Since I’d already posted photos from New Year’s celebrations yesterday, I had to think of something else that’s new. The first thing that came to mind was the new film camera that my girlfriend gave to me for Christmas.
We were both excited to find out that it works after shooting a test roll. I’ll share the results with you soon in the Film Rekindled project.
There’s an app for that, and it’s called Slow Shutter Cam. It’s the same one I used to do panning shots. This time around, I used ‘Light Trail’ mode to capture the sparkling New Year’s celebrations.
A Z3 with holiday spirit on the side. Merry Christmas everyone.
The drizzle allowed the raindrops to rest on the windshield. And I hid the street lights behind the clock.
I was grabbing a coffee at Starbucks recently and I noticed their app pick of the week, Juxtaposer — an app that had been on my iTunes wishlist for a while.
Juxtaposer lets you combine multiple pictures into creative and fun photomontages quickly and easily thanks to its intuitive and responsive user interface.

I happily grabbed a card on the counter, entered the promo code in the App Store, and immediately began using the app.
These are the two photos that I’d decided to work with after combing through my library for a couple of minutes. The aim was for one photo to provide a clean background and the other a subject to place onto the background. 
Juxtaposer made it pretty easy to extract the building by zooming in on the photo as I was selecting which part to extract, although some sort of line tool would definitely have been helpful in this situation. I finished it off in VCSO Cam with a black and white preset.

I was glad to be at a red light when I came upon this scene. The sunset in the background gave some color to the sky. I brought it into VSCO Cam, applied a preset (F2 if I remember correctly), and lowered the exposure a bit. Doing so added more contrast and saturation.
To finish this one off, I wanted to straighten the power lines. I used SKRWT to do so. It’s a keystone and lens-correction tool that has come in handy for me quite frequently, especially for architectural shots.

This is my favorite challenge theme thus far. 😉
Frenchmen Street is a popular destination to celebrate Halloween in New Orleans. The streets were packed with people, shoulder to shoulder. This certainly did help to keep warm with temperatures in the lower 50s. I usually don’t take my phone out at night, but I felt compelled to capture the costumes and atmosphere in all its grainy and out-of-focus glory.
To keep the park theme going from last week’s challenge, here’s a view from Lafreniere Park.
