PHOTOGRAPHY: Experimenting with Apps

I was browsing through apps for iPhones and iPads and came across some photo editing apps that looked interesting. I decided to share some of the images I have created over the past couple of days. The vintage apps crack me up ... Many people pay top dollar to have old, torn, discolored photos restored. In a few touches of the screen you can take a photo, edit it and you'd swear the outcome was at least a century old.
I shot these photos in Switzerland in April 2011 while we were visiting Conrad's mother. 


















I shot these photos during a scuba diving trip aboard the Rocio Del Mar in the Sea of Cortez. Obviously, not all are edited to look vintage, but some are altered to add color, textures, etc.








Underwater critters, but not seen while diving in the Sea of Cortez ...

 


... And then there are the fun with flowers and textures selections ... 
Here's an original and an edited version of the same tulips. Huge difference, huh!?

I will be in Tennessee for a couple of weeks, so perhaps I can capture some interesting shots while I'm there!

TRAVEL: Switzerland!

Conrad and I just returned from a fabulous trip to Switzerland. We were there from April 4 - 11, 2012.  mother lives there and celebrated her 90th birthday, so we booked flights and away we went! I am going to quickly weed through my photos and post them, so please bare with me. We ate traditional Swiss foods the entire time we were there, so don't be surprised if you see a few non-Paleo items. I have decided it's okay to vary my diet as long as I'm reasonable about it. Paleo is my lifestyle, but it IS okay to splurge once in a while. I have decided that I am going to add a category to my blog in honor of Conrad's heritage. Since he's at least 27 generation Swiss, it's the least I can do. =)


So ... Let me get to work digging through these 1600+ photos and I'll post them soon!
