Added 2020-03-31 04:30:52 +0000 UTC

Hey everyone!! Hope you are all doing well

EDIT: ONLY 2 DAYS LEFT!! Ill be taking a look at all of the submissions on Wednesday (Japan-time) so make sure to get yours in within the next 2 days!! Took a light peek already (confession!) and there is a lot of great stuff happening in those edits! SEE YOU GUYS IN A FEW DAYS!

I have been spending a lot of my time recently developing a few new skillsets both technical and personal! and as one of the things I want to start sharing on here is photo/video related tips, I thought it might be fun to start with a bit of a challenge!

I have added 8 photos above.

All are in JPG format. All are straight out of the camera with no editing.

They are yours to play with.

The Challenge:

Take 1 photo, or take all of them

and "edit" it in any way that you want.

I tend to stuck to adjusting light and color, but you can photoshop them, crop them, add stuff, take stuff out, whatever you want!

Once you have edited them, post your edits to the "Community" tab of the Tokyo Lens Patreon so we can all share!! (if you just want to play around with them, and aren't keen on sharing, you can DM me with your edit, or just keep it too! No pressure~)

The Goal is to build a few new skills and play around to get a good feel for what your own personal idea of Editing photos is!!

NOTE: Not everyone will have programs like lightroom
(there is a free lightroom you can use on your phone though! I love it~)

So here are a few Free Programs that I actually use
(there are many more great ones available out there, but these should get you started)

To Replace Lightroom --> RawTherapee

To Replace Photoshop --> GIMP
https://www.gimp.org/

Let's set a deadline of roughly 1 week!! Saaayyy.... April 7th?

Finally - Very Important

Focus on learning to love the process! The results will ALWAYS be up and down
I can tell you that from over a decade of photography. You wont always like the result
Learn to love the process 💛

See you all... Real soon~
