February - Photo a Day & Tips for Smartphone Photography

iPhone with Snapseed, Mextures and DistressedFx Apps

My tulips are in the phase where the leaves are falling and withering, yet the colors are brighter than ever! So I let them fall, forming modern art on the table - being thankful for my patient husband, who puts up with his wifes "frugal flower art."

The quiet and yet silently concentrated atmosphere has howered over our house this week. Our boys are enjoying the process og gluing the Warhammer- fantasy figues together and painting them.

An afternoon out ice skating is great fun and a way to find your long-lost muscles in your legs ...
Ice skating in February with our younger sons class is a nice tradition - fresh air, cathing up with one another, and swopping the afternoon tea to hot chocolate.

A warm woolen blanket and a book - what else do you need for an unhurried afternoon?

I probably use more time with the camera in my smartphone than phoning from it! Do you use your smartphone for taking pictures?

I share inspiration and  advice on smartphone photography in my article at Love That Shot ... click  the following link and be inspired:

  2. Hi Nina, your images show how beautiful each day is, we just have to open our eyes to it.
    I love the perspective in your ice skating photo. I do take pictures with my phone, it is always there :) I just got the app Waterlogue and I am having fun playing with it. So many apps so little time...

    1. You're right on that - even if the Android and Apple and other systems have many compatible programs, not all the apps are there yet ... Hoping that in time they will!
      Ice skating is fun, we should do that more often :)

  7. Presently I have a Droid. Wondering if I should switch???...:)JP

    1. I don't dare to say - there's pros and cons with everything. The cameras in smatrphones today generally are great, and the apps are developing all the time ...The Snapseed app from Google is ecxellent, I use it very often as well.

    1. Thank you for your note, Nancy! Yes, now that we have a smartphone, let's keep clicking with it :)Alongside iPhone I also use point & shoot and DSLR, but the daily moments are most often taken with iPhone - because I always carry it with me :)

  9. You know...I've tried getting into this iphone-ography but for some strange reason I feel like I'm cheating on my camera! LOL But, yes I do take pictures with it IF I don't have my big girl camera with me.
    Lovely post.
    Have a great weekend.

    1. Hi Diane, that's so sweetly said - cheeting on your camera! It's good to have a back-up phone camera if the big one isn't available - DSLR is the master camera after all. iPhoneography is becoming a photostyle of it's own, I enjoy following the development of the different genres and the fellowships, that are being established around them.

  10. I am just not much good at taking photos with my iPhone - I don't know why. I love the photos I've seen using the waterlogue app - I'd like to try that. Your photo taken through the skate blade is amazing!

    1. Thank you Karen! I like also very much the aquarel-style the Waterlogue enables one to get ... Creating a different feeling and lightness over the image.

    1. Thank you Nicki! Photo a Day-project keeps one taking those pictures, and trying to find a new look and different perspectives to the moments in daily life.

  12. I do love the apps you use but alas, they are not available for Android. I do smartphone phto advice for Samsung 4.

    1. Hi Diane, it would be great if all the apps could be available with the different operating systems in smartphones, but we're not there yet. I've seen that Hipstamtic - Oggl is available for Windows Phones - I wonder if it's also soon available for Samsung / Bada-Tizen operating system? It is great that there's being established smartphone photography communities both within the different operating systems, and also between them, and that you're active in doing the photo advice for Samsung 4!
