On Wednesday and Thursday mornings for sure, and sometimes, other mornings too, I drive past the place where two towns meet.
Atlantic Boulevard divides them and the Atlantic Ocean is their natural eastern boundary. Atlantic Beach begins on the north side of the street and Neptune Beach is to the south. They meet in the middle and share the kernel of community – restaurants and shops – that make up the shared Town Center. Like many drivers, I like to circle the roundabout for my morning view of another day just beginning over the ocean. There’s talk amongst the citizens and politicians of our two communities about a proposed sculpture that would occupy the focal point within the roundabout. I love art and would ordinarily support this if the towns’ coffers can afford it and that, of course, opens up another discussion about needs and wants that I’ll leave to them. I’ll add, however, that I’m not fond of the sculpture over at Atlantic Beach City Hall. I just don’t…love it.
On to the photos. All taken from the inside of the car:
iPhone* camera using natural light and no app., one morning last week.
Just this morning, natural light with no enhancements.
This was taken one morning last week, with natural light and no enhancements. The following shots are the same picture, using different apps.
Obviously it’s been fun using the applications I’ve procured from the App Store which makes my non-camera bearable for use. But I really long for the macro function, and a bit of a telephoto lens.
I’d love to know a) if you like the images altered by the apps and b) what type of camera you have and do you like it?
