Glow-the original




This is the original...I'm beginning to think I like it better. What do you think?

Glow




The evening sky glows behind a house in our neighborhood. I applied PhotoForge's Dreamy filter to this iPhone photo, but the effect was to strong; so I opened both in an app called Montage, where I was able to reduce the transparency of the filtered image.

Blooms

Our magnolia blooms against a blue spring sky. Taken with the Hipstamatic iPhone app, the photo was tuned up a bit further in PhotoForge.

Emotions




Children can't hide their emotions. My younger grandson, Craig, shows pure delight at having found an Easter egg. Snapped with the iPhone, the picture was processed in IronCamera.

Dappled




Today we discovered Burr Pond State Park. We kayaked on the lake before hiking part way around it. Along the way, crisp cold streams found their way dawn to the lake through dappled stands of evergreens. I made only a few basic adjustments to this iPhone photo using PhotoForge.

Neglected

This old factory building has long been neglected. I took the picture with the iPhone's Hipstamatic app, then did some adjusting in PhotoForge.

Faucets

The faucets of the heavens have been unleashed here in southern New England. Although the sun came out today, the Connecticut River was past flood stage and still rising. I like this picture, taken with the Hipstamatic iPhone app, because the surreal aspect of the streetlamp out there in the river reminds me of the lamppost in "The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe."
