Kendel Seigler: Crit 4, Memory/Vintage

iPhone 5s iOS 8.1
apps used: iPhone editor, Fotor version 5.2.0.388

What I really enjoyed about taking this photos were the elements surrounding the main subject. The vintage bike is positioned in front of a wall that mirrors the "vintage" them and the dirty crate + cone represent "trash" that denotes this might be a forgotten area. The neglected foliage also adds to this. To capture this image, I focused on the immediate area and chose not to include a wider frame because there's a newer construction right outside of the frame that would have taken away from the tone. I did have to crop a bit using the iPhone editor to make sure I only included the essential elements. To make the photo look more vintage without adding a campy filter, I desaturated the photo in Fotor. I didn't make it completely black and white because the complimentary colors are important. Both the bike and brick wall are red. The foliage, cone, and crate are all green. So even though this is still a color photo, it can be seen a quite "duo chrome."
