Oh Snapseed!

in #photography7 years ago (edited)

If music is my main highway, cell phone photography is that little sideroad I sometimes like to take for fun. I like to photograph things, objects, items out of place. I like the miniature world of insects, as well as great expanses and landscapes.

My phone is a Huawei LYO-L02. Recently, I started to feel limited by my phone's editing abilities. After asking around a bit, Snapseed had been recommended to me me by several photog friends. So I downloaded it.

It's an app that I find so easy to use! It's not as basic as my phone's editing abilities. I now have a brush tool, and selection tool, I can play with the perspective, there are all kinds of interesting filters, frames. It's nowhere near the complexity of something like Photoshop, however. I think that for me, Snapseed will serve in the time between now, and when I have spent a few dozen hours learning the basics of Photoshop. Although I feel like I can do more with Snapseed, I am starting to see it's limitations, and the advantage that will be learning how to use a more advanced program.

The photo below is one of my adopted ruler and queen. She is the greatest huntress of all time. Though she is the most fearsome ruler in the loft--- I mean, in the land, she is also the most just. (Ok, she says that that's enough praise for now and I may continue with my blog post)

Anyhow, this was my first photo using Snapseed.

This new interest in photography has its useful applications too; I'm using this tool for show posters and promotion of my music in the regular world! I'm finding the editing process to be a LOT of fun and I've got more neat stuff to share real soon.
