Paradise - Loggerheads N Wales

Still on retreat, hedgehog like, in North Wales.
Thanks to a new medication that I was allergic to, I got to Loggerheads to take some photographs with my iPhone.
Adrenal gland still sulking as is the rest of the Fibro body, so the photos are as near as I'll get for some time. Fortunately I took lots of photos...and some video too.
Hurrah for smartphones.

#Art Apps that add painted effects

See the full gallery on Posterous

The last few posts I've mentioned my fondness for adding painterly effects to the images I create - most recently with the 'Paint Mee' app.
Another painterly app is 'Auto Painter.' (There's Auto Painter ll now as well) This differs from Paint Mee and Artisita Oil in that there are no adjustments possible. These latter two apps let you tweak everything from brush size to colour palette etc. With Auto Painter there are four different filters and that's it. Apart from the option to mask the area you want the most detail added to, but I've not noticed this making much difference really...

Auto Painter one has four filters - Aquarell, Benson, Cezanne, and Van Gogh.
I'm posting this from my phone because I'm in bed, (had a bad week pain and fatigue wise this week.) so I don't know what order the app will post the images in. What I'm aiming for is -

1: The original photograph of a tree (taken with the iPhone 4S) which I then tweaked in Camera+ and turned into a painted version with Paint Mee.
2: The paint Mee version
3: Auto Painter Aquarell
4: Auto Painter Benson
5: Auto Painter Cezanne 6: Auto Painter Van Gogh (I've never seen this filter produce anything I like.)
7,8,9: Are screen shots from the app.

AppIt returns to iPhoneArt.com - WARNING this post contains trees.

After a break - both for AppIt! and for me - the challenge returns. This time the photo comes from iHeart.

I've avoided iPA for a while, along with a lot of things, because...oh a multitude of reasons. Mostly because I'm aware that I can no longer keep up with much and just posting and not commenting/replying much stresses me out with guilt.

Also, my muse doesn't seem to approve of my mood of late and has gone elsewhere.
Till Appit started.
The photo is of a tree.
Just a tree.
In a field.
...and I couldn't for the life of me decide what to do with it apart from alter its colour etc. But it's turned into a journey of app revisiting and I'm having fun.

Tsk...missed a tree

Using the app...so here's the last one
