27 May 2012 – ShockMyPic Herb Robert

The original shot wasn’t very sharp, but editing it 3 times in the ShockMyPic app has turned a so so photo into this riot of green foliage. The little pink flower is very special to me, as it’s called Herb Robert (Geraniun Robertianum) and is the very first wild flower name that I learnt as [...]

26 May 2012 – Damp Dandelion Blues

I took Jade’s damp dandelion for a trial run through Grungetastic and this is the result. I’m not a blue sort of girl but this really speaks to me. The streaks even look like rain don’t they. I stand bowed with raindrops Bedraggled and forlorn. I smile as the sun fills the sky My life is [...]

23 May 2012 – Ultra FX Flowers

What a difference a day and an app makes. I was playing with the same image of the flowers in yesterdays post and I edited it on my i pad in the Photo fx Ultra app and produced this gorgeous image. I can feel a painting coming on, can’t you?

22 May 2012 – SketchMee Meets Tiny Planets

I used the Alstroemeria and Freesia shot from a previous post and ran it through the SketchMee app and then for a whirl in the Tiny Planets app, and I created this lovely image which looks to me like an extra special rose. I just love the mix of colours and textures.

21 May 2012 – ShockMyPic Hollyhock

I was playing around with my hollyhock painting again and after altering the colours in 100 Cameras I edited it in ShockMyPic twice and this is the result. I love the center of the seed head and the textured background. Hope you do too, let me know.

On Friday, Jade and I went for a rather damp walk in the woods, just up the coast at Holywell Dene. We took lots of photos with my i phone of the wild flowers and mossy trees. Jade took this shot of a rather damp dandelion and I edited it in Mobile Monet on the [...]

16 May 2012 – Red Filtered Bedroom Wall

This shot taken with a red filter shows the Pebeo Copper Studio Acrylic paint which I used as a wash on our bedroom wall. Here, it was illuminated by the afternoon sun and the silk flowers are a stunning contrast to the metallic quality of the wall.  I love the shadows which are created by [...]

13 May 2012 – The Dandelion

Didn’t this turn out a treat? I am thrilled with the result. I processed the shot 3 times in ShockMyPic and love the way it’s gossamer quality has been enhanced by the app. I wrote this verse to accompany the image. The Dandelion sways gently Patiently awaiting the childs excited breath & Counted launch of [...]

12 May 2012 – A Sea Of Sulphur Petals

Whilst driving the other day I saw lots of fields of oil seed rape. I edited this shot with 100 Cameras to get the contrast I wanted between the sky and the yellow field. I wrote this little piece of poetry to go with it. Before a leaden sky I glimpsed a sea of sulphur [...]

It has been very wet and rainy here lately, but the sun shone for a while today and Gordon and I took Maddie for a walk  around the village via the seafront. Whilst walking back I was looking for things to photograph and these beautiful bluebells in someones garden caught my eye. I leaned precariously [...]

I have been playing with the doodle I drew on my i pad at the weekend and after a whizz through the Percolator App and an edit in Abstract Me I took it for a spin through 100 Cameras and this is the result. It looks like a country garden to me. You might have [...]

I had lots of fun editing these flowers in the SketchMee app. I love the fact that you can control the thickness of line, the type of drawing medium and the colour palette. It turns any photo into a work of art.

5 May 2012 – Flower Head Etching

This is an etching I made more years ago than I care to remember! It was a fantasy flower influenced by studying biology combined with my fascination with fine line drawing. I do remember that making an etching plate in the shape of a flower took me endless hours of eating the plate away with [...]
