FUN WITH FILTERS ON FRIDAY

One day last January, while making my way from the grocery store to my car, I happened to look up. The bare, somewhat twisted branches, of a tree stood etched in the low angle sunlight of a winter day against a crystalline blue sky. The sight stopped me in my tracks.

To the amazement of drivers looking for a place to park, I set my bags down and began to dig in my purse. I was in search of my iPhone. With phone in hand, I circled the tree looking for 'the angle'. 

This odd behavior was the result of a photography class I was taking at the time. The instructor, a professional photographer named David Perry, had shown a number of stunning photographs taken with his iPhone. The photographs were wonderfully evocative and imaginative, this achieved through post-processing done with editing apps available for iPhone.

This I had to give a try...

'Fun with Filters on Friday': Tree in Winter

What I did...

• Converted photograph to black and white
• Applied square crop
• Applied texture filter (if memory serves, I think it was called 'grunge')
• Applied frame filter

I am going to write more about my iPhone photography experiences in a future blog posts. Stay tuned!
