Participants are to post a pic created using a iPhone/iPad/Android-based phone camera and apps. Pics can be of any subject and any app(s) can be used... the only stipulation is that the image must be done all "in-phone". Along with the image, participants are to reveal how they created it, with the specific "recipe".
Here is my contribution - a day early - as I will be attending the opening of our joint art exhibition "Impression | Expression" this evening and won't be back to blog in time.
I used two images, taken with my iPhone 4 and altered with Apps to create what I call my Altered Image:
 |
| Image#1: reflection of gothic window in Cirque Room |
 |
| Image#2: Costume Balls, made for Cirque du Soleil |
 |
| Result: Altered Image "Ephemeral World" |
