Ireland Stream, Mac Processed

As most of you know I am non-traditional when it comes to processing my images solely on the iPhone or iPad. There are so many ways to get to the end result why limit yourseslf.

Lately I have been using several iPhone/iPad application on my Mac - both desktop and laptop. The ones used the most are Photo Studio, Sketchmee, Grungetastic and Artista Haiku. Being of the older generation this also helps keep my eyes from getting tired and losing concentration.

In addition to the application mentioned above there is also Color EFX4, Silver FX Pro2 and whatever other third party software you currently are using. Add this to some elegant sharpening techniques and you wil find your creativity expanding. Not to mention when printing I find it best to sharpen and make various local  adjustments on the big screen.

Today's images are from a trip to Ireland last year.

Two Irish Friends

Childhood friends - Ireland

I was sitting in the car at Tuliag Bay, County Donegal waiting for sunset thinking it might be a good one...Out of the corner of my eye I notice a car pull up and two women get out.....Not paying attention I am startled by a tap on the window....of course it is the two women asking if I would take a photo of them with the bay in the background.....of course I say yes with one caveat - i can take their photo also...we agree - i take photos with both of their cameras and then get to shoot a few hipstamatic images with my iPhone...

Long story short they were childhood friends and used to swim in that very bay..currently they are 67 and 71.....back for another childhood memory...and me, I am happy to have been part of it.......

PS: the sunset never happened but the portrait did.....the universe responded....

Belfast, Ireland

Old Mill, Annalong, Northern, Ireland

Finally made it Northern Ireland. Landed in Dublin early this morning, rented a car and headed north for Belfast. About 60 miles outside of Belfast got off the M1 and headed out to the Irish sea for a bit of exploring the coastal regions. Does not get much better then a fresh coffee and croissant to get the juices flowing -  always nice to be back on the road exploring new places...

Today's image is from Annalong, a coastal village in County Down at the foot of the Moume Mountains. Annalong is mostly a fishing village and vacation resort town. According to Wikipedia Annalong was first settled somewhere around January 1843.

Mostly the weather was alternately rain and then sun every 20 minutes or so - sometimes rather heavy...Managed to make a few images between the drops....Ireland is such an amazing place to visit not to mention visit with a few cameras - one of course being an iPhone...Anyway a good first day - 9 more to go.....
