Blue Skies and Apps

My dad taught me a lot about taking photos. I spent years envious of his traditional film SLR until we went to a camera show and I bought my own SLR. Not quite as fancy as his with macro and telephoto lenses, and it was likely 20-30 years old when I bought it, but I was thrilled to be able to take photos like dad. I felt so professional. I was taking a photography class at the time and learned the pinhole camera technique, how to develop my own black and white plus color prints, and hand coloring. 

Fast forward a few years. We use our phones to take practically all our photos and blog from them. Some use digital point & shoots, others DSLR's. Each serves it's purpose. Now we have apps to edit and produce photos and rarely print a photo. I love having a camera with me all the time. I can capture amazing moments I've rarely been able to share. Because my dad is always forward thinking & willing to try new technology, I too am always exploring apps to improve my photos.

I received a wonderful gift from my Dad, a book on photo apps. Often I've looked at books on apps as dated as soon as they're published and pointless because of my inquisitive nature and experience testing software, most apps are so intuitive to me and easy to figure out. But, what this book has done is vett the thousands of apps allowing the cream to rise to the top, gives you creative challenges and showcases other photographers. I've gotten lost in it and also found a few apps I love.
Today, before buying Autostitch, I took photos based on how I saw you could stitch them together with the app. Then after deciding I was sure I wanted to spend money on an app, I bought it and loaded the photos. Holy crap. I was amazed! So easy. So elegant. And now, I can share today's glorious sky with you in panoramic view. These took 6-11 photos each.
