Day 26 of 366 - Fords Hospital!

Today's image was taken earlier this evening in the City Centre of Coventry. The view is of Fords Hospital. The Grade I Listed building was built at the beginning of the 16th century. It was used as an Almshouse for some of the poor Men and Women of Coventry. After it was enlarged and modernised in the early 19th Century it became an Almshouse for Women only. Even though it it was nearly destroyed in the blitz on Coventry during the Second World War it was carefully restored and is still in use to this day.

The photo was taken using the App ProCamera on my iPhone 6.

First I used the app Camera+ to edit the image. I used the Clarity filter to boost the details of the picture, I also added a little saturation and extra brightness. Next I used DistressedFX to add the Cole overlay and the Lade texture. Finally I used the app Alt Photo to add the Expired (Pink Highlights) Toy Camera filter to the image and the Grungy (white,tabbed) Boarder. I think this helps to give the image a vintage look.
