Island Church

132/366 Island Church. This is really a Lutheran Church in downtown Clearwater, but photo makes it appear to be a church or government building on a tropical island. Photo was shot with iPhone camera, with crop and color adjustment in iPhoto. Sharpening and the textured filter were applied in Iris Photo Studio.

Moku Iris

97/366 Moku Iris. These iris plants were a strange vivid blue, probably for Easter, at our local Home Depot store. This picture is no longer displaying that blue. Photo was take with iPhone and post processed in Qbro, iPhoto and Moku Hanga. Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend.

Bill Jackson's Grungy Jeep

Bill Jackson's Grungy Jeep, a photo by bichonphoto on Flickr.

This old Jeep is located at the entrance of Bill Jackson's Sporting Goods store in St. Petersbrg, FL. This is an amazing store and it was famous in 1986 for being in an a Visa commercial demonstrating that you can try out a kayak or test skis at their their indoor ski slope in Fl. Photo was taken in the Camera+ app applying the clarity scene. I then opened the photo in the Iris app and applied the Dyna Range filter followed by the application of the Classic Grunge 1 effect. Finally I applied the grunge 2 frame. The video below shows the 1986 tv commercial. It is not the best quality, but it will give you the idea.

Soul Men Layover

Soul Men Layover, a photo by bichonphoto on Flickr.

The infamous Blues Brothers, Jake Blues (John Belushi) and Elwood Blues (Dan Aykroyd,) dancing and singing their hearts out at the Chicago Midway airport. This photo was taken with the TrueHDR app as it was impossible to get a good exposure with the bright window in the background and the dark subjects. The photo was still dark even using this app. I lightened it up further in the Bad-Camera app by applying a yellowish effect 1 and then applied a grunge effect 2; followed by a transparent edge border. I next took that photo into the Iris app and applied a retro FX effect. My next post will take us back to Tampa Bay photos. I hope you enjoyed our brief Minnesota respite.
