Have you tried Snapseed?

Very interesting processing software for iPhone and iPad2 (Snapseed) from NIK Software. I recently installed Snapseed on my iPad. 

Yesterday I did a quick processing on an image I took several years ago. I like the results, but my husband likes the original better! You be the judge.

Paradise

This was an unscheduled trip out to Oahu. My dear friend, Elaine, died very unexpectedly of a massive heart attack. Did she have a premonition of her death when she said to me last summer, "You know, we might not see each other again. I'm getting older." OK, she was 74, but her parents lived into their 90s. So Knapp and I went out to Honolulu for her memorial service, which was well attended by her family and friends.

We stayed longer of course to enjoy Oahu and took some pictures. Not only am I using my "real" camera, but I now have a smart phone which I have enjoyed using for quick shots.

Time for a Comeback!

It's been 2 years since I've blogged. It's not that nothing was happening; it's that I found the process tedious. Since my last attempt at blogging, I have joined Facebook (which is like a giant, random blog), gotten a smart phone which makes posting photos to Facebook a breeze, and discovered the pleasures of uploading photos "on the go" and annoying my husband some in the process! So can I find a way to make blogging more like Facebook? Stay tuned...
