I guess this is the only way we are going to see some snow.  More photo app fun with Mom, be patient with her. ~ Indy and Lucy

Yep, Mom is having foto app fun again.  According to Mom, you can have nil computer skills and still use apps.  However, there are some cool apps out there for the more serious photographer; Mom’s just not one of them.  With a lot of apps all you have to do is provide the photo and the app does the rest.  Magic!    Here we are lighting up the night in Tokyo.  Cool or what? ~ Indy and Lucy

Celebrating the memory of Stuart the Scottie in ‘Inspire Your Heart with StuArt day, we are posting our best artistic selfies in his honor because; indeed, he left paw prints on the heARTs of many. ~ Indy and Lucy

Special effect techniques have been around since the early 1900s.  “Star Wars” dramatically increased the use of them.  Now CGI (computer generated imagery) has come to the forefront in films like “Toy Story” and “Jurassic Park.”  Main event companies provide lasers, light shows, pyrotechnics and are multi million dollar businesses.  With every  new smart phone, there is a camera improvement.  Photography apps are updated daily.  Why are special effects popular?  They are magical.

While phone apps will not replace a DSLR camera and top line photo editor, they are, nonetheless, so much fun.  You can edit, add filters, text, make a collage or create any number of effects.These are all done with a photo app for IPhone called Mobile Monet.

Same image different app.  See how much fun.  Enough, Mom.  You need to quit this and pay attention to us. 🙂 ~ Indy and Lucy
