For photo editing, I have decided to go with FotoFlexer. The program is very straightforward, easy to use and offers a variety of effects that I can apply to pictures. This photo editing exercise asked us to take a photo with our digital camera, upload it to the photo editor of our choice, and post them to our blog noting the effects used.

My attempt at "old timey" |
I decided to crop the picture to make the waterfall more of a focus. I then played around with the effects until I settled on an effect called “old photo” which gave the picture an aged appearance. I also added the effect “retro” which rounded the edges and aged the picture a little further. After playing with the saturation and contrast, I ended up with what I would call an “old timey picture.” I love old photographs (and I love any opportunity to use phrase “old timey”). The history you can get from a single picture is really incredible. I wanted my picture to look like it was taken in the early 1900’s and had been stashed in a box, waiting to be discovered. I hope I captured a little bit of that feeling with this.
