Filter Photography Challenge: Blueprint Style

Nov 14, 2011 07:48 PM

I don't have a cool cell phone to use apps to filter my pictures. I think that the pictures taken with apps can look really cool though. I think someone should make an app that does what I did in Photoshop to the following photos. My wife calls it blueprint style.

Transamerica Building in San Francisco

Blue-toned skyline of a modern city featuring tall skyscrapers.

Nob Hill Hotels in San Francisco

Cityscape with buildings and vehicles in a blue tone.

Sear's Tower (Willis Tower) in Chicago

Modern skyscraper viewed from below against a bright blue sky.

Lone Cyprus in Monterrey California (I'll call it antique blue China style for more organic shots)

Frozen landscape with ice formations under a blue sky.

Another shot on the 17 mile drive in Monterrey. Note: Brown can work as well I think.

Driftwood formation against a dramatic sky.

I don't see why a camera app couldn't do this. All I've done is remapped where the colors go. You could have a couple of sliders down at the bottom and adjust until the shot looked good.
