Welcome New Color Filters: «Blue Only», «Green Only» and «Red Boost»!

We added 3 more cool photo effects for the artistic minded folks:

1) http://funny.pho.to/blue_only/ – leaves only the blue color in your photos. All other colors become black and white (great for emphasizing the blue eyes).

2) http://funny.pho.to/green_only/ – leaves only the green color and its shades in your photos. All other areas become black and white, too.

Green Only

3) http://funny.pho.to/red_boost/. This effect emphasizes the red color in your photos, and also leaves the skin color untouched. All other colors become black and white. This creates a kind of retro look in your photos.

The Power of Black and White Photography

These days, smart digital cameras do the work for photographers. Unlike in old times, people can easily get high resolution colored images. Shooting in color has become the norm in photography. But despite the wide usage of colored images, most people still love black and white pictures. And however strange it may seem, but up to this date, black and white pictures are still a hit! People are often surprised at the power that black and white images have.

So, what are the advantages of black and white photography?

  • Sometimes, colors can be distracting and may even make the photo look complicated. It can be hard to focus on the subject because of too much color. But when it comes to black and white photography, the subject is much easier to focus on.
  • Black and white keeps you focused on the actual composition and texture of the photo. It allows you to focus on shapes, light and shadows, lines and perspective. That is why some photos look definitely more convincing in black and white.
  • Black and white photos have a classy and exquisite feel about them. They have an aesthetic, artistic look that is hard to produce in color. They definitely look timeless!

In the times of digital technology, most photographers prefer desaturating their images in post-processing, instead of shooting in black and white mode. Pho.to offers you lots of opportunities to turn your pictures into beautiful black and white photos. Are you interested? Then read further!

Retro and Vintage are Back in Style!

Retro and vintage style photography has become extremely popular in the past years! People love photos that look ‘old-style’ and have a vintage look, because they create a nostalgic atmosphere, awaken special feelings and memories.

What is the difference between ‘retro’ and ‘vintage’? It is generally said that retro focuses on the style of the 1910s to 1930s, while vintage recalls the time period between the 1950s and 1980s. However, some people use these terms interchangeably.

Funny.Pho.to boasts a variety of vintage and retro-inspired designs, filters, collages and frames. Want to make your photos stand out and look really different? Try aging your modern digital pictures at Funny.Pho.to.

How to add weather effects to your photos

Did you know that today is World Meteorological Day? It is celebrated each year, on March 23, by the World Meteorological Organization. Of course, this day is not a public holiday, but, whether we admit it or not, weather means a lot to us.

We always attempt to forecast the weather. And we love to talk about the weather – it is a way of breaking the ice (a way to start a conversation). People talk about the weather if they can’t think of any thing else to talk about; friends and family talk about the weather before they discuss what’s new, etc.

Did you know that you can add weather effects to your photos? E.g. if you wish to show how hard it was snowing when you took the photo, you can add an animated snow effect to your picture. Let’s see how you can do this.
