Experimenting

Lately I have started playing around with various photo filters and total photo effects from a few different programs. I've dabbled with them before but haven't worked with them much since. Recently I have found myself using more and more photo filters and effects in order to salvage a bad quality photo that has a pose or significance I like, thus I find it hard to discard the shot. Mostly this has occurred out of trying to doctor up photos from my old age smart phone, which on top of bad resolution to begin with, it is also extremely touchy/picky about lighting. Aside from using filters and effects for this main reason I have also been encouraged by other artists to mess around with these tools in photo editing software more just simply to try them out as this can give me more variety in my gallery. In honor of this shift in my photography creativity I am adding a folder to my gallery called "Messing with Filters and Effects," for any photos I have used a filter or effect on since the start of my deviantart account. I have already searched my entire gallery and added all photos I found with an applied effect or filter on them. I have a bunch of such photos lined up for submission in the near feature, which will appear in this new folder as well as in their theme's corresponding folder and my featured.
