Lunch on the Pier

100/366. Lunch on the Pier. Sally and Lego Monday are on hiatus. This photo was taken with iPhone on the Belleair Beach Pier. PSExpress was used to crop, expose, saturate, sharpen and crop. Noise Master was used to reduce noise caused by the cropping. Infinicam gave it the final retro look.

A Walk on the Beach

87/366. A Walk on the Beach. The theme for week 13 of my 52/2012 is relax. Hardly anything is more relaxing than a walk along the beach on a spring evening with the sound of the waves crashing ashore and a cool breeze blowing around you. Photo was taken with native iPhone and pp occurred in Photowizard, which included blending a photo that was taken with slow camera of trees rushing past a moving car.

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.
