A few days ago I started looking through some of my old photos and I've been finding photos that I had dismissed or forgotten about, of course, I’m also finding photos that I really liked, but now I just don’t see why. I know this comes down to me growing as a photographer and going back through my old photos helps me focus on moving forward.
However one of the biggest problems I’m finding with the photos is the edits I was using, I hated the way I was editing my photos, for my monochrome I would wash out the blacks and with my color photos, I would try to make them look cinematic.
Both of these edits just don't work for me anymore and I have no idea what I was thinking at the time.
Now I just use the Fujifilm presets (Acros R and Classic Chrome) with maybe a bit of play with highlights and contrast, but most of the time I use the JPG's straight out of the camera.
Over the past few weeks, while the weather has been awful, I’ve been editing my old photos. Yes, I know this is time-consuming, but it helps me move forward.
I have a question, do you ever revisit your old photos and do you ever rethink your edits?
Below is a small selection of photos that I’ve edited again, most of the photos I’ve never posted before, Enjoy
