Well, to start. This photo is really special to me because I took it in one of the towns I grew up in and went to high school. (My parents are divorced so I grew up in Toledo with my mom and Temperance/Ida with my dad. Which I absolutely LOVED). I remember that I was having a really good night. I was in such a good mood. It was a summer night and I was driving with the windows down. The sun was going down, which is my favorite day of time because I am a sucker for sunsets. I really had no worries and I wish the sky could've stayed that beautiful all year long. So I snapped the photo to remember how good I felt and to look back at the pink and blue sky and feel warm.
Like I said before, I'm a sucker for sunsets but I'm also a sucker for color. I absolutely love colorful anything! Buildings, trees, skies, clothing, etc. So this picture was hands-down my favorite and I was excited to have it. When I edited this image, I fully intended on brightening and sharpening the color to make it stand out and overwhelm the photo. I brightened the photo, added a filter to make the sunset much more sharp. Then, I was exploring the app and screwing around with overlay filters. Lately, I've been seeing a trend on social media of making photos look like they were taken with film or that they were just really run-down, yellow-ish, scratched up photos from years ago. And I really adore the 'old times' trend. So I added a little overlay of scratches like the picture was old. I think it adds a little value or something extra to the photo. For me, it makes the photo a little more romantic or give it a story, If that makes sense. Also, it takes away a little bit of the resolution of the photo, which is nice because the filter already made the photo very sharp.
This photo actually inspires me to possibly start a series of sunset photos of the same color or similar color and blow them up on canvas for my wall! (Also why I love this photo. It creates inspiration)
