I admit that I am having too much fun with the Hipstamatic & SwankoLab apps; but Iiked the 1930s look that they gave this shot of a sidewalk stren with truck tires and a hose.
Last year, I posted both the original and a version that had been altered in some way in OhotoShop Elements. They'd been taken with a digital camera. It was a lot of fun, but I have to admit that posting two photos a day every day for a full year was a lot of work!
Thw original on this was really wasn't all that much different, as it had been taken with the Hipstamatic app, which adds its own effects. Most of the change was the tone (from B&W to sepia) and adding the vignette.
Your post processing really works here. Although I haven't published any, I do like to try sepia settings out. What I see here is that the sepia works best on the simpler images. This one really benefits... Nice atmospheric photo.
...is to fill 52 themes, one a week for the year. Some weeks, maybe I'll try to find several photos to fit the themes. Others, I may spend more time trying to perfect one that seems best to represent the theme. Three years of a photo-a-day opened my eyes, now I want to hone my skills.
Somehow, a camera allows me to see more deeply and awakens the eye. For me, undertaking these year-long challenges is a way to become more aware of the world that swirls around me.
This is great. Sometimes it makes me want to see the original because I bet there is a huge difference.

Great post processing!! Nice perspective on this.
ReplyDeleteThe effects really suit the subject here. I think you are having way to much fun with these photos!
ReplyDeleteLove the antiqued processing you gave this...it just seems so timeless!
ReplyDeleteLooks like an old photo, all right! Love the vignette too. It's so fun to try all different types of processing and yours are top notch.
ReplyDeleteI love this! It has such a vintage feel. I can't believe what you do with an iphone.
