Let's Crank that Saturation, Baby!

So my buddy @tattoodjay is launching a new tag called #funkyedits and I wanted to do a post to spread awareness of it. I think edits are a big part of photography. No matter what the purists say, even in the ancient history days of film and the enlarger, folks did what they could to effect the end product, it is just easier nowadays.

I think that #funkyedits is going to be a great tag. I like to do some silly shots and that seems like a good place to put them. So I hope everyone will take some time and check out #funkyedits...maybe even drop a few pics!

My phone never captures the intensity of the color anyway ... so already the photo is edited with its birth. I often try to remember what it looked like and recreate it. I have run to calling my photos ... digital art. I think that gets around the purists. And what can you say when the edit takes your breath away, like theses sunset shots ... I say edit away; photos aren't accurate anyways.

That a great way to look at it Pryde :)

Thanks for joining in, @krazypoet actually came up with the idea and I am helping to spread it but we both appreciate you jumping on board

Ah ok thanks.

hey man ! hope all is well.. looking forward to seeing what your new tag #funkyedits brings up :) here's one for inspiration and good luck :)

drizzling beauty

Beautiful colors.

I often use editing on my artworks to bring out the depth of colour. Nothing wrong with thatin my opinion. Art is art in my book Paul :-)

These are cool edits!!

First shots colours and lights are incredibly great! It is lovely place and your shots are so nice. Thanks for sharing.

Sort of changing from work clothes to Sunday meeting ones.

I am moved by the striking color of heavy saturstion. Yourr colors are glorious and its liked iving in a pool of crayola.

Upped and steemed

Hi @old-guy-photos I've been hoping for a challenge like this. I'm all for a bit of funky from time to time. Sounds like a lot of fun. Resteeming to get the word out.

I will be sure to have a play in this tag. I'll probably need to get better photo editing software though. I've been sort of silently enjoying some of your posts, though it was time to follow. Keep up the good work.

Oh thanks! I dont know if you use it, but if not, check out https://www.gimp.org/ Its free and open source and really quite good, especially for the price lol.

I'm bliiiiiiiiiiiiiind!!! 🕶

I know I need to put a warning!

You did the tag justice. Great shots too, especislly the first one.

Intense photo! Does that make sense? Neon photo? I don't know what to call it, but I like it, and shared it!

Good idea for a new tag!!! Nothing wrong with photo/video/music editing, which just provides another layer of creativity IMHO.

Dang! I missed that @tattoodjay started that tag - sounds wicked cool! I'll definitely check it out - thanks for putting this on my radar, @old-guy-photos

this looks sooo amazing!

Name does not matter you have proved it.
No matter what's a person age is,only falls light on his work and his passion for something.
Great great great men.
I loved and enjoyed your photography a lot.
I have great respect for you men.
Heads off...

It's a beautiful piece of art, this shot! I like your photography my friend, there is always something to find in them. More like a movie in a single frame. Cheers :)

super cool and funky, thanks for using the #funkyedits tag stay awesome have fun and be funky and free.

be well

hello handsome boy, I love playing with the pictures, I have fun and what I like, like watching your face moving, happy friday

You know I keep seeing so many photo posts, and I can never work out if it's a straight up picture or if it had an edit to enhance it. You can certainly produce some impressive effects - all three of these pictures are stunning. I guess I need to pick up one of those fangled app wotsits and have a go myself - I could do with getting myself being a bit more Funky!

Oh this is definitely up your alley. Great photographer and goofy humor will make some great shots. I like that first one where you are walking on water. :)

very lovely photos. I really need to learn photography now. I hope I can be as good as you are someday

This one looks fun, better jump on in. Far cry from dodging and burning and 40 pieces of expensive paper. Amazes me what we can do now. Basically put out a magazine article in a couple of hours on here. And I'm with you, editing is A-OK. The better the image looks, the more impact, in my book. Nice works here with or without edits.

Sweet edit!
