First Cold Day, And Now I Hate the Leaves

first cold day
taken with Camera+

Every year, I declare fall to be my favourite season, and then two weeks later I am bitching about how I can feel winter creeping in.

and then run through Perfectly Clear to adjust the contrast and exposure and reduce noise

weeds 4
and then run through Snapseed to adjust the white balance to warm up the tone a touch

I shot this while I tramped around in the rain at 8:00 a.m. in my pajamas after the thunder woke me up.

Dandelion Lawn: The Evolution of a Photograph Edited Through Four Apps

I always share the apps I use with each iPhone photo I post, but I have rarely shown my work, so I thought I would take a moment show an image at each stage of the editing process.

The original photo was taken with Hipstamatic using the Americana lens with Blanko Freedom 13 film:

Then, the photo was run through Camera+ using the Clarity filter in Scenes:

Then, it was run through PhotoToaster using Instamatic in the Basic filters set:

Then, as a final step to reduce graininess due to low light, the photo was run through Noise Master with a Noise Reduction Level of 25.
