Kate McCormick & James Saadeh are running a beautiful blog by the name The Squirrel Chase.Com
They are encouraging us to take part in their one to three photo processing challenge.
Thank you guys for the inspiration.
According to them
“Take one photo and get creative with it by processing it three different ways. Put the original and your creations into a post and link it to the month’s challenge post. If you can, please include a description of how you got your effects in case others would like to give it a try”.
My thoughts
Processing a photo a great way to give a fantastic look to the photo.
Modern-day terminology is ‘photoshopping’
There is always a love-hate relationship between the lovers of photoshopping and those who wish to maintain originality.
But the choice of appreciating the original or photoshopped photo has to be given to the viewer. (photographer feels-it’s for your eyes only👀)
But the truth is –
“Beauty in the eye of the beholder”
Photo-Filters have made everyone an artist and let us enjoy the artistry instead of arguing about the original version or photoshopped version.
But one quote caught my attention which is relevant to the photographer in me.
“We never noticed the beauty, because we were too busy trying to create it.” Unknown
To be frank, I am more busy watching the beauty created in my camera/software- than spending time with nature and enjoying its beauty, where no filters are required.
I tried my skills, with a Rose flower.
Please share your thoughts on your Instagram, Snapchat, Facebook and similar photo filters.
Original
Selective Colouring
Impressionist-Texture
Impressionist-pencil
Which of the above images caught your attention?
Thank you.
Namaste 🙏🙏🙏

If steroids are illegal for athletes, then photoshop should be illegal for models. 😛

Interesting thoughts.
Great analogy
Models enjoy photoshopping and people love models in the advertisments and try to imitate.
That is called fashion.
Why should anybody deprive models of their rights being photoshopped?😄😄

I thought all the photos were beautiful in their own unique ways. And yes, sometimes when we are outside we focus more on the photos than the beauty. You have to balance your time outside and sometimes just enjoy it.

Thank you my friend.
True we love all the photos.
And nothing like being creative and some tweaks.
I was only wondering whether we consume too much of our time in more beautifying the shot.
