Embarcadero and onOne Perfect Effects 4

I have not been out shooting much recently and decided to take an impromptu trip to the City in order to remedy this. It was a sunny if albeit brisk day, so a walk along the water seemed like the right idea for a photo exploration. I rode the Caltrain to the San Francisco Station and then walked along the Bay to the Ferry Building. I have done this walk several times before and have plenty of images of the Bay Bridge already, but came across lots of new and interesting things on this occasion. The foremost being the fishing boats that were casting nets a stone's throw away from the shore. My original plan was to visit other parts of the city as well, but the walk along the Embarcadero ended up taking a couple hours.

The images below are all from this brief photo excursion and were edited in onOne Perfect Effects 4 Free. I downloaded it a few days ago and was amazed that it was completely free. Obviously, there is additional software that they hope you will purchase, but the free Perfect Effects 4 works great! It is basically comprised of different filters that can be adjusted, brushed in and out, and stacked. It is a fun program and in my opinion can be used to create some nice results.

Thank you for stopping by Dirty Thirty Photography and take care!
