This shot couldn’t have come out much better. I was driving about 65 mph and saw this dirt path leading to an oak tree. I got my iPhone ready and pressed the shutter when I thought I could get a shot without a car blocking the view.
I kind of missed these oak trees. They’re my favorite. Of course, now I miss the forests of Oregon.
Shot with camera+. Edited with TouchRetouch, Snapseed, and FilterStorm. Ugh Filterstorm. It took about 15 minutes to save this time because of poor coding. If I cancel a filter, it shouldn’t go through the process of rendering and canceling it during the save process.
I like the moment. But tell me, how much manipulation was done? (what was manipulated — for example, was the sky that blue?)
The original image was slightly less bright, but yes, the sky was very blue yesterday. I added contrast and structure in Snapseed, removed part of my car in the top right corner, and then reduced noise and added a slight blur at a lowered opacity set to soft light blending mode.
