Day 114 of 365 - Old Blue Coat School!

Welcome to day 114 of 365 (Finished image after Editing)

The original photo was taken early this evening. It is of the Old Blue Coat School. The building was originally built and opened in 1714 as the first Charity School for girls in Coventry. The current building was opened in 1857 after been rebuilt on the same site. The site was originally part of the original St Mary's Cathedral (the first of Coventry's three Cathedrals). The evidence of this can be seen today in the cellars of the building which are actually inside one of the original pillars of the Cathedral, these date back to around 1150AD.

The building is is a Grade II* Listed building and is number 2 on my list of 24 (Grade II*) Listed buildings in Coventry.

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 Snapseed to edit the image. The edits were made by sharpening the image a little then boosting the saturation, ambiance and brightness. Next I used an app called HDR Art to edit the photo. The edits were made by applying the Ancient filter to the picture to help age the image. Finally I used the App Distressed FX to add extra texture to the image using the Egret overlay and the Whispers Texture.
