Just a bit of fun ......

Bought myself a new toy a few days ago.  Succumbed to the ipad craving that I've had for some time.  Just love it! Have to say tho that it is a bit of a learning curve - not the basic controls but the things I want to use with photography.

Haven't actually used the camera yet, just sorting out how various aps work with some images.  Really love Snapseed and can see why it has such high ratings.

I've imported a few recent images that I had on a CF card.  Just rainy day garden ones from this week.  Chose the closest card to the desktop.  Had already downloaded these to my imac and done some fiddling in Lightroom.  Problem with ipad is the CF card isn't compatible but the cord from my 5Dmk11 to the photo adaptor works a treat.

Snapseed is as easy as, so no problems there.  The issue for me is retrieving the images I've played with on the ipad so I can upload to this site or maybe pbase.  Difficult!!!  But there is always a way.

Have just been emailing them to myself and accessing them but they can also come via mobile me.  Why won't the 2 x iphoto programs sync???  Maybe tomorrow they will.

The other fun thing I've been doing and trying to convince myself it's actual work is re editing some 2010 Turkey images.  I'm getting closer to being satisfied with a set of mono images for the book I'm doing but the last few days I'm a bit over serious mono work, so I had some fun with a bit of colour.  Weird and crazy however, I like them.  They won't make the publication tho, so need to be admired and enjoyed here.

Below is a mix - some Turkey revisions with a bit of craziness and any iphoto/snapseed/ipad ones that I have managed to get to the web.  I think Apple knows exactly what it is doing!!!  They move seamlessly to my mobile me gallery??  Funny about that!






Rolling Hills of Eastern Turkey (above) somewhere near Mt Ararat looks better to my eyes with some decent makeup.  The tiny dots on the yellow below the hillside are farm animals.















I think this one (below) is my favourite from the ipad edits using Snapseed.


















Another quick snapshot (below) from the garden in last week's rain and edited in an ipad ap.

  1. Beautiful images Shirley as always. I love the light in the first one, and the lovely Japanese feel to the last few. Less controls on snap seed definitely pushes the creative boundaries.
