camera, so each of their photos is perfect, as snapped.

But most as-snapped photos do NOT have the depth, the points of light, the intensity as the eyes originally saw. Instead of spending hours in the darkroom, as Adams did, our photos are much better when we spend a few minutes on our iPhones, perfecting the photo.

The original photo was by a "pro photographer". The second photo is after 5 minutes on my iPhone, using two different photo-perfecting apps.

Maybe it's just me, and my personal preference.

But I often see photos in newsletters that are basically photos of places, things, very few of people. But the photos are drab, not what the eyes actually saw, mostly with depth and colorful bright spots.

The top photo is the original newsletter photo. The bottom is my preference. I think that is what I would have seen when there.
