NY Walking Appstract

I was added to a new Facebook page, Appstracts, and decided to give it a try today. Took an image from last week and App-stracted it...Hopefully on the next one I will remember the order I used the applications....Had some fun though, trying various applications and getting out of my comfort zone...Nice way to learn and push the envelope somewhat...Probably the first of many...

Vintage Car

A few weeks ago leaving Toledo I came across several vintage cars simply parked on the side of the road. The vehicles took on a extremely mysterious look in the dew filled misty-rainy morning....So of course I stopped and made a few iPhone4 exposures using ProHDR on a tripod....

This one was processed using Photo Toaster and Blur Fx, two new applications for me. Photo toaster retains resolution while Blur Fx is a res killer. In order to retain some degree of resolution I combined the blurred image with the Photo Toaster image in Iris and was able to maintain 3.3 MP of the original 5 MP. I do, however, realizze there are other ways to get this effect but wanted to play a bit with Blur Fx....

Never noticed a preferences page in Blur - anyone know if high resolution is even possible in this application.

Photo toaster is  a fun applications - even has frames...will be added to the list of applications for the Whidbey Island workshop...
