Like with all the images I start to edit I have no clue to what I want to do.

I got kinda annoyed with this one. I like the angle of the shot but I didn’t like the colors. The sky constantly wanted to be a very light blue. But I tweaked the blue and the green to remove that sort of overcast sky look.
So I wasn’t sure what to do with this picture at first.

But then a friend of mine suggested that I use black and white. “I was told by a photography professor once to not be afraid of the whitest whites and darkest darks.”

So I’m using affinity photo to focus merge this frog. This camera is new to me and I learned after this image I can use auto focus and manual focus at the same time. Some of the images I took had the frogs eyes in focus and some had its body but none of them had its mouth. sadge :( I also adjusted the colors of the frog to be more vibrant.
These photos were edited in Affinity Photo to bring out the red of the bricks.

There are a few things I would change. It was raining outside so I used my car as a tripod to take these shots. My camera is super sensitive to motion and considering it has no image stabilization at all. So, having my car running while trying to take photos made every photo blurry. I didn’t notice it on the view finder. Secondly, I should’ve brought my batteries and for whatever reason the camera kept shutting down. So, I had to be quick with my shots. I’m not sure if this raspberry pi has a thermal issue or I did something wrong but it gets super hot super fast. I should check the journalctl to see if CamUI is causing the pi to crash or if its overheating.
