~ Low Light in Monochrome ~

Ritva has challenged us this week to look at our low light photos and see how they convert to monochrome. I really enjoy these challenges because photo editing has become a new hobby.

So with the above in mind I have been looking through my archives to edit a three photos only, as per Ritva’s request. I am wondering if it would be easier to have one app for photo editing or just keep using the free ones I have. These include Snap Seed, Google and Photoscape X attached to my Mac photos. Any advice greatly appreciated.

I played around with the above photo for a while, I should have taken notes! It was taken a few years ago as we were strolling through the walking street in Hoi Ann.

The above was taken at Vila Nova de Milfontes, Portugal last year. The sun was just setting as we stopped briefly for an evening drink overlooking the ocean. This photo was edited with Snapseed.

I’m not sure if I got the above correct, whether it would be considered low light. I edited this using Photoscape X from my Mac software, leaving a touch of light with some green.

  3. I love that opening shot, the letterbox format really adds impact! I can’t really help with advice about editing apps as I never edit on my phone and rarely on my tablet. I prefer to do it on the laptop where I can see the images more clearly and I use Photoshop Elements for that with Nik Efex Pro plug-ins.

  4. Ali, these are beautiful photos. As for your question, I’d stick with what you have as long as you’re satisfied. I used PhotoScape X from time to time, too.
