Blurred image of a VW Beetle at the July 5, 2025, Conejo Valley Cars and Coffee event in Thousand Oaks, California. Original image taken the Bluristic iPhone app, then giving texture with DistressedFX and Snapped.
As always, a photo each day for 365 days. All shot and edited using Apps on my iPhone 5.
The photo was taken using the the iPhone camera App Formatt Hitech Filters. The original image can be found below.
To begin with, I used an App to take the picture that included a Live software Filter. The filter that I used was called a Neutral Density filter. This gave an effect of a slight tint to help take away the glare from the sunlight. For the first part of the edits I used the App called Handy Photo to delete the 'To Let' sign and the two bollards on the pavement outside the cottages, then clone the background in place of them. I also used the same App to crop the image and apply an Old Photo filter. Next I used the App Scratchcam to add some scratches and texture. I then used an App called Distressed FX to add more texture to the picture using the Cole overlay and the Lade Texture. Finally I passed the image through an App called Alt Photo using the Technicolor (Three-Strip) Vintage color filter.
The original photo is of the Lychgate Cottages (originally one property named Lychgate House, now split into three separate properties) that stand opposite the Old funeral entrance of the Holy Trinity Church Graveyard. The timber used for the cottages dates back to approx 1415 but the building was probably constructed about 1648 according to local records.

The photo was taken using the camera App ExposerGL for iPhone. The original image can be found below.
First of all I used a filter from the app ExposerGL called Miami Sunset, this was to give the sky a golden look. Next I used an app called Dynamic Light to brighten up the building a little using the Normal preset. I then used an app called Mystic to crop the image into a square and add a filter called El Paso. Finally I used my old favorite Distressed FX to add extra texture to the image using the Cole overlay and the Lazarus Texture.
The original photo was taken early this evening. It is of the old (first) Bablake school building in Coventry. The building dates back to the 14th century and was originally built to house priests of the adjacent St John's church (see my post from 27th April for details of the Church). Bablake School was founded in this building by Queen Isabella who gave the land for the School as well as the Church. This makes the school one of the oldest still functioning Schools in England. There have been expansions to this site over the years including land being granted to the school by Edward, the Black Prince (Queen Isabella's Grandson). The school was rebuilt in 1560. This building remained as the site of Bablake School until the 1890s when Bablake began to move to its current site in Coundon Road about a Mile away.
The building is classed as a Grade I listed building. The building is number 10 on my list of 19 (Grade I) Listed buildings in Coventry that I hope to photograph.
I'm an old Bob Dylan fan and as I haven't taken a shot of coffee for a little while I thought this would be appropriate for today's theme!
"One more cup of coffee for the road
One more cup of coffee 'fore I go.
To the valley below"
From Dylan's brilliant 1976 album Desire.
My technique - taken with my iPhone 5s and then grunted through a great APP - DistressedFX and sent straight to Flickr from my iPhone!

With Spain being the home of so many surrealists, couldn't resist doing this to a scene of Madrid's Plaza Mayor...(iPhone5, snapseed, picframe, distressedfx)
As always, a photo each day for 365 days. All shot and edited using Apps on my iPhone 5.
The photo was taken using the camera App 645 Pro for iPhone. The original image can be found below.
First of all I used the app Dynamic Light to edit the image with the standard preset. Next I used the app called Mextures to apply some lighting and textures to the image. The Layers that I applied were, Vignette, Concrete Jungle, Ford Screen, Leaker, Sky Earth Overlay and the Neutral Density Soft Light Overlay. Finally I used Distressed FX to add extra texture to the image using the Stirred overlay and the Lazarus Texture.
The original photo was taken this afternoon on the 'Priory Garden' area of the Cathedral Quarter of Coventry. The image is of The exposed foundations of the original (the First of Three) of Coventry's Cathedrals. The Cathedral of St. Mary's Priory dates back to the time of Lady Godiva and her husband Leofric, Earl of Mercia. They founded a Benedictine monastery in 1043 that was dedicated to St. Mary. About 50 years later Papal authorisation was given for the monastery to become a Priory and Cathedral. The cathedral lasted until the Mid 16th Century, when it was destroyed as part of the Dissolution of the Monasteries during King Henry VIII's reign. St Mary's was the only English cathedral to be destroyed during this time. For nearly 400 years Coventry went without a Cathedral until in 1918 the parish Church of St Michael became the Second Cathedral in Coventry's history. Part of the ruins of St. Mary's Priory Cathedral were uncovered in 1856 when the Blue Coat School was rebuilt on the site (the Building in the background). In 1999 as part of the Phoenix Initiative, archaeologists from the Channel 4 TV programme 'Time Team' conducted a dig to help find more remains of the Priory Cathedral. They returned again in 2001 for a second programme to see the progress that was being made.
The Priory Remains are classed as a both a Grade I listed building and a Scheduled Ancient Monument. It is number 18 on my list of 19 (Grade I) Listed buildings and number 8 on my list of 10 Scheduled Ancient Monument's in Coventry that I hope to photograph.

Back story: Later in the evening, after dinner, in Warsaw, we were walking back to our hotel. There was still some night life, at that hour. This scene caught my eye: Two involved restaurant personnel, doing their own thing, and an involved couple sharing an ice cream cone, and an intimate moment.
There was very cool lighting, with associated colors which enhanced the ambiance. I captured the scene with my iphone11pro. Later, I edited on my iPad Pro in Snapseed. Further editing in DistressedFX , with tone and textures, helped create a very moody tableau.

As always, a photo each day for 365 days. All shot and edited using Apps on my iPhone 5.
The photo was taken using the camera App Huemore for iPhone. The original image can be found below.
First of all I used the app Dynamic Light to boost the lighting to the image with the Standard setting. Next I used PhotoToaster to edit the image. The edits were made by applying the Happy preset. I then used Distressed FX to add extra texture to the image using the Egret overlay and the Lade Texture. Finally I passed the image through PhotoToaster again to add the Shadow II frame. This is one of the new updated frames for PhotoToaster that have now been provided as standard with version 5 of the app. This shadow for this frame I hope gives the image a feeling of a canvas hanging on a wall.
The original photo was taken at lunchtime today in the Eastern Green area of Coventry. The image is of the parish Church of St Andrew’s. The late Victorian church was established and consecrated on November 4th 1875. It was built as part of a suite of buildings including the school, Vicarage and stable block. The Church was designed by Samuel Sanders Teulon, the notable 19th-century English Gothic Revival architect.
