• Welcome to my photography blog! I do photography as a hobby and live in Weatherford, Texas. While Weatherford isn't really the "heart of Texas", I am a Texan and consider my photos as indeed "from the heart of Texas" thus my blog name. I love taking images of nature, flowers, people, animals, fun places and things that I find interesting. I have done some portraits that you can see here on my blog in my photo gallery. Please scroll down for my latest blog posts featuring my photos, life stories, adventures and photo challenges. Thanks for visiting! ~ Sandy

Edit Me Challenge Week #5 | Incredible View!

I’m so happy I found this wonderful blog that offers weekly photo edit challenges!  This week the image is an incredible and stunning view!  I would so love to be there and to photograph that myself! If you’d like to join in on the editing fun, head over to Edit Me!

This photo is from Linda of Coach House Crafting.  She submitted the photo and will also judge all the different edits.

This is the image BEFORE it is edited:

This is a beautiful scene and really the image doesn’t need much editing.  Just a touch is what I decided to do.

My final EDIT of the image:

Here’s how I edited this image:

  1. Cropped just a bit
  2. Ran a Slight Lighten action at 100% two times to lighten up the darker areas
  3. Ran the Totally Rad Action “Wish You Were Here” once at 100%
  4. Flattened image

Thanks Linda for sharing your gorgeous image!  Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend!
