I was up late last night, playing with my iPad 2 when I really should be sleeping. But creativity knows no clock and I browsed around the App store looking for interesting photo editing apps. Somehow I stumbled across the Percolator app that transforms your image into mosaics. […]
So a photo is due for yesterday and admittedly, the one I quickly took was…bleech ! It was one of those times that the idea is sound, but the image doesn’t come out with what the eye sees. But today’s adventure more than made up for with amazing […]

It was a beautiful spring day today, with the sky blue and the water cool. Mother Goose and Father Goose are fiercely protecting their nest, and Mama Wren is still patiently awaiting her babies. A few stolen moments to sit on the dock to enjoy the light breeze […]
One of the modules with the Nik Collection is HDR Efex Pro. Hearing good things about this module and how it can alter even just one image, I decided to finally give it a try. I ran into problems almost immediately as this module is treated and acts […]
