Under the Hood

There's a part missing, the power steering pump. I recently removed it for a rebuild and took this picture (cell phone, again). I played around with it in PhotoShop Express (also on the phone) and this is the result.



Two weeks later, the battery and alternator were also replaced. It was an expensive month.

Hi Lee,

Well, you would know that I'm attracted to anything to do with cars.

While my cell phone has a camera, I have to admit I've never taken a picture with it. I'm pretty much ignorant about that whole facet of photography. I'm sure that phone cameras are much more advanced than I expect. Your shot here is evidence of that. I was not at all aware that processing apps for cell phones were available. Boy, I need to get current on all this stuff.

I'm so glad to see you out and around,

Tom

Very Impressive for a Cell Phone Shot! I only imagine the closer the better with a Cell Phone..

Thank you, Gents. I took it with my new Droid X, which has an 8mp camera. For this shot, I upped the contrast and saturation, then added the border. Minimal functions in the Express app, but servicable. No sharpening function at all. After that, I just uploaded it into Photobucket right from the phone.

It's good to be back.
