Making Photos Look the Best They Can

Photography should be done in way, which serves purpose to those who see it.

Taking pictures offers a visual of what someone sees whether that be another person, scenery, or an abstract object. Capturing what you see in the moment is all about showing others what you saw at a certain period of time. That image tells more than a thousand words because it is the evidence one can see in front of them. Photos offer more to be shown and those who see them often use their own judgment of what they have seen in order to make assumptions about what is in front of them.

An image is always taken at face value because of what it is able to show to people. The image does the talking for what one has to say about it. Whoever took the image can say what they see in the picture and explain to those who view it for a better understanding. Photographers are entitled to take pictures however they want. This can range from trying to photograph someone from their best angle or either having them pose a certain way, deciding how to capture the sceneries they see, or looking at objects that make them abstract in a photographic way.

Pictures are made their best by what the photographer decides to do with it. There is more to taking a snapshot than just capturing what you see in the moment. After an image is taken it can be edited to make it look better than it already did. The possibilities are endless from being able to crop out what you do not want to show, straightening out crooked ends, and playing around with the color pallets seeing a photo from another point of view. Whatever you do with the picture is telling the story of the image in which others will view and comment on.

Everyone sees a photo differently from one another. A picture has to be seen in order for one to say what they feel about the image itself. They may like it or might not be fond of it. Those who view an image pass judgment on a photographer’s work that can either be positive or negative. Someone may be very fond of what they have seen and will be all praise for whoever captured the picture they have seen. While others might not like the work someone came up and criticize them. Yet, positive feedback and criticism should all be taken with the right idea in mind because that will allow someone to take better pictures than they were before.


When one sees a photo taken by someone else they envision what they feel about that set image. It may remind them of something good or bad. Everyone perceives a picture in a different way. For them, a snapshot is what they are seeing and making their own observation of what it is. Those observing the photo are entitled to say what they feel about the image because they are viewing it from their own point of view.

There is always more that can be done with photography besides just taking an image. Photographers want to have their images look the best and do whatever they feel justifies a pictures quality. A photo might be left the way it is or it can be brightened, lightened, or enlarged because all of those things enhance its own value. The value of a snapshot is always set by the person who took it because they are deciding what viewers will see. In other words, a picture does the talking about what the image is saying. Pictures are always seen in such a manner that someone will want to say something about them.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
