I have other posts that I have been trying to add here, but they have to be completed at the desktop. Instead, I am taking the easy way out and getting it all done from the iPad. I have worked on some photos that had been synced from the desktop; but, with the end of flowers in sight, I succumbed once again to the temptation to use the iPad as a camera. (Ove, no one was watching—made sure I was home alone.)
We have a hard freeze, as well as some rain, coming starting Thursday night. Perhaps that's why flowers are on my mind. It appears that The Husband's pots have one more day to enjoy the beautiful balmy fall weather we have been enjoying before the axe of winter falls. Of course this photo was done indoors and these are dried flowers. What can I say?

See how easy it is to succumb to the 'camera at hand'? I had no idea that I would use my iPhone so much and neither did I have an idea that the quality would be so good. :)
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your new 'camera', Anita. I look forward to more discoveries.
Paul—We will see if I succumb to the tortures of using the iPad as a camera after the connector kit arrives. I suppose anything is possible at this point. The tablet is incredibly awkward and I haven't taken a sharp picture with it yet. Still, necessity, invention, and all that, I suppose. Let's face it, this is mostly about impatience. Just can't wait for a few more days to get the kit.
ReplyDeleteThanks for dropping in. Your experience with the iPhone camera certainly has influenced me to be willing to try "the camera at hand". I would love to be as effective with the tablet as you are with your handy-dandy camera.
I must say I'm impressed with this photo, Anita. Maybe the iPad is awkward to use but in the hands of someone who knows how to use it, it can be a creative tool, like Paul's iPhone. Photography is more about the photographers (and the subjects) than the cameras. And dried flowers make great subjects.
ReplyDeleteIn this regard I am "lucky" in that my iPad is one of the first models with no camera built in -- I do not have a choice to make. I struggle trying to imagine myself using an iPad as a camera but then under the right circumstances I probably would. Still the iPad can be a good tool for handling photos and blog posts.
ReplyDeleteVery nice.
If you don't tell people, no one will know what you shot it with :)
ReplyDeleteKen—Thanks for these encouraging words. This way of working has opened a new door for me and I am much happier with my stinky situation. Now that I am making pictures again, life looks much brighter.
ReplyDeleteI am afraid that dried flowers are ideal for me. I am frequently guilty of getting distracted by a project and forgetting to feed and freshen water for the live ones.
Earl—Thank you for your thoughts on this. I would really be chomping at the bit if I had no camera on my iPad. On the other hand, I would be going to the extra trouble to get sharp photos off my desktop. Maybe a good idea, now that I think of it. I just find the tablet extremely awkward to hold steady. I am delighted that you like this one. Thanks to these apps, I believe the iPad allows for amazing photo processing considering the size and weight of the device.
ReplyDeleteJP—I am officially done with announcing how I took each photo. I suppose it is the kid with a new toy business. Up until now, I haven't quite been able to believe I am using this thing. Thanks for giving me a push to get over that.
ReplyDeleteTerrific work. I'm with JP - if you didn't tell them no one would know. And besides, what difference does it make how it was made. The important part is that you created it!
ReplyDeleteRoberta—Wow, thanks for that. Almost by the hour, I am gaining enthusiasm for this way of working—not as a permanent substitute for my DSLR's and oh-how-I love-it Photoshop, but as an extension of possibilities. The process of seeing something and feeding the desire to share my feelings about it is what all the work is about. This is just a new process for fulfilling that desire. Perhaps this is the window that I was looking for.
