My family visited the Biltmore in Ashville, North Carolina. My mom has always wanted to take a trip to the Biltmore because many of her siblings have told her how great it was. We went there and and they were right, it was great!

While there, I took many pictures using my iPhone 7. The original image is a picture of a walkway. I like the image because it gives a view of of one of the many flower gardens on display at the Biltmore.

To edit the image, I used my iPhone 7. I loved the process of editing this photo because I learned how to use the free editing app Snapseed. While editing in Snapseed, I modified the temperature effect to make the extravagant gardens stand out more and make the fence a darker hue. I also used filters to make the red flowers a lighter crimson and the concrete more of a light brown.

I think the colors in the manipulated image are more crisp than in the original image. What I like most about my manipulated image is the feeling I while looking the warm vibes it gives off.

Old Chimney

There is a really cool old chimney from an abandoned cabin in the woods down the road from my house. For this project, I took a picture of it using my iPhone SE.

I took this picture because it is an interesting relic of the past. I decided to manipulate this picture so it looked older and more clear. The program I used to edit this image was Axiem Systems Photo Editor. Axiem Systems Photo Editor is free which is fantastic for a middle schooler with no source of income. It is extremely easy to use which makes it even better for amateur photographers. I highly recommend the others use the Axiem Systems Photo Editor too!

While editing my picture, I added the boardwalk filter to make it seem like an older photograph. Then I enhanced the image and raised the sharpness so the image was more clear.

All in all I had a blast taking and manipulating this photo. I greatly enjoyed manipulated images using Axiem Systems Photo Editor.
