Day 243 of 365 - Kenilworth Water Tower!

Welcome to day 243 of 365 (Finished image after Editing)

The original photo was taken today at the edge of Kenilworth. It is an image of The Water Tower of Kenilworth. The tower was built during the 1770's and for just over 70 years was used as a Windmill to grind up corn and cereal. The tower was later converted into a water tower to help supply water to the town of Kenilworth. It remained the towns primary water source until 1939 when the water supply was upgraded. The tower still remained as the secondary water source until the early 1960's. After that the tower was sold off and it was converted into a private residence in the early 1970's.

As always the shot was taken with my iPhone 5. The photo was taken using the camera App Huemore for iPhone. The original image can be found here: Unedited original Image.

First of all I used the app PicsPlay Pro to edit the image. This was done by straightening the image then applying the HDR Ground 1 filter to the picture to help make the colours a little more vibrant. Next I used Mextures to apply some lighting and texture to the picture. The preset that I applied was called Red + Blue by Jordy Van Solm. After that I used Distressed FX to add an Overlays and Texture to the picture, the Overlay was called Egret and the Texture called Vanilla. Finally I used PhotoToaster to add the Intense FX to the picture along with a Soft dark Vignette. I also applied the Canvas texture and added the Shadow II frame.
