Lineman on a Foggy Morning

See the full gallery on Posterous

145/366 Lineman on a Foggy Morning. Hipsta Thursday. Today's post is an edit on a Hipstamatic print to show what can be done with a poor photo. I took this shot of a lineman, repairing electric lines, from a garage with Hipstamatic using the Buckhorst lens and Ina 1935 film. Original shot is poor due to lighting condition having extreme contrast. For edited shot, I used PSExpress to adjust exposure, saturation, brightness, contrast, cropped and added warm vintage effect and a border. In PhotoWizard, I did more with exposure and sharpening, along with filters to change the lighting and coloring.

Trois Debutantes

139/366 Trois Debutantes. FFF (Filter Free Friday) I was trying to take filter free picture with the 645 Pro app. I did not quite succeed as I did not realize the film dial needs to go blank and the back dial needs to disappear for it to be filter less. So this shot was taken with the 645 back and FC5 film. These lovely orchids were making their debut at the Wyndham Hotel in Tampa.
