Hey good evening, or night!

For one or another thing my photo session got delayed, and when I eventually managed to go outside, the day was already getting darker. I decided to bring Leo along as we were also going grocery shopping and he's often of good help doing groceries.

Nice duotone effect using phone filters.

Anyway, first we went to Kahvisaari, I decided that because I had tried it before (it was exactly the same place) and it didn't go quite well, I should try it again today.

(It was like a dejavu of sorts.)

I whipped out the camera, and turned it on...

"No card in camera"

Not again!?

(Leo found it funny though.)

Some irony. I still hadn't put all those other memory cards in the bag, and the one I had just emptied was still in the card reader of my computer. And to think that I had just posted some photos of that fated day earlier today!

What can I say? No photos today...

Not.

I'll take some photos if I have to shoot them on my phone! And so I did...

Playing with filters.

It was somewhat dark already, so the phone camera didn't do very good job with colours, I had to resort to playing with the filters app on my phone.

This blue building got oversaturated by the phone, so I fixed it by desaturating the whole picture.

Some times the filters do amazing stuff. In the first shot, the scenery over the lake was badly whitebalanced by the phone, and very, very, very blue. However I managed to create an enticing duotone image by first applying an RGB swap filter, then creating a negative of the resulting image, adding a sepia filter, and then applying negative filter again. The resulting image becomes like black and white, but with a blue toning on the blacks while white becomes more white, or lighter blue.

I guess I will have to post the process in a separate post some day... I just tried it on a different photo and it seems to work.

Here's the original file for comparison:

Very blue.

Well, it didn't all go to waste now, did it? I learned some new tricks and well, maybe I'll keep my memory cards in the bag from this point on. Lesson learned, hopefully. ;)

See ya tomorrow!
