When I was preparing for my talk at TOPs camera club I came across a drawing app called Imaengine. I love it because of the ink lines and think it would make some pretty greeting cards. Maybe I can use for a Christmas card with a poinsettia this next year. I know I cannot take all my stamping supplies with me to the "old folks home".LOL 
In preparation for my presentation to the camera club on Thurs. nite, I have been experimenting with different image and apps. I am actually using Power Point for the presentation because I wanted to be able to have the original and the post processing changed version side by side. I found anapp called DeepArtEffects. Did not sign up for the Premiere subscription as pricey. The original I took at Gateway Learning Center, GSO, because I liked the shadows and patterns in the late afternoon sun. I love this filter that gave a light pink hue to the image with the click of a button. 
Hellebores are a lovely plant that blooms in the winter months. The close up image on the left was taken at the GSO Arbotetum. I like the purple ones better then the white blossoms. The image on the right I used the Paint Dauber filter in PSE 15 to do some DAA. Digital Alteration Art. I am doing a presentation on Thurs., March lst to the TOPS camera club. 
In March I volunteered to do a presentation on Digital Art Alterations for the TOPS camera club. This is about either taking the photos that may be artistic as some cameras have vivid or scenic modes at the time you take the image. Or using photo editing post processing software or apps for iOS and Android. This is challenging as the audience has professionals and there are members just beginning to enhance their photography skills. In NC not much in bloom in February, but took a walk in the neighborhood. I am always looking for patterns and textures, knowing that the image I originally take may be altered. The image on the left is the original taken on a cloudy day of my neighbors leaves of a "stinkin Hellebore plant". The image on the right has the use of Waterlogue app which is an iOS one for iPad or iPhone. Initial edit for shadows and saturation done in Windows Media Software.
