Day 49 of 366 - The Old Grammar School!

Today's image was taken in the City Centre of Coventry. It is a view of the Grade I listed Old Grammar School. The building was originally built partly as a Hospital and part chapel in the mid 12th Century. The main purpose of the Chapel was to provide care and relief to the poor in the city. After the dissolution of the monasteries during the Reign of King Henry VIII the building was sold to John Hales with the idea that he founded a Free School in the name of the King. After years of standing empty, the building has been restored and refurbished and will soon be used by the Coventry Transport Museum as an extension to the museum.

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

First I used the app Snapseed to edit the picture. I cropped and straightened the image, then I used the Tonal Contrast filter. I then boosted the saturation along with some detail in the image. Next I used the app Handy Photo to clone away the street lamppost that was in the way when I took the original photo. After that I used Mextures to apply the guest formula called Shiver by Ana Gomez De Leon. After I used DistressedFX to apply the Stirred overlay and the Vanilla texture. I then flattened the image and then applied the Cole overlay and the Lade texture. Finally I used AltPhoto to add the Expired (pink highlights) Toy Camera filter and frame.
