"Instagrammish"

When I first found out I had to choose photos, I decided I wanted a New York Theme. In these photos, I enhanced the filters to make them a bit stronger. I believed it made the pictures a little more lively. Not only did it gave the pictures more personality, but it made them stand out. I learned a lot more by using different editing techniques and exploring different adjustments to make a picture more vibrant. 

How I made my filter:

Exposure: +0.62

Offset: -0.0042

Gamma:1.00

Hue: -3

Saturation: +10

Lightness: 0

Brightness: 8

Contrast: 24

I hope you enjoyed these before/after photos! I hope to improve in the future.

introduction

hello!

welcome to my blog!

my name is Tara. i'm from Lebanon. not Lebanon, Tennessee or Lebanon, New Jersey.. but Lebanon the country! (Middle East, to those of you who don't know!) i'm currently a sophomore here at high point university. i'm a strategic communications major with a minor in marketing.

i am always interested in learning about new cultures and meeting new people. this explains my insanely long bucket list and my involvement in the global student association. through international club, i've met friends across the globe, who over time have become my family. i am also a social media representative for the global student association and i've always been interested in the social media aspect of organizations. i believe in the power of environment, whether that be pinning positive mantras on one's mirror to reaffirm each morning, blaring uplifting music in the car with friends to boost the mood, or finding that perfect coffee shop aesethetic for instagram photos and ambiance for intimate conversation. i believe this trait will prove beneficial to this class as i have learned how to connect colors and fonts to provoke emotion.
