The first picture is the one that has been altered.

I decided to use a photo that I took last week because I felt that this was a strong picture before photoshop. After fixing it I think that it has become a better picture all around. The only thing I really had to adjust was the levels.

Photos From This Weekend

This Past Weekend

I have been very busy for the past 5 days. This weekend was the annual Freezing Fun For Families winter softball tournament. I was asked to take pictures for NorthStar Fireworks who was putting on a show the opening night, and I even offered to make a time lapse video that I will post when I am finished. Saturday I was busy taking pictures for Onion River Sports at there Frozen Onion bike race at Millstone. One of my pictures was even published in Tuesdays Times Argus. Finally one of my close friends from high school asked me to take the album cover for his mixtape. His artist name is Rafiki and   has amazing lyrics that go perfectly with relaxing hip hop beats. You can check him out at https://www.facebook.com/RaFikiTribe?ref=ts&fref=ts

This week I decided that I would share some pictures from my Instagram. I love Instagram because it allows me to take and edit pictures right on my phone. This is how I honestly started photography, I am still getting use to carrying a camera around everywhere I go. If you would like to see more photos you can follow me @cody_chouinard.
