Techno for Thursday......

I'm going to try and dedicate

Thursdays to some of the

"Technical"

side of creative exploits that are available now.

I have talked before about

my love for

the photography Apps

that are out there.

In talking with others,

I realized a lot of people are unaware

that you don't have to own an IPHONE

to use these apps!

If your IPOD touch has

a camera.

You can download pretty much the same apps

and

 create / filter/ alter your photos 

to your hearts content!

From what I understand though

the camera may not be quite

as "good" on the IPOD

because it has less magapixels.

WHA?

(Techno blarg...right ?)

In a way -

like a regular T.V. vs. a High Definition.

Here are a few shots I have taken with my IPOD...

I'm going to show you a range

of different types of photos.

I want you to see just how

different the effects and definition can be ...

 This was taken out my car window!

Then later

 filtered and focal blur added.

 Taken inside the car...

Same as above

 later filtered and focal blur effects added.

Taken outside on a decent sunny day.

Filtered, Vignette added and focal blur.

 Taken inside but with daylight only.

Filter and frame added.

(if you are not from the SOUTH - that is a plate of biscuits and white gravy!)

 Taken indoors but with broken daylight.

Filtered, focal blur, and frame added.

 Taken indoors.

Filtered and framed.

 Taken on a drizzly, overcast day.

Focal blur and custom filter applied, framed.

 Different types of pics all flitered

but this time

placed in a customizable collage frame.

 Taken at sunset, low light.

Filtered, focal blur, framed.

 All collage examples are set of fours.

I think this is a great example of how a

 filter can give a certain type of mood to your photos.

 Taken from inside the car.

Daylight,filtered, focal blur.

 More collage.

No changes or filters made to these.

 Outdoors, rainy, overcast day.

Custom filter applied, severe focal blur.

One of my favorites.

Rainy, overcast day.

Custom filter applied, focal blur,vignette.

 Out the window of a plane!

No filter-

 true to life photo.

 Indoors,daylight.

Filtered, framed.

Outdoors,overcast.

Focal blur only.

 Not too bad, huh?

That is really just a SMALL sampling

of my photos from the IPOD! 

Of course any photo is going to be

more defined

when they are smaller on your device screen

vs. blown up like they are here.

SO now you know!

If you would like to look at APPS for photo taking-

Go to the APP store

 just like for any other purchases.

Look for the photography category

and 

browse.

Start with some free ones.

One thing that helps is how new your TOUCH is also.

Some APPS aren't compatible with 

the older TOUCH models

or

 you may need to upgrade the software.

The store will instantly tell you weather you

are compatible when you try and download.

I hope this helps or gives you some info you didn't know!

Next week I'll post some of the neat

sites offering ways to print your 

Ipod/Iphone photos!

Thanks for visiting

and Happy Thursday!
