February 9--Cutout

[zyzyly]

At certain times of the year, I get to see the sun just coming up as I exit my "village" and head toward the main road. There is a little park near our house with some trees. I go past it every day, and don't pay too much attention unless the sun is starting to come up, and then it is a pretty sight. If I have a second, I will stop and take a picture.

My iPhone 6 does not do a good job in low light. I think the iPhone 5 was a lot better for that. But in most other respects it is a good camera. Good enough that I don't carry my real camera around much anymore unless the intent is to take pictures.



Anyway, I took this picture this morning and was disappointed at all the noise in the dark sky. I tried using a noise reduction filter, but that really just made it worse. So I tried a few of the artistic filters and came up with something I liked. It's not really a photograph anymore--it is now something else.



I kind of like what became of it.

I think it's cool; it reminds me of frost on glass a bit.

Because you produce the work you do, I might assume you know about changing the exposure by touching different parts of the screen, but I'm surprised by how many people don't know, so I am going to throw it out there.

I like taking photos and making paintings out of them with photo app programs. I like your use of it on this one.

I think you're right about the camera on the iPhone 6 and 5. I love my 6+ but the camera was better on the 5.

Nice pictures regardless.

I love your artistic 'photo'!
