My Photography - Myrtle Beach Part 1

Tweet

I only took 36 photos while at the beach & even though this was the simplest one I took it is my favorite. My friend, Morgan, went to the beach a week or two before I did & she took some plain photos like this one so she could work on her editing. She manipulated the water & replaced the sky & made the photo look like something you would see on a post card. Well, I decided to do this as well while I was down there. I always want to learn more about photoshop so I went to Youtube to learn water/color manipulation. I started this photo at about 4 pm & didn't get finished with it till about 7 pm. I kept changing the shade of blue I wanted for the water and the shade for the sand. I eventually got them to what I wanted & then got stumped on what to do with the sky. I eventually just decided to go with a lot darker blue & kind of make it look a little stormy. I love this photo so much because it looks nothing like Myrtle Beach. It looks like it might be somewhere tropical. I love taking photos but the editing part is my favorite of it. You can do so much with photoshop and can create some real masterpieces with it.
