Ian Watson: Crit 3 and 4 recipes

For some reason, it doesn't look like my third crit recipe is on here, even though I'm pretty sure I posted it. Oh well. This week, I'll be doing a double recipe to make up for it.

CRIT 3: THE LONG EXPOSURE

Phone: LG G3
Model number: VS985 4G (Verizon)
OS: Android 4.4.2 (KitKat)
Captured in: Camera FV-5 Lite
Edited in: VSCOcam

I was actually playing with doing long exposures while hanging with a few friends at lunch. I managed to capture my one friend freaking out over something while people were biking and walking by. I was holding the phone incredibly still while using the table as a base.

After, I loaded it into VSCOcam and did minimal editing to exposure and contrast, to make it a tiny bit darker.

CRIT 4: THE SELF PORTRAIT

Phone: LG G3
Model number: VS985 4G (Verizon)
OS: Android 4.4.2 (KitKat)
Captured in: Vignette
Edited in: Vignette

This photo was a bit of a fluke, truth be told. I was in the strangest bathroom in the basement of a very fancy hotel in NYC. Since I hadn't ever seen a bathroom as nice, I decided to take a strange, almost surreal photo in Vignette in the mirror. I used the Holga style Vignette filter as it took the image, which resulted in the shot you see above. I did no editing in post, and for the life of me I could not get another image from that shoot to come out in a way that I thought was as good as this.
