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.

Vintage Car

A few weeks ago leaving Toledo I came across several vintage cars simply parked on the side of the road. The vehicles took on a extremely mysterious look in the dew filled misty-rainy morning....So of course I stopped and made a few iPhone4 exposures using ProHDR on a tripod....

This one was processed using Photo Toaster and Blur Fx, two new applications for me. Photo toaster retains resolution while Blur Fx is a res killer. In order to retain some degree of resolution I combined the blurred image with the Photo Toaster image in Iris and was able to maintain 3.3 MP of the original 5 MP. I do, however, realizze there are other ways to get this effect but wanted to play a bit with Blur Fx....

Never noticed a preferences page in Blur - anyone know if high resolution is even possible in this application.

Photo toaster is  a fun applications - even has frames...will be added to the list of applications for the Whidbey Island workshop...
