Throwback Thursday


Sakura

2,489 views

I thought it would be fun to post some of my older photos today ~ these particular ones were some of the first I took when I started doing photography. All of these are from the neighborhood I was living in with my dad at the time when we had a pretty good snowstorm. I snuck out of the house in the middle of the night and walked around taking pictures of the snow scenes. The neighborhood was so peaceful and quiet and I just remember it being a great memory, one of my favorite in fact. 

I did edit these on PS such as with the lighting and color, which is something I don't do as much now. These days I do enhance colors on photos but that's about it. I still think these are pretty though with the way I edited the lighting/coloring/adding bokehs. 

Anyways, I hope you like looking at them ~ ❄️

Do you think if you used this type now you would do it differently or be better at adding effects? Just or is something you rather stay away from now? I really like it personally it adds a nice touch and makes it look like a fairytale or anime scene.

Actually never thought about it yet lol hmm I do still like that kinda effect though yeah ~ It was mostly bokehs on different overlay opacity I think. Tbh been so long since I took/made these lol I think it ends up looking better in snow though idk how I would add something like that to like my normal nature pictures because it seems like lately I mostly take pictures outside during the day instead of at night like this x.x

It doesn't really seem we are ever out at the night time does it? 😆 I think we were out at night a lot more in Chicago than here. There are maybe other effects for nature?

Nahhh I don't really care to be out here at night >_> I felt pretty safe in downtown Chicago at night but I think that was because I knew it SO well ~ Honestly maybe I should browse some nature effects or something because I never even thought about it until now lol ~ wow Pessi having good ideas, miracles happen XD anywhooooo I'm gonna go to bed so have fun up there in your little.. upstairs.. man cave o_o

It was much more busy than here. Even at night there was still many people on the street and here in the downtown area is more quiet. I think this aspect makes it felt less safer. You're welcome for the idea lol. This is my bedroom not a man cave. That's the other bedroom up here 😆 However I'm going to sleep too soon it's gotten late suddenly.

Those are really beautiful snow pictures. I really like the filters and effects you've used on them as they really make the photos stand out. I've always liked taking photos in the snow but we so rarely get snow here. I remember many years ago waking up at around 4am and finding that it had snowed overnight and going out into the street and taking some photos.

Thanks! 💜 Something about going out in the snow before anyone else has been in it hits different. It feels like some other kind of world lol ~ I like any kind of walk in the snow but the nighttime snow vibe is like the best.

Yep I agree with @Sarada I like this effect too and think you should try it more often. Each of these look amazing and it really makes me want to be out in some snow right now 🤣

Do you still have the effects you used for these saved in your endless GFX folder?
