They can't be won at carnivals for free
Well it took me years
To get these souvenirs
And I don;t know how they slipped away from me'.....John Prine

Technique

Church of Ireland -New Technique - iPhone4

Technique: The way in which the fundamentals, as of an artistic work, are handled.

As you learn new image management techniques, go back into the archives and re-process older images. While I do this on a regular basis (both big boy camera and iPhone images) the re-processing of older images is worth the time and effort, not to mention a worthwhile learning experience. Even the most subtle change, as in the image posted today, can be significant. . I would advise giving this exercise some time in your daily work-flow - even if just one image a week...

The image today was simply given a new sharpening and contrast technique I picked up over the past few weeks...subtle as mentioned but works for me....

 Did I mention that an iPhone or iPad is the perfect tool  - Filterstorm works well for this type of exercise.

Marina Morning

Marina Morning, iPhone4

Sometimes simplicity is all that is necessary. I read somewhere the if it ain't grungy it is not happening...I totally disagree...so many ways to tell a story and pass on the sense of place when you clicked the shutter - or in this case tapped the screen - so many tools at our beck and call - not necessarily to be used on every image....enough said..
