September 30 x 30 Day 5

Decided to go on the whole page, hey why skimp. Also added a bit of color with a reddish conte stick  I like the effect. Another close crop of the wall in the wooded area.

September 30 x 30 Day 4

Oop,s why does this have a bluish overcast. May do a retake of the photo although it is still monochromatic. Did a quick fix on the phone... looks much better although I am leaving the toned image as well. Oh and learned a new how to edit on the phone... don't schedule!!!!

In the Horsha there is a concrete wall that gets some interesting shadows when the sun is setting. This is mainly what drew me to making the shoot there in the first place.  There are lots of dry weeds at the base of the wall.

September 30 x 30 Day 3

Well, I think I have learned how to take advantage of the camera. Taking a shot,cropping,resizing, rename and maybe some exposure evaluation. One click, sharing on a new post on Blogger App. Less than 5 minutes.  Now ready to open on the PC YAY! Only thing it seems to want to save after each fix, can live with that just have to remember to delete the ones I don't need. All photos are automatically backed on Google Photos..Cool!!!

This is a section of one of my shots in the the Horsha (wood) near my house. Still feeling my way with the gray paper which I wish had more tooth with various sticks.
