Adding Special Effects



You have the camera, you have the subject, you compose the shot and YES! the resulting image is a good one. Background is blurred, the subjects are in focus, posing is excellent; but, how can you make it better? How can you add a little pizzaz to make that image really stand out from all the others?



Depending on the image, you might consider changing the photo to black  and  white. Add a little vignette and you have a really dynamic photo.

What is vignette? It is a process where a little clarity is lost around the edges of a photo. Check it out on Wikipedia if you want a more "formal" definition. Check your photo editing program and try it out!
