Manipulate Image

My family and I visited Gulf Shores, Alabama. We take a trip to Gulf Shores almost every year and it is always a great experience. 

I took the original photo because I saw the sunset from inside where we were staying. By the time I got down to the beach, the sun was in the perfect spot. I used my IPhone SE to take this picture and many more. The original image is the sunset behind some palm trees. I liked this image because I love sunsets. 

I chose to manipulate the image because there are so many great images that look better when edited. To edit the image, I used my IPhone SE. To edit, I used a free editing app called InShot. I like InShot because it is free to use and the controls are simple. I think the app is very organized. While using InShot, I added two copies of the original image. I then changed the layout and flipped the top image upside down. Finally, I put the RGB effect (red, green, blue effect) over the image and increased the value to just over halfway. This set the effects in the image to red and blue.

What I liked about the final product was the uniqueness of the image. You do not see many images that look like this. I personally like to look at unique photos so I really like that mine is unique as well.
