Olympus OM-D and iPad

As mentioned in this blog before my friend Dan Burkholder turned me on to the Olympus micro 4/3 mirror-less camera a few weeks back. I ordered it immediately from Amazon and have not put it down since receiving the UPS package. One of the selling points for me was the wireless transfer of images direct from the camera to my iPad for processing(using an eye-fi card).

Today's image from the Last Pixel Show Workshop in The Palouse was made using the O;Olympus )M-D and processed on my iPad. THe apps used were FXPhotoStudio, Snapseed, Dramatic Black and White and Filterstorm. I also added the clouds to a blank sky using Photo Wizard.NIK Color EFX4 was used to make a few global adjustments before posting.

Lone Tree, The Palouse

The Last Pixel Show Workshop in The Palouse ended on Sunday. Met some new friends and re-visited with some old friends. There were participants from all parts of the country and everyone brought something new to the table - seems like there is always new to learn about iPhone/iPad digital art.

We made images of o0ld cars, tractors, trucks, combines, wheat, lentils, and, of course, Lone Tree's....Seems like everyone has a special Lone Tree.......

On that note I processed my own version of The Lone Tree above...Used 645Pro, Snapseed, blender and foolproof.....Foolproof is a low res app but neat look for blending back into an original..

Koi Pond, iPhone4s

The Last Pixel Show workshop finished last night - and what a week it was - great light - great participants - and, of course lots of iPhone chatter. Thanks to everyoje who drove and flew a long way to be part of this workshop. Someone once told me ;if you want to learn something - teach it', and that is very true.
 
Today's image was made using a new camerta application 645 Pto (look for more info in the next few days) and processed using Blender, Filterstorm, Moka Hanga, and another new application, Foolproof.

Foolproof i a fun (low res) painting application and feels more like finger painting then brushing. Make a really good layer to use for blending and so far I am liking this one.

Look for more on both of these applications in the next few days as today is a travel day. Going through the Columbia Gorge with my friend and co-workshop organizer,m Teri Lou Dantzler. 
 

The Palouse - Day 1

Wheat Harvest, Palouse

Everyone  arrived tin Colfax today for our Last Pixel Show iPhone Workshop.We all met at 6PM and went out for a quick dinner before getting together in the conference room so Teri Lou and I could review a few cameras as we are going out for sunrise tomorrow. Great group, mostly from the west coast but there is one from Texas and another from Montana, 11 women and two men.

Tomorrow the call is at 530AM so cutting this note short tonight.

The farmers in this area are in the middle of harvest - therefore I am sharing an image that this New Yorker does not see everyday.....i used my Olympus OM-D and an eye-fi card. The eye-fi card facilitated the images being tirelessly transferred to my iPad for processing.
