Inside the Cereal Box
Hello from Connecticut and a house with children and dachshunds! I am working with a small notebook and cameraphone while Peter and I care for our grandchildren. Limited opportunities for photography and a (very!) small arsenal of tools are providing an interesting challenge for creativity! The subject of the above photo is a prize from a cereal box and considered a real treasure by my young grandson. I photographed the little toy to surprise him with my cameraphone and processed the picture on my phone, tilting and swirling the image to give it a sense of motion before uploading to Flickr. The fruit bowl on the breakfast table provided the rich blue background.

ReplyDeletemy goodness!!!!!! you made a fantastic work of art here!!!!!
ReplyDeleteYou shame me! After a career in PR/fundraising where I often had to do my own photography...I have yet to enter the Digital Epoch. I know, I know, I know. Agree you made art out of not much at all...which always steals my heart. Hope Cooper is holding is own, and the tucking up is working out.
ReplyDeleteRain ~ Many thanks for your kind comment! There are so many wonderful and fun apps for cameraphones so photos can be edited on the spot. Great for traveling!
ReplyDeleteLinda ~ Thank you so much!
home before dark ~ I have two sleepy dachshunds curled up beside me. They will miss each other when it's time to go home. Cooper is a remarkably resilient little guy. I'm not sure the tuck-up has been as successful, he's either heavier, or we are tireder!
As for the digital age; I am barely holding my head above water, new goodies keep coming at me like a tidal wave!
What is the ap you took that with? Can you use it on an iPhone? Its movement is fantastic! Have fun in CT. I have a feeling you are not far from where I spent my youth, a million years ago....;o)
ReplyDeleteHello Mike! I have been in Trumbull for nearly three weeks and am really missing Maine!
ReplyDeleteI am editing with Picsay for Android...surely there must be an equivalent for iphone. Very handy while traveling with just a cameraphone and small pcnotebook. I actually had the free version first, but liked it so much I decided to buy the app.
