What's still possible ....

... Taking indoor photos with my iPad.

I downloaded an app called "NightCap" to try to use my iPad for photos taken inside. It worked better than other camera apps that I tried.

Lite retouching done in PhotoForge2 and texture overlay masked in using the Blender App.

A window into a new phase ....

I discovered an iPad app journal from Happy Tapper that I would like to play with for awhile ..... Gratitude for iPad.

(Gratitude is an emotion expressing appreciation for what one has—as opposed to, say, a consumer-oriented emphasis on what one wants or needs.)

It is pretty easy to use and is straight forward. I simply jot down my blessings of the day and add a few photos as a visual reminder of the day if I wish. Kinda fun for now and won't take too many minutes to update each day. There is the possibility of emailing your page or exporting as a .pdf. Worth a second look if you believe positive memories make positive attitudes.

Daring Myself

Today is day 1 of blogging about iPad/iPhone apps, photography and all things related. It should be an interesting adventure .... One that I look forward to undertaking. To start I plan to jot a few notes here a couple of times a week. To start I offer 2 random plays with photos and iPad apps.

Done using Graffiti Me iPad app

Done using a texture layer set to exclusion blend mode.

Canon's A-DEP mode

Well, I learned what the A-DEP mode is actually about today while watching a Rick Sammons video from his Canon EOS personal trainer series. The A-DEP mode uses all the focus points so everything in the frame is in focus. This results in the frame having the maximum depth of field.

I had the belief it focused the main subject only or something similiar. Boy was a ever wrong.

Ever have a photography enlightening moment like this before? Care to share?

Test blog upload with multiple photos using Blogpress iphone app

Today is an off and on rainy day so I downloaded some iphone apps to re-tag my flickr account photos.


And downloaded another app to attempt blogging without a computer. And I will add an attached photo to see how that goes. Cheers!

Iphone app - yes we can

Takes an ordinary picture and adds red/white/blue to simulate the Obama Hope poster. I grabbed an older model truck photo that i had taken and thought the result was pleasing. But not really usuable with the word hope or change at the bottom. There didn't seem to be an option for adding your own word.

I could save it or email it but could not upload it nor edit the end result in any way. A "few uses" fun app but not a useful usable app

Blogpress app - review

I decided to give blogging a try again a couple of weeks ago since i can blog with iphone apps. I decided on the Blogpress app after reading reviews from other users. So far though i overall like the ease of use for the app. I do dislike that i cannot determine the end size of a photo that i add to the blog. Only thumbnail size is offered. Various photo apps output various sizes so i wish this one did as well.


What i have done is later gone onto a desktop and adjusted the size in the code. An extra step yes but i do like the fact that i can post to the blog on the fly.



I have also found a way of adding more than one picture to a post. Simply place the curser and add pictures as desired. There are connections for facebook and twitter but i use other apps for them.
