The reason why I like doing the column "Editing and Reading"
is that
it allows me to always find the bright spots in some photos that don't look "so good".
Then, after some "carving",
a brand new photo was born.
Thus, I can also get a feel for it.
For example, the first few photos in today's issue,
are like this.

@红jin (Falling Leaves in the Wind by Dennis Tsai)
The photo looks messy at first glance, but if you look carefully, you can see the interesting point - under the shadow, part of the people on the left, middle and right are exposed to the highlight. among.
However, because the shadow part was not processed well, the people in the dark part are looming, so these three people are not so prominent.
Solution:
If it were me taking the photo, use snapseed's local tool to increase the brightness of the highlights of the three people.
Then, lower the brightness of the people in the shadow a little bit. After
processing, it is a qualified and clever light and shadow documentary photo.

Chongqing mountain city scenery
The photo is difficult to define. What is the theme of the photo?
Although there is a combination of ancient buildings and modern buildings, the ancient buildings in the foreground have no sense of structure and are dark.
In contrast, modern buildings appear small in area and scattered in shape,
so it seems that the two cannot be integrated together.
Solution:
If I were to take the photo, you can see that in the upper right part of the photo, the tall building, wing angle and wind chime just form a triangular correspondence,
Then, you might as well use this as the focus of the depiction and crop it,
Then add a watermark in the middle, and the structure of the
photo will come out.
@国山 Listening to the sea
" lone boat and cogongrass "
The photos are actually very artistic, but there are three places that I feel are slightly lacking.
The first thing is that the overall tone of the photo is darker. If it is a cold blue tone, it will be more in line with the artistic conception of the lone boat in Tamsui.
Secondly, the red lantern on the boat is actually a highlight and should be emphasized.
Third, the main subject is the boat, but the ripples under the boat are actually the key to highlighting the artistic conception of the picture. They should be centered and focused on the depiction.
Solution:
If I were to take the photo, adjust the color tone of the photo to a cold color, and then use the HSL tool to brighten and increase the saturation of the red.
Finally, crop appropriately and center the boat and ripples.
photos will be much better.

"Like a Shadow"
Huawei P40 Pro
(original picture)
The photographer used the girl and the shadow as the corresponding theme. However, the two people are too far apart and the connection is not strong.
The existence of a gate in the middle also destroys the aesthetic feeling.
Solution:
If I were to take the photo, there is actually something more clever about this photo.
The wall tiles are lattice, the door is lattice, the fence is lattice, the stone platform in front is square, and the surface is also lattice.
Then, you might as well use this interesting echo as the theme,
vertical composition, and then, in order to avoid color interference, convert the photo to black and white,
After processing in this way, you will find that the better the photo, the more interesting it becomes.

@ Submit clockwise,
original picture and revised picture, please correct me
(original picture)
This photo, I think the revised picture is not as good as the picture before revision.
Any photo needs to have a contrast between subject and object, so that the connotation of the character can be revealed.
Especially this kind of street photography, it is even more necessary to "shape the story" to enhance its "depth".
As for this modified photo, there is a single person leaning against the wall. There is nothing else connected with it, so it is very thin.
Solution:
If I were to take the picture, you can see that in the original picture, there are pedestrians passing by on the right side.
Then, you can use the slow door mode to blur the pedestrians a little, so that there is a contrast between movement and stillness.
If your mobile phone does not have this function, you can also use vertical composition and only shoot this part.
There are two purposes for doing this.
First, the pink clothes on the wall are obviously women's. Then, using a vertical composition to reduce the left and right frames, we enlarge the blue and pink; men and women; between labor and rest. contrast.
Secondly, the man leans against the wall with his head upward, using a vertical composition. Visually, it leaves room for the upper part to extend, which is more in line with the aesthetics of the composition.

Sakura Under the tree, the old man with snow-white hair and the boy passing by remind people of spring, youth and the passage of time.
Old people and young people, Sakura tree and seats,
There are multiple echoes in this photo, It is a good thing that
has echoes, but the more echoes, the more requirements it places on the environment.
The environment of this photo is very messy. The tree trunks, flowers, clothes, wall tiles, sky, and the old man's hair are all white, dividing the space into many areas.
So, it makes the photo look particularly scattered.
Solution:
If I were to take the photo, in fact, I would just take photos of the old man and the tree to show the tranquility of the years.
The addition of such an incoming young man ruined the artistic conception, and it felt like a forced addition to the drama.
Of course, the angle still needs to be adjusted. In this photo, the shed in front of the old man has an impact on the picture in terms of color and position.

@ travel record
This photo is a silhouette, but the focus is on the distant view. Doing so has both advantages and disadvantages. The advantage of
is that because the silhouette is a virtual scene, the lantern on the right and the red dress on the left are also blurred into color spots, and they are arranged on the left and right of the screen, corresponding to each other. The disadvantage of
is that the distant view is in real focus, whether it is billboard fonts or bright roofs, it will weaken the subject, that is, the existence of the silhouette.
solution:
If it were me taking the photo, the easiest way would be to use a filter.
uses the filter to adjust the color. First use cropping to slightly crop off the left side of the frame. This way, the red color is more symmetrical and the silhouette is more centered.
Next, select "Filter" - "Film", and select 5mm in it. The advantage of this filter is that it can weaken blue, green and other tones and highlight red, orange and yellow tones, which meets the requirements of this photo.
I selected filter No. 1, then clicked Adjust, selected Light and Shadow, raised the exposure and lowered the shadows.
After this adjustment, compare it and see if it has a documentary atmosphere and the main body is highlighted?
