Day 324 of 366 - Parish Church in Knowle!

The image for today was taken this Afternoon in the village of Knowle near to the town of Solihull. The view is of Knowle Parish Church. Parts of the Church date back over 600 years. However for nearly 400 years the Parish Church in Knowle was actually a smaller Daughter church to the Church in nearby Hampton in Arden. Due to the local river flooding on a regular basis Knowle Parish Church was saved from destruction during the time of the Dissolution of Monasteries by King Henry VIII at the request of the local villagers.

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

First I used the app Snapseed to edit the photo. I Cropped and Straightened the image and applied the Tonal Contrast filter. I then boosted the Contrast, Saturation, Ambiance and Warmth. I also decreased the Shadows and Highlights. Next I used the app Mextures to apply the formula called Wanderlust by Ana Gōmez De Leōn. I then used the app DistressedFX to add the Stirred overlay and the Bliss texture. Finally I used PhotoToaster to add the Recover Highlights preset, the Drama FX and a Medium Dark Vignette. I then applied the Old Paper texture and the Shadow II frame.
