The party's over...

After a fun-filled week in Golden Bay, South Island, the family and I returned to Wellington on the evening ferry.
This shot, as we were about to leave Marlborough Sounds was treated with a 'spot' filter in the app RetroGram.

Get the message!

The Mussel Inn near Takaka does a good chowder, but if you yak on your phone it may get nailed to the post.
This shot was very pink from the sunlight coming through a red sunshade do I converted it to black & white using Photo fx.

Make my day

Cruising around the remote upper South Island we had a moment of excitement when spotting this classy caravan of caffeine consumption.
It's been parked up at various events and locations around Wellington for a few years so it was a complete surprise to see it at Collingwood... but wonderful to get a sublime coffee fix (of Sublime Coffee).

Photo safari

Using the app Frametastic I grabbed a few images from my photo-wandering today.
Although the iPhone screen tends to pick up unwanted reflections in the sun, as long as the brightness is up high enough the screen makes a surprisingly good viewfinder for general photography.

Photo with flare

I thought this hanging shell ornament in the setting sun was bound to make an interesting image.
This hasn't been edited at all, the iPhone 4 has a tendency to flare quite strongly with a light source in the frame but this time the flare has taken on a flower-like pattern.

Day trippin'

Dropped off the scooter for a service in town so hopped on the bus home.
Kinda liked the colours and composition of this, so no editing at all.

Acting cool

"Go ahead.... make my day" - this guy was taunting the poor mouse - pretending to take no notice, but pouncing as soon as it moved away.
Cropped and graduated with PhotoForge2.

Summer in the city

Trying out yet another app on the iPhone - 'Frametastic'.
There are a few options of layout, frame colour, shape & background, plus it allows you to organise a printed card to be posted (very old-school).

On the red carpet...

The local 'Christmas Trees' are shedding their decorative crimson flowers and colouring much of the landscape beneath.
I ran this image through one of my old stand-by editing apps - The Best Camera.

Boo!

Ah, holiday spirit on the streets of Wellington.
This image didn't really need any treatment, but I imported it into Snapseed and tweaked it with a couple of filters and a border.... just cos'.

The party's just begun...

So we've had Christmas and we've had New Year's Eve - time to crack into a brand new calendar/diary/notebook and take down the decorations. Exciting.
This shot was cropped and given a bit of 'fill flash' with the Camera + app.
