Tintype Me

161/366 Tintype Me. Photojojo did an article on the Instagram blog about how to make digital tintypes. Photo taken in Instagram with tilt- shift applied near the eyes, the Inkwell filter for B&W and Lux to increase the contrast. Sierra filter was then applied to increase the warmth. In Picfx, the Olden filter was used to add scratch effects. Finally, the border was applied in Snapseed. I always thought I belonged in the 1800's.

The Long Pier

The Long Pier, a photo by bichonphoto on Flickr.

The Long Pier at Redington Shores is a splendid place to watch the sunset and take photos. There is the pier, sand dunes, birds, people and of course the water. Several apps were used to create this photo. I starting by taking the picture with an iPhone 4 using the iCameraHDR app and applied the normal tone mapping. Then I cropped, adjusted exposure, and applied a border in PS Express. Next I applied the 50% candy filter from the Best Camera app. Finally it was processed in Snapseed using the Drama 2 effect. I love the painterly quality of the photo. Below are several more photos from this session taken with the Nikon D7000.
