I have been a photographer for years, but now I am actually studying it while I am pursuing my degree in history. I must say it has been fun and challenging.

Along the way I have been using this tool that we are learning in class called “adobe bridge”. Its software connected to photoshop that allows you to edit and, in some ways, manipulate your photos to the style that you want.

While it can’t fix everything, and you are still having to make the proper adjustments on your camera such as, apertures, shutter speeds, and ISOs. It can bring out the beauty of your photos and enhance them to the casual viewers.

The Bridge will allow you to adjust the light of your photos, the shadows. It will also allow you to add texture, and sharpness to make the photos smoother and more appealing.

Below, I did a before and after photo with Bridge

The photo is of Gillespie Bridge in Arizona. I took the photo and in 2019. While I felt the photo was good, I also felt that it could be better. At the time I didn’t now how to correctly work Photoshop, or even knew that Bridge even existed.

When I took this class, I discovered that I needed to learn this program in order to pass the class. I would find time to go through my 15000 photos and began to edit and redefine some of the photos. I figured that this would be a good start, and what do you know. It really brough out the colors, and the photo came out smoother and without noise. I got the settings on the camera right, but I needed this tool to project what my vision of this bridge really looked like.
Before I took this class, I took photography from a scientific view. Trying to perfect the right settings on the camera. I would apply some edits on the phone, but it is limited and doesn’t help the photo reach its potential.

As I have been learning more about bridge and photography, I have been wanting to pursue a more artistic direction with my work.

Below, I posted some of my recent updates on Bridge with photos I have taken over time. Feel free view and offer feedback as needed

Some more below that I enjoyed taking.

This one photo below was a Sunset I did take recently. I love how Bridge allowed me to enhance its beauty
