You are also photographer.

   Traveling is one of most important points in my life, and taking picture is also one of reasons why I crazily liked traveling, because it will be best souvenir and prove you have been there when you came back from a place. 


   First of all, I would love to explain the elements that make up a great photograph. These fundamentals are mandatory knowledge to all artists.
Photography makes it easy for anyone to create images without needing any artistic ability or training: just set AUTO and go.
You can't paint unless you study and practice. In studying painting, you are always taught image structure.
Anyone can take pictures. Formal courses of photographic study rarely, if ever, cover the basics of image structure. All they teach is technical mumbo-jumbo, which is a waste because cameras do all of the technical stuff for us today anyway.


   Then,I want to post some picture I took before and I edit them as well for comparing how difference between original and changed one.



      We can look at first picture,  all color of picture is quite warm and strong, so it is just a simple picture without any change, but I totally changed style of picture as style of Holga(kind of camera) . The whole black color, old film style and change of light. However, I did not change anything to person in picture because I think a good picture will be ruined if you make big change of it.


      After we finished enjoying first group of picture about person, we can see other two picture I show below.

       I took this picture when I was in San Diego, US.  We may guess what time is in that picture, yes, it was in sunset. Why I chose this time to take picture?  I think the most beautiful scene I can catch if I take picture when it is sunset.  Apparently, we can see color of original picture is pretty warm and does not show too much feature of sunset, so I changed the color to very yellow one as the first step, and the second step is making sky much lighter, and whiter.
To be honest, I do not normally edit picture, because I want to keep original style of picture and every picture have their own feature, if you change it,  the meaning of picture will totally change, so I will not encourage people to edit picture, but it is just my idea. 

      In recent years, there are more and more girls who like taking picture themselves, and used it as profile picture of social media, such as LinkedIn, FaceBook and Twitter. More importantly, most of them are over changed, and totally different from original one.  That will make people misguide. For instance,  manager of company is looking for some employees in LinkedIn, and manager may not distinguish from the person when they are in interview if his or her profile picture are totally different from the real face, so in my opinion, people should post or give us originals for avoiding chance of  misunderstanding.
