A New Look
I was playing around with some apps and found a new look. An IG friend @tesswyatt told me she thought it looked like Polaroid emulsion transfers and encouraged me to do more. So I did. Using Snapseed to set the base, TangledFX to create an over the top version and Blender to blend detail with…

Flying Away
A fellow Instagrammer, @randommarcus or Marcus Carlberg, let me know what app he used to shoot one striking photo in his stream. It was Fotor HDR. I tried it out this week on a flight. Here’s the color image as shot but cropped square using the rule of thirds to place the wing tip: There are…

Does Your Contrast Show
I found a great app through Geri Centonze’s Art of Mob. In mid-February she profiled John Hornbeck’s app called Contrast. I really liked the look of the images so decided to experiment with it. Here are a few images. One of the things I love about this app is the richness and certainty of the blacks.…

The Power of Perspective

Arizona Cactus Garden at Stanford
When I sang praises of the Ruth Bancroft Garden in Walnut Creek, friends suggested that I check out the cactus garden at Stanford. Two attempts to find it and 3 different maps later, I can say it is fantastic! Originally planted in the 1880’s this garden has some pre-historic looking specimens. As you can tell…

Experiments in Mobile Photography
My husband and I went to Ridge Vineyards last weekend to celebrate his birthday and enjoy the last days of summer. We found an open picnic table under an umbrella on top of the mountain and from this vantage point we looked over all the San Francisco Bay area. It was a wonderful mini-vacation. A…

Insights from Mobile Photography on the Run
Lately, the path is not so clear. But the beauty that surrounds me everyday is and I am grateful to see much of that while out running. Running gives me the chance to know my body’s mind and sometimes the pictures I take on a run give me insights later on. In retrospect, this week’s…
