First off, I want to say texting while driving is bad as well as
taking pictures while driving. To completely contradict myself, I’ll have to
admit I took this while I was driving my car. Actually, I was at a stop sign
and no one was laying on their car horn behind me, so I had a chance to roll down the window, stop,
and take about three or four shots. There was only one shot where the little
boy on the bike completely made it into the frame of the picture. Just thought
I should mention the production in the field since it had kind of an
interesting story. However, I realize I should be talking more about post-production, so here it goes…
Even though this photo was dramatic when I took it, I decided to make
it a little more dramatic by using the drama filter effect with Snapseed. I
didn’t have the filter effect maxed out, but I would say it was at a
higher level which helped with the desaturation which everyone loves in this
photo. The scene itself had a pretty good contrast, but I did actually go into
the tuning options in Snapseed and slightly increased the saturation for contrast since the drama
filter made all the colors look so flat. It’s pretty hard to believe I
increased the saturation when everyone talked about how much they liked the lack
of saturation. I would highly recommend the drama filter in Snapseed as a
method for lowering photo saturation.
