Simple Point and Shoot vs. Photo Shop

***********************************************************************

One Picture, Multiple Views

ICW, Savannah, GA
circa 2010

The first sunset picture I ever took with my i-phone was about three years ago while boating on the ICW in Savannah, GA.  I have always been in favor of the point and shoot style of photography vs. using filters and of course today the ever popular photo shop.  I will admit that photo shop can be fun and it can definitely eat up an evening playing with the different options.  

The following pictures have been altered via Windows Photo Gallery "Fix It" option.

 This first one could almost pass as an original based on the colors and lighting.

I think a few of them are rather interesting but I still favor the original.  The altered photos have an interesting look, the original sparks a fond memory of a time I loved......cocktail hour(s) on my boat!

Obviously photo shopped.

I see a lot of interesting pictures posted on Facebook and various emails that appear to be incredible shots.  Most recently a water spout combined with a lightning strike.  Definitely cool and yes quite possible, but I have my doubts.  

as always,
