The Monday of week 5 of Sally’s Phoneography and Non-SLR Digital Photo Challenge, is for editing and processing photos taken using the afore-mentioned mediums. Being pretty much of a purist, I stray not far from the original photos I take. The best I could do was take color from the original using Snapseed, adding a vintage effect, and giving it a bit of a boost in PicMonkey. And then, getting pretty reckless, I went to Pixlr Express to try one more variation.
The return from Oahu late last night finds me still on Hawaiian time, and in a rather dreamy kinda mood. Let me know which of the above photos is your favorite, if you feel like leaving a comment, if not, let’s just hang loose.
And, after publishing, and having a suggestion that it would have been nice to include the original photo…
Good suggestion, bulldog.

I have to agree with the retro look, Angeline. Lovely capture and both edits work well, just give a different feel.

Each one is wonderful. I think the 1st one looks mysterious. Perfect for a jazz club. 😉

Close to natural is the best!
I love the memories that swirl in my mind as I look at your photos. Being Filipina, I grew up with the romance of music, having a father that loved to sing and play his ukulele or his guitar. Thanks for the post.

Angeline, like that you selected a retro patina for the image. It works so well. I also am a purist, but enjoy the discovery of re-imagining some of my photographs. Cannot wait to hear more about your trip. Happy Photo Challenge.

Thanks, Sally. I like the retro look as well…old Hawaiian feel. I must stretch and get out of the box and do more experimenting on edits.

I like the illustrative nature of the second photo the most and the sepia-toned version is very welcoming. Good job with both versions.

Thanks, Allan. I really thought I liked the first one better, then the more I looked at the second one’s coloring and effect, I think I’ve grown to like that one best.
