Camera Awesome is in a Word: Awesome

When I first downloaded Smug Mug's Camera Awesome, I played around with some of the free effects, which are terrific. Then I dithered: which ones to buy of the myriad ones left. I couldn't decide. Sometimes it pays to procrastinate - now you can buy them all within the app for one low price (I think it is 9.99) for a limited time. No more dithering. I bought them all and am extremely appy.

I love love love painting my iPhone photos. Although I like apps like Painteresque and Autopainter a great deal, I am happiest when I can actually paint the strokes myself on a photo. (Or mush them in Pixel Blend to mimic SX70.) So imagine my delight when I found Impressionist Art. It doesn't save at full rez - but that doesn't bother me. I just uprez it in Iris when combining with the original. Then I use either Blender or DXP to further combine painted image and original. So far, I've only worked with flowers - I'm hoping that it will work as well with landscapes and other images.

iPhone Photo Art Recipe or How To Grunge a Butterfly

iPhone Photo Art Recipe or How To Grunge a Butterfly
 How To Grunge a Butterfly
Often I artify my photos so much with so many apps that I forget which ones I used on a given image. I get lost in the process, which is truly wonderful when making art and not so great when I want to duplicate a process. However, I was asked for this butterfly grunge soup recipe, so here goes to the best of my knowledge and recall: the steps to A Wing And A Prayer.

Words can't make a mediocre image good, but they can elevate a good photo to great and a great photo to even better. So said my favorite instructor at the San Francisco Art Institute, Jack Fulton. I believe it is absolutely true. With that in mind, I am including John Derby's full story with his wonderful iPhone image: The Most Complimentary Cigar.  Enjoy.

Paris is truly an iPhoneographer's dream. It is not, however, a wifi dream. Hence the paucity of images posted here lately. Be forewarned: that is about to change! As I sift through the ginormous pile of images on my hard drive, I'll be putting them up on iPhone Diva: here and on the Facebook page. And showing some guest photo galleries in between, so I don't hog all the space.
