BPP 221: The 4 Editing Mistakes you MUST Make to Become a Better Photographer
Most photographers get into photography before they get into editing. So when we start editing our photos there are some pretty common mistakes most new photographers make but there are 4 here today that I think you need to make that will actually help you become a better photographer.
The 4 Editing Mistakes you MUST Make to Become a Better Photographer
Mistake #1: Over Saturation
If a little extra color is good… a lot of extra colors must be GREAT right?
The Colors are a Technicolor Nightmare
Mistake #2: Selective Color
Selective color makes your images artistic right?
Here I used Selective Color AND Over Saturation. Double Whammy.
Mistake #3: Not Taking Skin Tones Seriously
You mean every bride doesn’t want to look like a zombie on their wedding day?
I delivered this photo. Skin color of a zombie and all. No regard to skin tones.
Mistake#4: Not Culling my Photos Enough
If it’s in focus, it’s getting delivered! Even if there are 29 of the exact same other phots.
Yes, 18 of the same photo please.

My First DSLR Photos. 2007
Start off with the Establishing shot to tell the viewer where you are
Very under exposed
To add context to the protesters I tried to include the Armed Forces sign
Police Presence
I should have added added the sign in the frame
Crowd gathering, poor attempt at manual focus.
Good moment but poor exposure and white balance is too cool
