It’s amazing how a fresh perspective and improved skills can breathe new life into old photos. The process of revisiting and reimagining them can be quite rewarding; it allowed me to uncover hidden photos that I previously overlooked. Embracing artistic freedom and honing your editing skills can truly transform the way one looks at your own captures.
I took these in Australia, but I ignored them previously due to not being sharp enough. But with a bit of artistic liberties they turned out to be Okey shots. First shot is from Sydney and the other from Melbourne

So dramatic!
Thanks 🙂 hopefully in a good way
👍
Intriguing … and I appreciate the clarity and contrast.
Thanks Frank
it’s amazing how often clever editing can rescue a photo you might otherwise have discarded!
So true, often it takes time to go back to old photos
Okey? They are beautiful!
Thanks Lois!
These images are great Ritva. I think sometimes we are our worst critic. We discard photos, but when we return to them later–hey they’re not so bad. Then add a few edits, and you have a great image.
Anne, I have been revisiting lot’s of old photos. I often wonder why I chose to ignore some of them.
😊
Revisiting old images can be fascinating, and I love 5he drama of these
Thanks Sue, due to the added drama they worked for me 🙂
😊😊
Great shots. I don’t think I’ve ever seen that circular seating area in Sydney before (not that I know Sydney that well). It makes an excellent composition with great lighting and colour.
(I can waste the whole day in my archives and never get anything else done, be it a blog post or the household chores).
Vicki, well sometimes it’s ok just to waste a day 🙂 Thanks for your kind words
That looks amazing!
Thank you Sara
