September Challenge: Oquirrh Mountain Temple

In honor of Sunday, I decided to go ahead and edit my Temple photos first. I have included 7 photos below. Left is the cropped original. Middle is an antique edit. Far right is a more vibrant edit.

For the longest time I couldn't decide which editing style I liked better. The antique edit is warm, and is closer to the style I used for Isla's 9 month photos. But, when I got to the fountain photos, I LOVED the more vibrant edit. It was in that photo that I was able to see how true the colors are. I guess true color photos are one thing I'm loving right now. But, at least for this month, I'm going to keep trying different things. I want to improve my skills during September, so that means styles will be all over the place. Ultimately, I'm really looking forward to developing my editing style.
















It's interesting seeing how photos look once you export them. I feel like some of the editing is too harsh. Which style do you like better?

I personally think that you can't use just one style for every photo. Each photo is unique and may beg for a different edit. I loved the antique look for most of the photos, but I agree with you on the more vibrant edit for the fountain. That's why, when I edit photos, it takes me a million years. I'm always trying out so many different looks and fine-tuning! Whew! :)
