Friday Favorites No. 22

So many venues so little time…Instagram, Blogger, Wordpress, Tumbler, EyeEm, Flickr, Pinterest, Twitter, Facebook – and that’s just a few of the places we can share our images and our ideas.  I’m finding I can’t be everywhere and do a good job of it, so I’m cutting back a bit of my online presence in order to focus on a few.  EyeEm is my preferred place for posting images and viewing those of other artists.  My blog is still my “baby” and hope there will always be time for that.
If anyone has any tips on how to handle this juggling act, I would love to know!
Here are my favorite edits from this past week along with their App Recipes.

Friday Favorites No. 19

My favorite edits from this week.

I loved that my grandniece, Davis, was totally unaware of my iPhone camera.  She was going about the business of exploring my Mom’s assisted living main room and sat herself in front of the fireplace.

The owner of the dog spotted me taking this picture and he was all smiles – a proud “papa” I guess!

and finally I thought you might like to see a “before” picture as well as the final edit.

Here’s a photo I snapped of a young man sitting next to us at a local restaurant.

As  you can see the photo is blurry and isn’t of much interest, but I liked the hood and the way he was staring off into the distance so after some editing with Snapseed, PS Express, TouchRetouch (to remove his hand from his head) and Noir Photo to create the mood lighting I ended up with the edited image below.

Hope you had a great week!

Friday Favorites (A Day Late!) No. 17

This week I’m going to only include one image for my Friday Favorites.  This piece was created for the feature that Instagram’s @mobileartistry ran today.  I thought you may enjoy a more in-depth App Recipe on one image.

Portrait of a Man

App Recipe:  For this image I first cropped it square in Snapseed and then bumped up the detail and tuned it a bit.

Next I used PhotoViva on just the background to get rid of details I didn't like and blended it with the Snapseed version using Sketch Club.

I took the Snapseed edit and did two different versions using Glaze. I combined the two Glaze images with the Snapseed/PhotoViva image blending and erasing sections of the three layers and saved to my camera roll.

The final step was some minor adjustments in Snapseed of the combined image (details bump and white balance).

Thanks to Lanie for the feature (@momma2maxh on Instagram)

I experimented with a few new apps this week including AfterGlow.  I also discovered that I love the filters in the Big Lens app even when I’m not using it to blur an image!

Friday Favorites No. 13

Here are the favorite edits I created this week with one collaboration with @blacksmithpat (who will be featured in an upcoming post).
First I’ll share the collaboration because I’m absolutely in love with the portrait he took of his daughter.  The only thing I did was crop and edit it in a gritty way.
