Nik's Snapseed - a go to app

After yesterdays post I started looking through more of my images of the last drive through Zion. It seems that once I arrived in Las Vegas the next day and got the iP4S I have abandoned so many wonderful photos that deserve to be posted that I had taken with the iP4.

I hope to move more of them to my new iPad so I can start my processing workflow once again. Seems like I have been doing most of the processing lately on my iPhone because, well, it seems easier.

Today's image was processed with Snapseed, including the black and white conversion. Snapseed is becoming a favorite app now that they included sharpening and structure. I have always liked the invisible sliders and the ability to see the before and after, and of course the u-point technology. Nik has done a great job for those of us who love to process with our Apple Devices.

Autumn in Zion

The first sign of Autumn in Zion

Autumn arrived in Zion about 3 weeks late this year. So I only caught the first of the color at the end of my trip. Just before the tunnel, when coming from the east, is a great pull out where the water has craved great grooves into the sandstone. The combo of the red tree and the lines caught my attention. Miss being there...lots!

I spent the evening setting up my apps on my new iPad2. Yes I have been working on the first generation iPad all this time. I just synced it and all seems to be organized as I set it up in iTunes. Now I need to decide if I am going to update my MacBook Pro to Lion so I can start to use the iCloud. Along with that I would need to learn Pages if I want my docs to sync with iCloud. Seems there has been so many changes lately that I have been spending much of my time on updating the devices and learning about all the changes, and not enough time being creative. However I have got a few ideas I have been working on and will share with the students in the Whidbey Workshop next week...I can't wait!

Desert Hearts - Intro to Pixel Blend

Something I truly believe and remind myself often is - "A lot can happen in a year!" Last year at this time I was on the east coast by myself traveling in a rental car along the Blue Ridge Parkway. After following the BRP from VA to TN I spent a few days in the Smokey Mountains. It was suppose to be in full autumn splendor but instead the frost had quickly turned the leaves brown. So Instead of capturing the reds, oranges and yellows of Autumn I headed to the coast. My goal was to see the snow geese and walk along the beach.

If you have never seen snow geese take off, fly and land in a flock of 1000 or so, I highly recommend you put it on your list. The sight and sound of it is incredible.

One of the last things I did before leaving the Delaware beaches is to draw a heart in the sand and capture it with the Hipstamatic camera app. Shortly thereafter I processed the image and printed it on canvas as it was one of my favorites.

A year later I am walking along a dry river bed in Utah and found a bright red rock that crumbed in my hand. The crumbs were soft and clay like. I thought of how the Native Americans may have used it as dye or something to draw with. So I drew a heart of red on a sand colored rock and captured it with the Hipstamatic.

Today thinking of my favorite saying, "All you need is Love" I created this image.

I am very fortunate to have so much love in my life and I wanted to express that appreciation!

The Wave of Color

I never quite know what makes me stop and take a walk  when driving along the road. On this particular stop I started to follow the dry river bed and found these incredible patterns and colors in the sandstone. I was fascinated and started capturing photos at different angles. This was one of my favorites.
