Digital Journal - Mixed Media Mayhem -IPhonography

On my recent trip to Spain and Portugal, I did not take my usual assortment of cameras, lenses, image cards, and accessories.  Instead, I relied on my new IPhone 6s and apps for photo editing.  For example, I took a classic photo of the riverfront in Porto...a photo that everyone who visits this city has probably made.  I experimented with a number of apps including Distressed FX, PS Express, and Photo Lab to get my own interpretation. I like the way the apps brought out the blues in the small boat in the foreground and gave the bridge a luminosity.  Additionally with the application of the apps, the lines of the boat's rigging are more visible.  The overall effect I hoped for was to put the photo in a historical context.

  1. Looks fab, Linda! I'm planning to start a visual journal with my altered photography as well! Just haven't had the time to get around to it yet. So much inspiration, so little time!

    1. i've been thinking that I will make the pages then send them to BookSmart to print them in a bound copy to avoid having to print and collate and organize. It will be a fun thing to look at or give to Grands....
