Steve Brydzinski - Crit 4: Post-Processing/Memory Recipe

POW #4

Using: 

- iPhone 5

- ios 7.1

- Snapseed App by Google

For this crit, I took the "post processing" more seriously than the "memory" aspect, in hopes that it would create a feeling of memory or a piece in time.  I tried about 5 or 6 different apps that offered vintage, old time, or other filters...none compared to the app by Google called "Snapseed."  I felt myself being drawn to this app every time I would edit the photos for the crit.  At first I would try out one of the other apps, but would almost always go right back to the Snapseed app.  It offers TONS of filters that are completely customizable.  For this photo, it highlights a space in my heart for skateboarding, and means a lot.  The simplicity, to the photo and the situation is the story of my life.  A skateboarder doesn't need much to be happy.  

In this photo, I wanted to capture a b&w feel to add to the simplicity.

Using Snapseed:

1. Upload photo into app

2. BW filter

3. Grain turned up to 25%

4. Drama filter

5. Contrast turned up to 15%

6. Export to camera roll

I highly suggest this app.  Taking a look at my other photos in this crit, most of them were created using fx and filters from this app.
