I love applying this smooth painterly look to photos. It works particularly well for minimalist landscape photos like this one taken of the beach near my home. The effects I use in iColorama are perfect for creating a light, dreamy and happy mood which is generally my state of mind when I head out along…
Apps Uncovered – Upright (Everything’s Alright)
Upright lines or more properly put in photography terms, verticals feature strongly in this week’s Apps Uncovered photographs. The presence of vertical lines can really strengthen a composition especially if they’re repeated like the lines of the lamp posts and tree trunks seen below in our featured photograph from Mark Walton this week. Vertical lines…
Apps Uncovered – 16 August 2020

Apps Uncovered – Sky’s the limit
The sky’s the limit in this week’s Apps Uncovered where you’ll notice in most of the images how a large part of seemingly empty space adds to the drama and feel of each photo or artwork. Thank you to Michael Beresin for our feature image this week “biking” where the shape of the clouds sandwich the…
Apps Uncovered – 10 May 2020 PLUS new Mobile Art Classes.
My huge apologies for the late post this week. As some of you might know, I’ve been working hard (and having fun – see screenshot filming in my garden below) creating a new mobile photo art course launching in just a couple of weeks. I’ll be sharing all of my new discoveries creating digital collages…
Apps Uncovered, 12 April 2020
Selected by Nicki Fitz-Gerald I’ve been saying this for over 10 years now…the iPhone is an extraordinary tool in the hands of creatives and this week’s gallery proves that once again. With most of us in a lockdown situation the challenges of confinement are forcing us to look at our immediate surroundings with fresh eyes.…

Creative Cracks – finding inspiration in ordinary places.
Creative inspiration is everywhere! Sometimes you just have to look down to see it. I’m at it again, trudging the pavement, finding inspiration in the most unlikely places, this time under my feet in the sand filled cracks on Weymouth’s esplanade during my daily walk this week. The damp weather had pressed the sand blown…

Passion for Pavement – street markings during the pandemic
“Look up” I say to my students during photo walks. There are many rich photo opportunities to be had if we simply raise our eyes (followed by our camera lenses) even just a few feet above eye level – but with a new kind of dalliance emerging beneath our feet, I’m currently more inclined to…
