Day 325 of 366 - Holy Trinity Church!

The image for today was taken this late this afternoon between the Broadgate area and the Cathedral Quarter in Coventry City centre. The view is of the Grade I listed Holy Trinity Church. The original church was built about the beginning of the 12th century. It seems that the church was built as a side chapel for the much larger Benedictine Priory of St Mary (the First of Coventry's Three Cathedral's) which was located next door to Holy Trinity and founded by Earl Leofric and Lady Godiva. During the Mid 13th Century the church was nearly completely destroyed in a fire, the only part of the original church to survive was the North Porch (which still survives to this day). During the 15th Century the painting of the Last Judgement was created above the tower arch. This is now considered to be one of the most impressive Doom wall-painting now remaining in an English church.

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

First I used the app Snapseed to edit the photo. I Cropped the image and applied the Tonal Contrast filter. I then boosted the Contrast, Saturation, Ambiance, Shadows and Warmth. I also added a vignette and decreased the Highlights to help bring out some more detail in the sky. Next I used the app Stackables to apply the formula called Ancient Ruins. I then used the app DistressedFX to add the Stirred overlay and the Bliss texture. Finally I used PhotoToaster to add the Warm preset, the Drama FX and a Medium Dark Vignette. I then applied the Scratched texture and the Leather frame.
