These images should have been posted Sun., Sept. 13th. This is part of a sculpture for Endowment of the Arts that was done in conjunction with the 2015 Folk Festival in Greensboro, NC. The scculpture itself contains over 500 ladders donated by 300 people. Since there were a lot of people looking at the sculpture at ground level I decided to shoot for a design in the sky with the intention that I would play with filters and see what altered art or patterns I could use with these images. The original image on the left is unedited. It is a downsized file for the web so you will see some pixelization which can happen with lines. It was shot in HDR native 5C iPhone. The right image was maximizing shadows, highlights, midtones in PSE 11, and then applied the Saturatured Film effect x 4. Sharpening would have pixelated this image further. I do plan to work with the original iPhone image before reduciing the file size for the web. Plan to try more filters in various photo apps. Tomorrow for the next images I post you will see B & W and and the negative (invert) of the same which reminds me of infrared.
Another Rust Image from the dumpster. The left image is a close up of a key hole which also shows a lot of texture of the paint. Right image is the original image which is very pale and without detail. Did not see the highlights at the top of mount as an iPhone does not give you blinkies. Edited in PSE 11: straightened, increased highlights & midtones, sharpened. 
This image I took downtown in GSO on Sunday. Lighting was not that great but I liked this porch which reminds me of homes in the South. The sky is blown out from the sun coming from an angle behind. I need to go back when it is morning or overcast to see if I can get a better image. However, I never promised that all the images I posted would be great. I think the side angle is good to show the chairs on the porch and it would have been nice if there was a person in one of the chairs. Then there is some sign in the yard and some bagworms in the tree limbs which I could have removed with Touch Retouch. Native camera app iPhone 5C - slight editing in PSE 11.
Finally caught up to the date.
