Lightroom

So I did it... I went out and purchased my own, legit photo editing software. I got adobe lightroom 5. I decided to buy it because 1. I've ALWAYS wanted one and saved up for one. 2. I wanted to be able to add more artistic elements to my photos and still keep the integrity of a photo's quality. 3. I'm going to the philippines for vacation and I want to come back with some killer photos!

So yeah... the photo editing software was pretty pricey in my personal opinion ( because I'm not rich) but in my overall opinion, I love it so far! It's a good price considering how much it could do ( and I havent even figured out half of the functions). I honestly just love how much it could really enhance my photos. The last couple of days, I have been spending hours just playing around on it. Here's an example of just one of the photos (before and after) I've practiced on:

Before/After:

Editing essentially woke up the photograph. The color, the contrasting, the saturation, the clarity, etc. Let's hope I'm able to whip out even more amazing pictures one day! MORE TO COME!
