Karl+Stutzman+Photo+Editing

I used the iPhoto software that came with my Mac computer to edit one of my photos. Here is the original photo: I thought that an "old-fashioned" look would suit this photo well with its rugged natural lines and the various patches of light shining through the trees. So I first tried the "sepia" effect. I also played with some of the level adjustments in iPhoto. Then I worked with the photo a bit in black and white. I adjusted the color contrast and other levels.

I was amazed at how these effects worked to make it look like an old photograph that I might have pulled out of a shoebox at my grandparent's house. Very cool.
