Android Editors : Weekly Theme : Golden Hour  : presented by Android Editors member @jessuckapow


There are few moments during the day when the lighting is just right, in fact, a few moments that total about 2 hours in a 24 hour day. You have to work to get an image to be over or under exposed and instead, images appear to glow this glorious golden light. Welcome to The Golden Hour. We photog’s love us some golden hour don’t we?

In honor of that bright fiery ball in the sky that gifts us with these golden images this weeks theme is going to force you to step outside and enjoy these moments because ONLY NEW IMAGES will be accepted. Go get some fresh air, pull the car over on the drive home from work, wake up earlier to breath the new day before most and snap some beauties and tag your golden hour shots to #AE_Theme_GoldenHour. Of course, as always, ALL platforms are welcome.

As much as I like the way a photography captures the real moment, what was there just then, I equally love the way I can alter a photography and make it a farytale. This is the castle in Disney World Florida. I made it my version of Winterfell. Those that watch Game of Thrones will know where I got the inspiration.


Description
I like fantasy. I like reality too. I love mixing them both in my everydays. It can make a grey day a rainbow. And sometimes one really could wish one was somewhere else. If one cant edit the day, at least one can edit a picture and make it the perfect place. My imagination has always been strong, from I was a child and still is. I think its what I like most about myself, and I never been afraid to let my mind wander and I hold on to impossible dreams. As a child I would draw alot, I was never bored - i had creayons and paper and could draw what ever was on my mind. Mobile arts lets me take it further.

Editing process
Like I said in the intro, this is the Castle in Disney World Florida. Its shot in the evening, and it mirrors in the water around. I took the pic into Handy Photo first, to use magic crop, as I needed to make it square. Magic crop lets you copy the picture to make it wider on the side or top. Works well if its not too much in the picturesides.
Then the picture was taken into Photo Editor. I used swap, to alter the colors. Then the dark around the castle became white. Next step was Snapseed, where I took down saturation to zero, and put on a vintage filter, giving it light blue. Last step was again in Handy Photo, where I added an icefilter from textures for a Winterfell-feeling.

In all the steps there is a bit of tweeking, trying out how much of the filters I like to add. I think one just knows when one do this whats right for the picture, and whats right for oneself that day. Today my apps let me make my Winterfell.

Sunday Feature by Shane Sheets
Sometimes inspiration comes unexpectedly and at precisely the right moment. Imagine returning from a walk where you took a ton of photos, only to scroll through and not see anything you feel is any good. I found myself in this exact situation recently. While walking around the downtown area of my city, I had seen this older gentleman walking alone across the street and took a shot hoping to catch that lonely feeling. While looking through my shot at home later on, I was a bit disappointed. The shot ended up being too far away, and I was about to hit the delete button. Then, my youngest daughter started talking about our trip to the zoo the week before. The lightbulb turned on, the clouds parted, the choir of angels sang, and the crazy silly stuff began.

I took this photo on a Sunday during a walk with my family. The light was just beautiful and the gate to the big meadow caught my eye right away. It was nicely framed by tall trees and the whole scenery had something magic. Wind in the trees, the singing birds, and the lush vegetation.

Editing process

First I cropped the pic to 16x9 in Snapseed. Then I tuned it a little. Ambience down, saturation down, white balance down. I added a vintage filter and saved the image. I opened it in Photo Editor and changed the color curves a little bit. Then I added a lomo effect and put it as low as possible. I saved the pic and used square it for the white frame. I opened it in Instagram to add the “Rise” filter. As a last step i put down the saturation and white balance in Snapseed.

This shot I used my Samsung Galaxys3 with the apps Photo Editor to create that perfect black and white look, retouch to clean up imperfections in my face, Pixlr Express to change the lighting and set the mood. Finally an instagram filter.

Title: “Behind This Veil”

Android Editors : Weekly Theme : Street Photography : presented by Android Editors member @jessuckapow


This week’s theme may make some of you sweat. Some of you because this is a genre you dig so hard it hurts and you’re just excited, some because the thought of snapping pics of strangers in their “natural habitat” makes you nervous. Don’t worry, getting caught is part of the fun and can also prove to be a great workout if you have to run away. ;) I kid I kid! Street photography, in its essence, is capturing people and scenes as they unfold in their true form. There is no posing, often times you go unnoticed and the goal is to capture people living their lives, raw and unmanufactured in anyway. It’s not just a portrait, it’s the total context of the scene around them as it unfolds. If you’ve never shot this type of photograph before, test yourself this week and step out of your comfort zone. It’s helpful to have your phone in your hand, ALWAYS, and the camera app already open and ready to go because these moments pass in the blink of an eye. Enjoy, capturing the hustle and bustle around you and tag your street images (new or old) with #AE_Theme_StreetShots for a chance to be featured next week. **all platforms welcome**
