Follow the star

The decorations will be coming down soon, but this local house with it's simple light show worked well.
Imported into Instagram & given the lomo-fi treatment.

Baubles

These Christmassy decorations are hanging from a chandelier and the image was treated with a couple of filters from an app called Pixlromatic. Awkward name for a app, but it has a pretty impressive set of options - and it was free.
Merry Christmas - keep shooting images with that iPhone.

Beachy

Early morning light has been taken to extremes with a bit of filter overload. I imported this shot into Foto fx app and applied about 4 layers of haze/tone/focus, etc. errr.... just because I could.

Monsters in the garden

I don't know where this huge dragonfly came from, but I'm sure it was a long way from home - I don't think I've even seen a normal sized dragonfly in Miramar. The thing was quite awe inspiring and could have been a piece of garden sculpture.
This shot was cropped, treated and framed in Camera+.

Overseeing the bay

This South American totem sits beside Lyall Bay and gives a fairly exotic look to this slice of Wellington.
I treated this shot with a few different filters & effects courtesy of the app Snapseed (a very comprehensive editing tool, as recommended by www.robertcatto.com).

Salads of Summer

There's just something about all those colours and textures glistening in the sun that always seems to have me reaching for a camera just before grabbing a fork.
