Day 292 of 366 - Ye Olde Semi Detached House!

The image today was taken late this Afternoon in the Spon Street area of Coventry. The view is one of what is thought to be the oldest pair of Semi Detached houses in England. The buildings date back to the 15th Century and were restored between 1969 - 1970. The restoration of these houses marked the beginning of the ambitious Spon Street conservation and relocation project.

The photo was taken using the app ExposerGL on my iPhone 6.

First I used the app Handy Photo to delete a couple of Ballards and an Advertisement sign from the front of the building. After this I used Snapseed to further edit the picture. I cropped and Straightened the image and applied the Tonal Contrast preset. I then boosted the Contrast, Saturation, Warmth and Shadows. I also decreased the Highlights. After this I used the app Mextures to apply the formula called Bleu by Cora Edwards. Next I used the app DistressedFX to add the Stirred Overlay and the Bliss Texture. Finally I used PhotoToaster to add the Clarify preset, the Drama FX and a Large dark vignette. I then applied the Old Paper preset and the Leather frame.
