Before and After: Classic as Classic

Another old classic from the local car show.

Editing:
I started with the HDR Look filter from ON1 Photo Raw. Then used the Black & White filter, followed by a Split Tone filter to add some sepia color. I used a Photo Filter to add additional color in certain parts of the photo to give an uneven color effect. A film texture I found online was added and a Lens Blur filter. An antique border was then applied to finish off the look.

Before and After: Corvette Postcard

A creative postcard look using a photo and ON1 Photo Raw 2019 and two textures I found online a few years ago.

Editing:
First started with a HDR Look filter and a Black & White filter. Next, I applied a Dynamic Contrast filter. Then comes the first of three textures, first a clean edge paper texture, second texture is a film texture found online, and a third texture of a torn antique postcard. A brown Photo Filter was added to give it a old sepia tone. A vignette was applied followed by a Lens Blur filter. And finally, a simple white rounded keyline border was added.

Before and After: The Old Ford

Capture this old truck at a local car show in 2018. They don't build them like this any more.

Editing:
Use ON1 Photo Raw 2019 by starting with a vintage chrome LUTs and a postcard texture. Added a simple rounded Lens Blur followed by another texture, a light leak texture. Brighten up the photo with a Sunshine filter and a Tone Enhancer filter. A vignette was applied and finished with a sloppy border.

Before and After: Veterans of Memorial Day 2019

Posting a before and after photo from yesterday's local Memorial Day parade of a few veterans. I hate to say it but our local Memorial Day parade was disappointing. It was very small compared to last years. Fewer people in the parade, fewer floats, and one marching high school band (usually we have other bands from other small county schools). Also, it did not have that patriot feel to it. In the end, I shot few photos this parade. Sigh. 

Well, here is the before and after edited with ON1 Photo Raw 2019. Eventually I will have more photos to post later, possibly on my Instagram.

Color and BW: Fall Into

While on Google+, I did a series of "color versus bw" where I posted a color version and a black and white version of the same photo to see which one people preferred. So I am starting this series here on my blog with a shot from my visit to Honey Run Falls.

Before and After: Bees of Black & White

I find I am enjoying using ON1 Photo Raw for creating black and white images. The textures, borders, lens blur, etc. allows me to be creative in the process. Here is an example from a shot I took at the Brown Family Environmental Center near Gambier, Ohio.

Editing
I started with a Tone Enhancer filter to add some contrast to the photo followed by a Black & White filter. To add more more detail contrast, I added aDynamic Contrast filter and added some film grain with the Film Grain filter. Then I added a film texture I found somewhere online. A Split Tone filter was used to add a very small amount of color to the photo. Another Tone Enhancer was applied but only to the background to darken it up so the bees and flower in the foreground stand out more. A Lens Blur then was added to blur the background. Photo was finished off with simple white border.

Before and After: April 13, 2019

Photographed during a simple walk through the local city park. A simple like nature shot along the lake.

Editing:
Once again, use ON1 Photo Raw 2019, I started with a simple LUTs called Vintage Matte. Then I applied a Tone Enhancer filter to increase the contrast and a Photo Filter to add warmth to the photo. A Color Enhancer filter was applied to give the photo more of a fall feel. Next comes a postcard texture and a Lens Blur filter. Finish off with a vignette and a emulsion border.
