Number Ninety-Two: Sky Blue Pink

Today's photo was also taken on our recent trip up to Ottawa. The sun was setting dramatically on the driver's side of the car but on the passenger side the sky was this gentle pinkish-blue and I loved it. I took some shots with Gorillacam then straightened and cropped the photo I liked best in Snapseed to get rid of the side of the road. I really wanted to showcase the gorgeous colours of the sky while leaving a bit of reference at the bottom.

My grandpa always called this kind of sky 'sky blue pink'. Pretty perfect name for it!

Number Ninety-One: The Return Of Door Number Ten And A Half

I decided to post the original picture of the doors from yesterday's entry. I'd considered doing so in the first place but went with the heavily edited one instead. Since then a couple of people have asked me about the doors and what they really look like so here they are! All I did was crop and add a Drama filter in Snapseed to bring out some of the detail.

Door 12 is actually the entrance to a little restaurant and I'm not sure what door 10 1/2 led to. I loved the colours and the weathered paint, plus the mysterious arrow-shaped metal things nailed to door 12.

Number Ninety: Door Number Ten And A Half

Today's picture was taken on our drive home from Ottawa after the fondue party and overnight stay. We had to stop in Smiths Falls and when we parked in front of these interesting doors I couldn't resist snapping a few shots with Gorillacam.

Shadow of Shadow A Day posted a link to an app I hadn't yet discovered. I was thrilled to find that it's exactly the kind of photo editing app I've been looking for and downloaded the full version immediately. It's called PhotoWizard and has a ton of effects and editing capabilities all packaged into an attractive, easy-to-use app that is worth far more than the small amount they charge for it. I used the Pop Art effect on these doors to make them even more interesting, and was happy that this particular filter retained the red and green paint.

Number Eighty-Nine: Closer Than I Appear

Today's picture was taken today on a snowy drive to Ottawa to visit family for a fondue feast. I was taking lots of shots from the car just to see if I got anything interesting and this one turned out pretty well. I'm really not all about the self portraits, I swear!

I took this one with Gorillacam and used Snapseed's Drama filter on it afterward.

Number Eighty-Eight: Probably Talking About World Peace

Today's picture was also taken at my sister's place on Christmas day. This is my daughter, the youngest of the cousins, and my sister's oldest son, the eldest of the cousins, sharing a moment at the kitchen island.

I took this shot using Gorillacam and imported it into Snapseed so I could use the Drama filter on it. I love how they look like they're deep in discussion!

Number Eighty-Seven: A Shadow For Shadow

Today's piece is in honour of my fellow 365-er, Shadow of Shadow A Day. Shadow's project is about capturing shadows every day and her collection is already fascinating! It's such a unique way to look at the world and I'm always excited to see what she comes up with every day.

I took this photo yesterday at Christmas dinner at my sister's place in Quebec. This is my beautiful niece's shadow against the wall under a neat painting of two olives on a toothpick. I used the iPhone camera to take the photo and then imported it to Snapseed where I used a Drama filter to brighen it up.

Number Eighty-Six: Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas from Art On My iPhone! I hope you've enjoyed the project so far and I hope that you're having a wonderful holiday season, whatever you celebrate!

I started today's piece with the iPhone camera, trying to get a few shots of the ornaments on my mother's Christmas tree. I realized after that all of the reflective ones had me showcased, though, so decided to go with it and do a bit of a Christmas self-portrait doing what I love; using my iPhone to capture nice things. I cropped the photo in Snapseed then imported it to Artist's Touch where I used the fingerpaint brush on it, decreasing the size of the brush gradually as I worked my way in from the edges toward where I was centered in the ornament. I really liked the effect!
