Before and After: Rastin Tower

A shot from last summer of the Rastin Observation Tower in Ariel-Foundation Park in Mount Vernon, Ohio. The tower was once a smoke stack that was part of an old glass factory. The factory was torn down when the land it sat on became part of the park. But the smoke stack was kept and converted into a observation tower.

New Canon EOS RP

Canon is coming out with a full-frame mirrorless camera! At a price around $1700+ for body, lens, and a EF mount. Maybe the day I go mirrorless might happen sooner like next year.

Before and After: The White Baron

Taking a picture I shot in June 2017 from the yearly WACO Reunion event held on last weekend of June. The event is held at the Wynkoop Airport in Mount Vernon, Ohio. Flyers fly in for the event from various parts of the country to this small grass runway airport in which they spent two to three days at. This years 60th Anniversary will be June 25th to the 30th, they added two extra days to offer people more opportunity to come out to check out this vintage planes. The vintage aircrafts come from the Waco Aircraft Company (WACO) which was located in Troy, Ohio (USA) and were produced between 1919 and 1947. You can read the history of the Waco Company here.

For the editing of this photo, I used only ON1 Photo Raw 2019. After doing some basic adjustments in the Develop section, I moved to the Effects to create a photo that had some vintage look. First, I started with a LUTs called Vintage Matte (Rome). Next, I applied a cool Vintage filter and then a Tone Enhancer to increase the Contrast. Color Adjustment filter was then added to adjusted the Red, Yellow and Green in the photo by Hue/Saturation as well as the brightness. I then added a Curves filter with a slight S-curve. To give the photo a more vintage look, I added a postcard texture with the Textures filter. Then a tilt shift blur was applied with the Lens Blur filter and a subtle vintage was added. The photo was finished off with a sloppy border (no.3).
