Week 7 of the Snappy H’appy Photo Challenge hosted by weliveinaflat and firebonnet
This challenge asks you to (1) share a good photo that you took or edited last week, (2) run it through a photo app on your smartphone or mobile device and share with us the result. We’re back to the theme of Art effects this week – Sketch effects.
Camera360 App
Original – iPhone5
LIVING WITH MY ANCESTORS 
Oooooh! I have never done this and it looks awesome!
Thanks, Cindy. Some of these apps can be such fun! 🙂
Ah, what a cool app. Your shot was pretty to begin with. 🙂
Aw, thanks, Imelda! 🙂
very nice, and beautiful color
giorno felice
Thank you for coming by and complimenting! Much appreciated! 🙂
That effect worked very well! Do you do a lot of that type of editing?
Thanks! I still consider myself quite a notice at any kind of photo editing — gosh, a novice at any kind of photo taking! But some of the free apps/software I’ve downloaded can create such a different looking photo. This was easy in Camera360 as there is a filter for “sketch”. I must admit it feels a little like cheating. But I don’t have a clue how to use those more detailed programs like photoshop or GIMP! So, in answer to your question, I don’t do a lot of that type of editing! 😉 Usually it’s pretty much what you see is what you get. LOL!
Sounds about like where I am at Linda. It is fun to play and experiment a bit though I must say. Looking forward to seeing more from you!
Back at ya! 😉
I don’t have the equipment (not even a smart phone) but I enjoy what you’ve done with it.
Ah, but I bet you have a camera and I know you have a computer! hee hee!! 😉
That is true…
OH, wowo!!! Linda, fantastic job! I think I know how to do this on PS but not sure. But man, you nailed it and I hope you win!!! Love, Amy
Thanks, Amy. I see, you’re way ahead of me in photo editing knowledge. I don’t have PS; I downloaded GIMP which is supposed to be somewhat similar. Can’t seem to figure the thing out! 🙂
Oh, between you and me, Linda. I cannot figure out Adobe Photoshop so I use Adobe Photoshop Elements. Basically they do both the same, except PS is so darn HARD to use it makes my eyeballs spin. I am not a professional photographer, and no one taught me how to do any editing. I highly recommend Photoshops Elements SIX. That is the one I use. I bought 3 books to help me along as well. Reading the reviews on newer versions of Elements, there was a lot of negative feedback and many were sorry they changed. So many of these programs are so darn hard … I can’t even figure out how to do the simple editing. WHY must these people make these programs so hard? Grrrrrr …. BUT!!!! What I mentioned here about Photoshop Elements 6, I LOVE!!! If you want any recommendations as to books, etc …. ring my doorbell. You know my address. LOL (((HUGS))) Amy
Oh, Amy, you must excuse me but I couldn’t help but chuckle while reading your comment! It was like you were taking stuff straight out of my head! Maybe one of these days I’ll spring the $100 or so on some fancy photo editing software but I’m not there yet! I figure if I can’t figure out GIMP which is free, I’m not ready for the big time! HAHA!
But that is the beauty of Photoshop Elements 6. It is cheap because it is “outdated”. I got mine with another program for hubs on Amazon for $99. Alone I think I would have paid $45 so his program is actually more expensive then mine.
I have a couple of freebies I have on my iPad if you are interested. The one I use all the time but I still prefer my Elements. This photography stuff can get seriously expensive! I still have my long range lense to buy (75-300mm) with Polar Density Filter and that baby all by itself is going to cost me dearly. I have a cheapie tripod that I am working with and someday I would like a better one. Then there is the remote device for taking pics on the tripod without touching the camera. Then I think I will be set. I could go on and on, believe me, but I will not be running after all this expensive equipment when I have a family and responsibilities. For years I worked with cheap lenses, and now that I have quality lenses, they are like gold to me. OH, one more thing. I need a hood for my lenses to prevent cracking or breakage. I don’t think that item is too steep. It is the lense and the filter that is sky high! But, if I take care of them, and yes I know how to, they will last me a life time.
So when you are ready to take the plunge, let me know. I will be more then willing to help you. (((HUGS))) Amy
Slow and steady wins the race! I know, it’s an old cliche. But, hey, if it works! 😉 You’ll get the pieces you need and you’re like me. When you finally get something like that, you’ll take care of it! My husband thinks it’s kind of funny because I have some things that NO ONE is allowed to use but me. I said I’m not being selfish. Experience has shown that if I open them up to everyone’s use, something always happens to it! So, one for me, one for them! LOL! I suppose I learned that from my mother. When I was little, she would buy two dolls, give me one to play with and store the other one (she said I could have it when I was grown up). Boy, was she right! I don’t have the ones I played with anymore, but I have the ones she saved! Well, I’m rambling. Later, sweet lady! 🙂
Oh, Linda!!! I’m the same way!!! My camera is mine. It’s not selfish. I just know how I handle her. My camera equipment is mine as well. I clean it and care for it all. I waited a long time for these expensive lenses and an expensive camera, so I cherish them. When the time is right, I’ll be able to get the other accessories as well. I do have a cheap 75-300mm lense right now, and with the tricks I have learned from editing, I could use this with excellent results.
So, I am by no means in dire straights. LOL Hey, and it is way OK to ramble once in a while. We work hard to do what we bloggers do, and it is SO nice to have a meaningful conversation like this. This really meant a lot to me, Linda, and I really thank you!!! You have a great evening!!! (((HUGS))) Amy
beautiful both ways!
Thanks for the visit and comment! Hugs! 🙂

Absolutely gorgeous Linda. Well done! 😀

((( hugs ))) and ♥♥♥ , Doda
Wow, thanks, Doda! You’re makin’ me blush! 😉
I like how the colors in the bird stand out. Very cool.
What a great shot to start out with… all that textural detail in the background makes for a great sketch. I really like how the bird pops out in the drawing… great choice in app for this challenge! (sorry it took so long for me to visit!)
Thanks, Meg! No apologies necessary! I actually have to do some ignored work and will probably fall behind in my postings and visits! Glad you enjoyed! 🙂
I like that the filter brightens up the parrot and gave the wing feathers more structure 🙂 It definitely pops out of the contrasting green background as Megan says. Thanks for sharing with us, Linda! 😉
Thanks so much for your compliment! And thanks for the fun challenge! I’ll be doing more (once I get caught up on a few things around here)!! 😛

How beautiful!
Thanks so much! 🙂
Wow! I love the photograph Linda, but the sketch effect takes the image to a completely different level-very beautiful-this worked really well for this week’s challenge!
Thanks, Meg! I had fun with this one. I wasn’t too sure at first but I’m glad it has found favor! 🙂
