- Can others edit my Photos
- Photos NOT OK to edit
Lately i've been spending a lot of my time on the internet looking at what I guess you would call "inspiration" websites or blogs. Basically just websites that feature a ton of photographs and drawings and graphic design type stuff meant to get your creative juices flowing if you will.
And maybe its just me but I seem to be noticing a trend amongst a lot of the photographs. I don't want to put a inappropriate label on this trend but I guess I would call it artsy or "hipster" photographs and I've been wondering how they do it or what techniques or camera types do the photographers use to achieve these effects?
The effects im talking about are the outer edges of the photo seems to be darker while the middle of the picture seems to be much lighter, as well as dull colors. And at risk of sounding like I don't know what i'm talking about the light from the flash seems to be much softer. All the flashes i've ever used always seem to brighten the photo like mad creating hard shadows and making everything look shiny. So i'm wondering how get a softer light.
Im posting three examples. Mind you NONE of these photographs are mine.
