Photo App Recipes

I’ve written before about my obsession with the photo apps on my iphone.  And now Dave, over at Clearer Reflections, is hosting an online project for those who have this addiction.  It is called Dave's Apps Recipe Book.  It’s a chance for phone photo editors to share their work and the “recipe” they used to get there.  Here are mine…

Having just returned from NYC, I’ve been playing around with those photos anyways. 

I enjoyed shooting the carousel in Central Park.  This is the original.

In Brooklyn, we passed by this amazing wall on the way to the Brooklyn Art Library.

Wow!  Now a good excuse to spend a couple of hours on a Sunday morning screwing around with photo apps.  Woot!  Woot!

  3. I wish I had an iphone solely for the camera apps! Alas, the forced monthly plan that comes with it is too much to bear...
    Your photos look really awesome!
    Peace,

  4. @Dave - Yes! 100 Cameras is great...I haven't paid for the additional filters, but it's tempting.

    @Becky - Ya, right!

    Seth - Thanks!
