Serene Tropical Seascape

Give your photos a chance 📸 When I saw that first shot in camera I thought ‘meh with the right edit it could take up a slide.’ As I started editing this set I kept coming back to this shot and ultimately said ‘damn is this the first photo in the set? I think so!’ The framing of the boat and the anchor line to the subject (myself) ended up being so perfect after I removed all the little heads of people that were around me. Something I learned a long time ago with photography is do as much as you can in camera, meaning on site while you’re photographing, and don’t rely on editing to make your images perfect. But something else I’ve also learned is editing will surprise you in more ways than one no matter how much you do in camera or how much you think you know about your editing software. So give yourself and your images a chance while photographing and in the edit. Even if that means walking away and coming back for a fresh perspective! I’m thinking of starting a subscriptions option to my page here for weekly editing, photo, and video content. I would still share tips and tricks here but would be a little bit more hands on there. Would y’all be interested in that? 📸 @prettyliltraveler way to hit that framing girl! ✨ edited by me!
