It took a lot a of discipline to post in black and white with all the colors exploding around me. I went to an exciting app to express how I feel about spring! I cropped tiny flowers out of a much larger iPhone photo then added dramatic color in Phototoaster, for the stain glass effect I used Percolator. Finally back to Phototoster for the dramatic B&W.
Gate opens to let in Spring

I like the creative one best. It looks really cool. Is it an app called percolator? 🙂

I thought so, not played with that for quite a while. Your post encoraged me to play again, & I put my pic on Instagram. Thanks for the inspiration Carol 😀

Wonderful effect–it certainly makes the flowers appear to be stain glass. Nicely done. Happy Phoneography Challenge.

Thanks Sally, I use to over use that app now I save it to give a new meaning to an ordinary photo.
Thank you for the reminder of the equinox, too.
Happy Photo Monday!

The photo of the turkey looks like the turkey’s caught in the wires or jumping off the roof! That really gave me pause for a moment. That first one is very 60’s looking. Have to check into that app. (More apps—Heeeeeeeeeeeeelp!)

If remember to use constant shooting with the iphone then I could get the turkey out of the wire next time… 60’s yes it does look like one of those posters whe had on our walls back then…for apps I use Phototoaster all the time there are so many choices with it. Good luck .

Thanks for noticing the work on the first on, Angeline.
I think the gate needs a poem to go with it for spring equinox…
Oh what an idea opening into color!…I bet I could find an app to do that 😉
