Sunday Stills/Snap and Zap: Airplane!

For this post I have combined two challenges.  Ed at Sunday Stills has given us the prompt of planes.  I was at the airport sending off my mother to Wellington when I used the time to take photos of our national carrier Air New Zealand.

Then Steve came up with his Snap and Zap challenge where we take a photo and have fun editing it.  His challenge this week is movie themes.  So I thought of the 1980 movie Airplane! starring Leslie Nielson.

So it was off to Snapseed to crop and add some drama to the original image.

Then I added a white vignette at Photoshop Express.

Then off to Distressed FX for the HDR and Reckoning filter.

Finally I headed to the Sketch app for a black and white sketch.

It is a lot of fun and something to do in the evenings when there is nothing on TV.

Phoneography Challenge: Editing Fun

Good morning from a grey Hastings.  The sun is trying to shine through as I am writing this so I am hoping for a nicer afternoon.

I am a bit late posting but it took forever to update my internet security.

Since this is the 5th Monday in September the prompt for Sally’s challenge is my favourite one – editing using the same themes as last week.

So it is back to my ducks.

Firstly I headed to Snapseed and used the drama filter for some added texture on the water.

I added a bit of glow with the old lens filter.

Then I headed to Photoshop Express to add a vignette.

And a filter – which I can’t remember – except it was to add a stronger feel to it.

I headed to an app called Artwork HD for a comic filter.

And finally I used the Sketch app with the original image to create this black and white drawing.

It is a lot of fun playing around with all the different apps to get the different affects.

You can check out the challenge at Sally’s blog as well as a couple of other posts.
