Enchange Your Mobile Photos with Photo Veils {Photo Recipe}

The warm summer days have arrived ... The familiar landscape is dressed in green shades. The weather has been unstable this week, changing from sunshine to rain and thunder, even hail - I have enjoyed photographing the marvellous and massive clouds, that are being formed above the open landscape.

I'm so excited to share with you great news: 6 lovely photo veils and 6 textures from Love That Shot are now available as a mobile collection. Each veil and texture is available in 3 formats: Horizontal, vertical and square. 

I carry my iPhone with me and use it as a camera, capturing moments and scenes along my way. Having the photo veils directly on my iPhone makes it both easy and fun to add and share the pictures directly from my iPhone. 

I have added two photo veils to the image above, using  the Image Blender-App. The image Blender-App is an application that enables you to do merge two or more photos together. 

You can add layers on your photo and use 18 different blending modes - soft light blending mode included - my favorite blending mode when using texture layers and photo veils. Image Blender-App has also a mask function, whereby you can brush some parts of the texture / veil from your image. 

Photo recipe:

• I started with adding the Honey Wheat mobile veil with the Image Blender app, using blending mode soft ligt with 59% opacity.
• Therafter I added  the Chamomille mobile veil. I masked the veil, brushing the veil-layer away from the clouds, to sustain the pure, white tones in the clouds. Thereafter I changed the blending mode to multiply, with 50 % opacity.

Photo veils add a natural depth and vignette in your photos. Having them available on mobile devices makes it so easy to use them on the daily photos - editing and sharing directly from your mobile phone or tablet!

It's nice to make delicate enchangements to the summer photos on the go with the Mobile Veils & Textures - Thanks so much Misty and Michelle, the founders of Love That Shot, for making the Mobile Collection!

Until next time, 
Nina

Focal Lab {App Happy Wednesday}

Focal Lab is a nice app which allows you to create different graduated blur-effects to your photos. You can select the sharp area in the photo by touching the screen, whereafter you can adjust the strenght of the effect. Focal Lab has 4 types of blur effects: Dreamy Blur, Soft Focus, Zoom Blur and Motion Blur.

I have used the Zoom Blur-effect to the dandelion photo above. The center of the flower is sharp and in focus, and the light Zoom Blur-effect gives an intensive and dynamic feeling to the photo.

My favorite might be the Motion Blur-effect, that gives the daisy below a feeling like it is swaying lightly in the wind.

I have discovered this app recently, and I'm looking forward of playing with the possibilities it gives - layering the effects with Image Blender eller Filterstorm might make fun "slow-motion"-like photos?!

What is your favorite app at the moment - Come and share your photos and tips at Barb's App Happy Wednesday:

A gentle whisper

 “Go out and stand before me on the mountain,” the Lord told him. 

And as Elijah stood there, the Lord passed by, and a mighty windstorm hit the mountain. 

It was such a terrible blast that the rocks were torn loose, but the Lord was not in the wind. 

After the wind there was an earthquake, but the Lord was not in the earthquake. 

And after the earthquake there was a fire, but the Lord was not in the fire. 

And after the fire there was the sound of a gentle whisper.

The silence of a flower:

a kind of silence which be continually evade,

of which we find only the shadow in dreams.

A warm June evening in the florest - a soft breeze from the lake 
caressing the flowers,  as the night falls...

I close my eyes and

feel the warmth from the last rays of sun on my face.

... Enjoying the Midsommer Moments,

Nina

Show me the right path

Show me the right path, O Lord; point out the road for me to follow.  

Lead me by your truth and teach me, for you are the God who saves me.  

All day long I put my hope in you.

Hipstamatic: Chivas lens & Estrada 83 film

In the sweetness of friendship let there be laughter, and sharing of pleasures.

For in the dew of little things the heart finds its morning and is refreshed.

Hipstamatic: G2 lens & Ina's 1935 film

Hipstamatic iPhone application has many different lenses and films, you can combine. The fun thing about this app is that you need to choose the  lens - film-combination before you take the picture - and you'll see the result first afterwards... just like in the old days.

Once a month there will be a new Hipstamatic  lens & film - combination available at Hipstamatic store, the Jalisco Hipsta Pac being the latest.The Chivas lens has a strong contrast, and the Estrada film is grainy and has an old film feel over it, with a charming frame (the upper photo).

In the lower picture I have used G2 lens, that gives vibrant, vintage-like tones, together with Ina's 1935 lens, that has a clean, white frame.

My favourite Hiptamatic combinations are Doris lens and Sussex film, which when combined together, give clear, bluish tones, with a nice, vintage-like frame.

Another Hipsta-favorite of mine is the Dream Canvas film, that has a lovely texture and painterly frame.

Hipstamatic has a fun function, where it finds a random lens - film-combination, when you shake your iPhone. The only disadvantage of the app is that it is available only for IOs devices.

... Wishing you a nice (an App :)  Happy Wednesday,

Nina
