Sometimes it's nice to walk out of the center of town, off the tourist maps, and explore the local neighborhoods. One day we did just that with a mission to photograph more people. It's always a little nerve racking photographing people, especially if you don't speak their language. But after you get one awesome shot, it boosts your confidence like crazy, and you can't get enough. Some cultures are not too fond of cameras, but Cubans were mostly very friendly and didn't mind stopping for a photo.

DeleteDo you guys use VSCO to edit your photos? If so, can you explain the process? I am dying to know how you get such wonderfully vibrant colors!
ReplyDeleteHi Ragan, yes we do use VSCO in Lightroom to edit our photos. We took one of the VSCO presets and tweaked some things like hue, saturation, and contrast until we liked how it looked. It's hard to note all the things we adjusted to make our own preset. Just play around with it!
DeleteJulia do you ever worry about your safety? Do you carry anything with you to protect yourself?
