Just a Shadow of Myself

I found this guy on my walk today and brought him home

to do a little digital magic on him. I was both creeped

out and fascinated with him and found myself waiting for

him to strike out as I shot a series of photos. 

I used Snapseed, iColorama, and Mextures to get 

this effect. Here's the original shot:

I carried this guy all around the yard shooting in 

different places. This shot was on the concrete

in front of my steps. When I started shooting I

noticed the shadow which I thought was wonderful.

After loading the photo on my laptop the one I wanted

to use was blurred….I have such a hard time taking

pictures with glasses on but don't manage well without

them for close up. Carried the little guy back out to

try for a clear shot and the clouds had rolled in so

I lost the shadow. I had to wait for about a hour before

the sun reappeared to get this shot.

Ssssssssssss!

This one was done with ShockMyPic:

Rainy Morning Walk….

Here are a couple of pics I took this morning on a 

walk around my yard. 

Yes….I HAD to snazzy them up with a couple of apps.

I've become quite obsessed with apps….BIG bang for

little bucks!

Here's the raw shot of the succulent:

I used Oggl (Hipstamatic) to get the effect above.

I have Hipstamatic on my iPhone…it lets you shoot

using a combination of lens and old film types but

I like shooting raw and opening the image in Oggl 

to see which combos I like best.

And the chives:

I opened this image in Snapseed and converted it to

HDR then saved and opened in my new favorite…

Tinned Cam and added the light effect and color

change. Easy peasy!

A little snazzing up makes all the difference!
