Welcome to “app” happy wednesday #3! I’m excited to have you join in!
If you’re new to the party, this is a weekly link-up to share your photos edited with “apps” of course!
- Use any “app” you like and perhaps explain how you used it.
- Did you use just one? Did you combine apps?
- Simply create some art. Post it on your blog or Flickr or wherever you are uploading your work, and then come back here and link it up!
- Visit a few friends to see what they are up to and perhaps learn some fabulous new tips and techniques.
- Spread the word about the link-up, the more the merrier!
- Each party will start at 5:00 am on Wednesdays and will stay open until the following Sunday night at midnight.
I’ve had a pretty busy month between holidaying in Arizona and then returning home to visit family at Easter … and then holidaying in Arizona … on and on …
Anyway, we’re back home and I’m trying to get back on my feet as quickly as possible. So my edits are quite simple this time around!
I took this photo right after we crossed the border from Montana into Alberta. As much as I love to travel, it’s always great to get back home and I wanted to capture the moment.
As I moved my camera up and down the window I realized that the tinted glass at the top of the windshield made a darn good filter all by itself. I loved the blue tones and how they made the rain droplets stand out much more clearly. So this is pretty much straight out of the (phone) camera. Do you not just love it when things like that happen?!
Next, I was inspired by Terri from Photographically Speaking to add some word art. Terri uses “LetterGlow” to add word art to her images but I decided to use PS Touch.
So with a little help from Drop Box I was able to upload this word art by Paislee Press to my Camera Roll, and then into PS Touch where I layered it on top of my image, then changed the blend mode to Multiply at 50%.
I still love Hipstamatic. There is no easier way to create fun art than this program. Pick a film, pick a lens, pick a flash. Or, set it on shake and take whatever happens!
I love this shot of the Hoodoos at Red Canyon, Utah. So vintage.
This is what happens with the crazy Salvador 84 Lens … hmmmm …
And lastly, a little teaser … and no filter … can you guess where I was? I hope to get this story told by Thursday or Friday.
Now it’s your turn! I can’t wait to see your art!

LOVE Hipstamatic to~And I think that Salvador 84 lens might be fun to use. I like it and this is the first time I’ve actually seen it being used. Your top photo is dreamy. And I’ll keep it a secret where you were! Thanks for hosting this meme Barb.
Glad you’re safely home! These are fabulous photos but the one of the road is sheer magic. Isn’t is funny? I’ve never been all than enamored with Hipstamatic. Guess I’ll have to try some more.
I don’t use cell phone or iPad apps to process photographs, but I do have some favorite apps that I use within Photoshop and Lightroom to process images. I’m in love with some of the Topaz plug-ins right now.
All of your images are beautiful. I really love the top one with the drops. I love hearing how other people create with their phone, thanks for the info.
How great is that happen stance of the car filter. Very cool and love how you added word art and it is a fabulous one also. Me too, I love histamatic especially the shake method. Love the phone for just having fun. Didn’t get an app wednesday up and will be off and on most weeks but will have to stop by and give you my love. Glad you made it home, long trip, pooped hubby I imagine.
I love that rain shot! I use the top of the window a lot. makes great skies. Or shooting through the side windows that are tinted is good too. I always forget about Hipsta. :(
really neat creations, barb! love the wanderlust one.
Love love love the top one- adding the word art was the icing on the cake. I could see this as the cover of a photo book of your travels! Can’t wait to see more canyon photos!
I love the first photo, and the type adds so much ! The canyon photos are great too, thanks for sharing !
Oh, wow, that windshield shot is pure magic! I’ve noticed that great blue “filter” that the top of the windshield gives your photo and I love the word art you added! I’m with Dotti — not a big Hipsta fan but I know a lot of people are. Really looking forward to seeing your post on your “mystery” location!
Another awesome set, Barb!! Hipstamatic is a really fun and cool app. Thanks for reminding me that I had it. :) I have no idea on the teaser, but I look forward to hearing what it is.
Fantastic images. I especially love your word art. Thank you for hosting, I found so many tips and new apps last week. :)
I love what you have created. Im learning so much here.
Hi Barb…..finally got my picture posted but did not see where to write what I did! Hopefully I will get the hang of this. Thanks for your help and letting me share.. Your photos are always wonderful!
