Photoshop

What is photoshop and why was it created? Well google defines photoshop as graphics editing program. Most of you probably already know and for those who don't, in my words photoshop is a computer program that gives you an opportunity to play around with you pictures. Changing the background, changing the color of the picture, deleting all the bad parts and much more; all of those are possible by using photoshop. There are special classes that you can take about photoshop. I remember when I was still in high school I took a photoshop class at DeVry University. It was a fun class and I learned a lot of new things that I never knew. I still can't figure out how to use it fully but there are some pictures that made me proud of my photoshop skills. THe picture to the right, is the picture of my hometown in Ukraine-Ternopil. I took a year ago or so, when I went there to visit. It was in autumn, but the picture didn't go without photoshop. I played around the color and made it look foggy on the back. It looks kind of mysterious and interesting in many ways. I would like to share the originla photo, so you could compare but sadly I do not have the original photo. But hopefully you can imagine what it looked like before, it looked like a regular autumn day with no special affects to it.
There are some more pictures that I would like to share, with the same little story behind them.

Amazing

To tell you the truth, I had difficulty to decide what to write about. I wanted to share something that I really liked but also something that everyone would enjoy. I like photography, like I said many times before, but not to some extend that some people like it to. I've seen so many different and creative ideas, there were represented in a picture by a certain photographer. Sometimes when I see pictures that really grab my attention I just save them to my computer. Sadly I don't know the name of the author of all those pictures, but I would like to share some pictures that were taken either by random person or a photographer. They turned out pretty funny and I hope your mood will get better after seeing them (To see the picture better you just need to cleck on in). Enjoy :)
By posting these pictures I want to show my point, that so many things can be done with photography! So much more than we would ever expect.

David Muench

Photograph by David Muench

 This  name might not be familiar to many of you, it wasn't to me either. When I became interested in photography, I didn't bother to pay attention to other photographers. As all of you probably know, when you are interested in certain field, you are interested in it fully. Meaning, you know how was it created, who are the famous people in this field. As of photography, there are so many photographers out there and if they are well know, they probably put a lot of effort into this job. David Muench is a a landscape photographer, meaning he travels around different places and takes pictures of the landscapes. He started of when he was a little kid, he used to travel a lot across U.S. In his biography that I found online (muenchphotography.com), I found out that for David there was not other life than taking pictures."His 4 x 5 large format camera is as much a part of him as his innovative eye."

 Well now many of you probably ask, why did I decide to write about this photographer and post his photos on here. One of the reason's is because he has the same interest as me and the other one is that I love taking pictures of landscapes. I didn't mention that earlier, but that is one thing I like about photography. Why I like that? Well, I guess because you can do so much with it. Sometimes the world looks so peaceful and beautiful, but we can't always see how beautiful it really is. Like the second photo by Muench, if you look at it for a second, it gives me (and hopefully you too) a feeling that the world is such a peaceful place and just like the photo represents- it's beautiful.
P.S I'll try to post some of my landscape photo's pretty soon, I just can't do it now because I got a new laptop few day's ago and still nothing on here :)
