Day 61 of 365 Day Challenge

I thought I would try a surreal type image for today. I have to say it took me a long time to cut out the pieces and put it all together but it was a good learning experience. Not sure it's my thing or maybe I need to find the right subject matter and as I have just started an iphone library of photos it takes time to build it to get the images that you need.

Apps: Snapseed, Megabox, Sketchclub, Photoshop Touch, iColorama, Matter

Day 58 of 365 Day Challenge

Went out for supper at our closest mall and had to try and find a picture so I decided to take pictures of the shop windows and see what I could do with it. So here is the result as well as the original pictures:

Apps: Snapseed to straighten, crop and tune-up, Photoshop Touch to cut out the model and create a mask, Diana to blend the two pictures, Stackables to add some texture, iColorama for further texturing with my own textures and to blend more, Repix to add effects and posterise, Facetune to smooth out the face and enhance some tones and Retouch to remove a line. Phew I think that was all of them.

Day 56 of 365 Day Challenge

I didn't feel like taking photos today. In fact, I didn't even feel like going out but I had a hair appointment. The only thing that gave me some excitement was the fact that Olloclip has come out with a telephoto lens for the iphone 6 and I was hoping to pop into the Apple Store first and see if they had it. So I went out a good two hours before my appointment to see if I could get one. Well, they didn't have one and when I phoned my usual Olloclip supplier they didn't have one either so now I'm really grumpy.

I decide to go to Soho so that I can get my daily photo out of the way and this is an easy option. So I go to a quirky hat shop which I know will make my life simple and next minute I'm engrossed in taking photos and thoroughly enjoying myself. I peer down a little lane off Hollywood Road in an area I thought I knew well and see this interesting little general courtyard. I go down the steps and oh my, it's a treasure  trove. I NOW have my daily shot. There's a lovely little French restaurant there too and I treat myself to a dessert and tea. In the meantime I am inspired to create and take some of my old pictures and make a collage. After this I explored more and going passed the doorway to a building I hear a wonderful tune coming from the doorman who is playing a harmonica. I stand for a moment and tap my feet in tune. Ah yes it's been a good day!

My daily picture - Yes, there is hope!

Here is the collage I did at the French cafe:
