Working with photo software

I was surprised to discover that I enjoy shooting close ups of flowers the most.
 

I too enjoy shooting macros of flowers. There is such beauty and structure contained in such a small space. I'm also drawn to the colors. Here's a sunflower I edited in Focus CK, which brings sharpness and highlights to the center, while blurring the outer edges of the flower.

Nicely captured. The purple flower is exquisite. Nice focus and clarity on both shots. What are you using for a camera these days? I've gone over to Micro 4/3 format.
 
Thanks. I bought a Canon Rebel T2i back in 2011. 3 lenses. I'm actually very pleased with the quality I get from my Samsung S5 phone.

My go to camera these days is a Panasonic Lumix DMC G5. It's lightweight and powerful. Bought it for travel originally since I can carry it on the plane. Don't trust checking it in my baggage.

I've heard Lumix makes good cameras. I would never pack my camera but I did pack the long lens in my luggage - very well wrapped up.
 
Playing around with another module called Fx Photo Studio from Macphun. Took this sunrise shot from Maine and applied one of the effects to make this shot. I probably won't use this too much, but it does make for a great sunrise photo.

I had a fairly easy to use resize app on my iPad, which I used to resize any pictures I wanted to post ...I updated my IPads system last week now my app for resizing no longer works :grrr: Now I have to explore / pay for another
I have encountered that issue in the past ,when updating the iPad ..sometimes the other apps developers don't keep up with Apples updates ..

Thanks Annie. I'm enjoying the task of reviewing old shots and improving them or at least changing how they look. I was particularly happy with the 2nd shot in the series above. I may try to blow that up for my mother, as she expressed a desire to frame it. Problem will be whether or not I can get it to the size she wants since it was taken with an older camera with a smaller sensor.
 
From our 2012 trip to Diddlebury, Shropshire, UK to visit our son and grandson. This was a trout pond near where we stayed that week.P1030731.jpg
 
Worked on this last night. It's a shot from Diddlebury. I was really pleased with how this came out.
