I love taking pictures with my phone. If you know what you’re doing and know some basic techniques and theory about photography in general, you can get some really great shots.
But I also love taking ordinary or uninteresting photos and transforming them into a type of photo art. Today’s picture is an example of that. I was out for a short walk after lunch and liked the way the tree in the foreground looked against a slightly cloudy sky. The end picture was a little dark and uninteresting, so I decided to monkey with it.
I cropped it and tuned it using Snapseed. Then I imported the picture into Distressed FX and played around with the pattern. I added the birds with Distressed FX as well. The result is a moody looking piece with a creepy vibe.
