I was messing around with my new iPhone, which I’ve had for a few months now. I haven’t bothered looking at the settings because I thought nothing had changed, and it was the same old. Sure felt that way. But ah, I was wrong because I found a new camera filter, which I’m now excited about.
I shot some of these pics using the silvertone filter. Love how deeply dark and rich the black looks. Most b&w filters I’ve tried don’t offer enough contrast, imo. I always have to bump it up in Photoshop later.
I haven’t taken any photos in the past year other than of my fur babies, and artwork. Now that covid numbers are waaay down (thanks to President Biden & science), it’s getting warmer, and I’ve found this new filter, I’m excited to go on a little adventure. I think it would be fun to shoot an entire outing with this filter, and pretend color hasn’t been invented yet. 😜
PS: now that I think about it, the silvertone filter might have been on my old phone, also. I really don’t pay attention to filters because I use the camera on my phone mostly to take photos for my listings. Please forgive me if I’m just discovering this, and I’m thinking it’s all brand new and shiny. It’s probably been around for 10 years, and I never noticed. lol
