Photo Walk for Exercise, Moody Park on Longacre, Fairview Heights, Illinois
While walking through the park late one night, I was startled by an unexpected noise. While reaching for my trusty iPhone 4, I spun around just in time to witness, what I can only explain as a once-in-a-lifetime experience, this rotating disc pictured in the photo. And, no, the disc is not one of those soon to be unidentified objects that folks my age call a CD.
(Disclaimer: Actually, it wasn't late at night. I'm usually in bed shortly after dark. And, some "slight" post-processing might have been involved.)
This totally iOS photo was captured on an iPhone 4 and transferred to the iPad via the Photo Transfer app. I used iPhoto to crop, adjust contrast, add spot lightening and darkening, and select a black and white filter.
Snapseed was used to add additional spot lightening and darkening, along with the tilt-shift and center focus filters. ArtStudio was selected to provide brush strokes and spot blurring effects.
I returned to iPhoto to further adjust the black and white filter, and finished with TouchRetouch HD to clone grass in the foreground.
This second photo is the original, unprocessed image.
