Photo iPossibilities - Antique Look

After my Ah-Ha moment in October 2010 I spent months learning everything I could about capturing and processing with iPhone applications. I was an addict spending 12-14 hours a day looking for my next fix - an app that I could explore and play with.

Since that time I have been committed to processing ONLY on my iPhone and iPad. I want everyone to know that the images posted on my blog are possible with only these two devices. I am so committed that I have traveled to far away places with only my iPhone and iPad, mind you I did have a back up of each, just in case.

Long ago I set a goal to motivate, inspire and show what is photographically possible with iOS applications on the iPhone and iPad. I started teaching to help fulfill those goals.

Today I am launching, "Photo iPossibilities" a Monday column that will address questions from you regarding iOS photography to hopefully continue to fulfill my goal and keep you inspired.

My first column shows a before and after image from Cambodia. The original image was captured just before sunset as the boats were coming back from a tourist cruise. I processed the image in many steps before deciding on the final result. I knew from the beginning that I wanted to create an antique look. I made that choice for a couple reasons. 1. The scene appeared to be timeless. 2. I knew when I captured it that I would have a hard time getting any detail or light in the foreground since it was strongly backlight.

So if today's question was: Is it possible to create an antique image with only the iOS applications? The answer would be yes. In my example I used OldPhotoPro, Dynamic Light, Filterstorm and TouchRetouch. I also recommend Vintage HD (iPad), Pic Grunger, Noir as other options.
