Barcelona

Phew it's been a while, I promised these at lot sooner.

Went to Barcelona for a long weekend with my parents, saw the Sagrada Familia, Park Guell, Hard Rock Cafe all just as packed as the other with tourists ate out a lot and got bitten excessively by bedbugs (It got much worse when I got home, Kate told me I had the plague and took me to A&E)

Enough of my jabbering, here are some of my photos (Holga Mixture of Lomograohy Colour Negative 400 and Kodak Portra  160 Medium format film)
The Following are just from the Sagrada Familia (inside, out and a lovely view across the city.)

I have a Strange Habit

See the top image, I found it on deviant art and I thought, wow, this is an awesomely composed photo. Why oh why is it so orange?

so, it upsets me when i see an image that looks fantastic compositionally but then hasen’t been edited at all (it may just need some minor tweaking to show it's strengths) Often I see images like these print screen them and edit them to my liking, satisfied i'll then just delete them since it's not my own work.

My point is editing photographs is as old as photography, why do people just leave images like this? Basically I thought this person could have edited this image to get the 'true' colours out, rather than just leaving it, so with permission I edited it to get the colours back. (I assumed this was taken at night time lit by street lights from the orange hue and with no flash they used a high ISO hence the colours and the noise on the image)

I don’t know it just upsets me when there are great images not or badly edited.


My weird online habit, and now you all know.
