Insta-apps #24 This daisy inspired tonight’s #instaapps - Selective Focus. Looking at the gerber daisy you might think it was taken with a DSLR. On the contrary, with a little editing you can make your iPhone photo look like you own an expensive piece of kit. 1) Open camera+ and photo where you want the centre portion of the photo to be in focus 2) Apply both the miniaturise and DOF filters from the Special menu in the FX effects. 3) You’ll see in the photo that the DOF blurred it vertically on the left and right and the miniaturisation blurred the photo at the top and bottom. 4) It helps that the flower was also on a solid colour surface (white in this case), so you don’t see the blurred surface at first glance, as the eyes go directly to the textured colours, i.e. a focal point! 5) I fiddled with lighting a bit and then saved it out. 6) Uploaded to IG and applied the earlybird filter. But it took away too much colour. 7) Grabbed saved out photo and reopened in camera+ and applied vibrant filter at about half intensity. 8) Uploaded to IG the second time and there you go! x
