I've been having fun playing around with the Hipstamatic tintype app. I visited my aunt recently at her assisted living/nursing home facility in Tampa, Florida. The building is over 100 years old and was originally called The Old Folks Home (how's that for not politically correct?) It's a beautiful brick building with large porticos and lovely columns. I cropped a little from the top to make it more square but it's basically straight out of the phone. You are able to adjust the depth of field and grain, etc. before you finish processing in the app.
Thanks for looking:S3:

Super point of view with the juxtaposition of the columns and the curls. I really like the in & out of focus look with the texture and blurring of the tintype finish and framing. Being able to distinguish trees in the bkgd give these columns a sense of place. Well seen and processed, Cheryl! I always love your unique point of view in your images.

The tintype look, itself, is an appealing part of the image. Beyond that, the in-focus area nicely draws attention to the details on the tops of the columns.

Very nice! This is a new app to me -- not that anyone could keep up with them. Love the juxtaposition of the curly-ques, although I suspect there is a better term for them.

Your picture definitely highlights and shows off the details of these columns.

I like the detail of the circles with the lines of the pillars converging inwards towards them. I don't know much about tin type, but it looks very authentic. ( I looked it up on Google) I wonder about cropping some from the top and making the image more about shapes. I find the darker mass at the top a little overpowering for the rest of the image. Good eye to capture this composition.

Nice effect. really has the look of a legacy photo process.
