Meditative




Paper Goods Pond with the lowering sun casting long shadows on the grass. This was taken with the iPhone. I tuned it up with PhotoForge, then applied it's Dreamy filter. I used Touchup to selectively lighten and darken certain areas.

PhotoForge is my favorite photoediting app for the iPhone. It's remarkably powerful: it has curves, levels, unsharp mask, hue/saturation, exposure, brightness/contrast, among other things, as well as multiple levels of undo.

  5. Amazing what you can do with that little gadget. Nice filter. It looks like you were visiting the same pond I was...only 900 miles farther east... (can't post a link...but check out my 1/14 post)
