Photo Blog 18: No Filter

The original photo, taken in November for Photo Blog #9

This week, we were challenged to take a photo without editing it in any way. I decided to mimic a photo I took about 3 months ago during the fall. In a way, this photo is bare in two ways: 1) it contains no Photoshop edits or filters, and 2) the vibe and warm feeling is no longer brought out by the “filter” of fall and its warm hues. Due to the cold, bare trees of winter, this photo appears duller than the original one and almost lifeless, in a way. I had previously taken the original photo in November, where the leaves had bright orange and yellow hues and the sun cast an almost golden light on the lamp and signs. There is also also no white balance used on this photo, so it appears less bold than the other one.
