The blog has been quiet for a while now mostly because weather, life, and an overabundance of water has conspired to keep me from fishing this year. I was able to take one trip in February to the Stanislaus river, our usual winter fishing location. I have written about the river quite a bit elsewhere, so I won't belabor it's charms, but we had a good half-day of fishing, and landed a few rainbows under the bridge. I also got a chance to play my new bag-pipes during lunch. 1 Comment I don't have an iPhone, but I do have an iPod touch, which I sometimes use as an on-the-fly camera. I have played around with a few iOS camera programs, but never really did much with them, as my better photographs were not usually on my iPod. That all changed last week when I updated my iPod's OS, and found that with the new iCloud service, photo's moved seamlessly between my iPod and Aperture (Apple's pro version of iPhoto). When I set up iCloud, I thought it would be a nice way to cary around my pics, I never thought that I would integrate the iPod into my photo-editing process. That changed this morning when I came upon this guest post by photographer Robert Yaskovic on the excellent Fiberglass Manifesto blog. In the post, Robert outlined several iOS apps that he uses to process fishing pics he takes with his iPhone. While I don't take my iPod fishing, I was inspired to use some of his processes on my favorite fishing pics that I took with my waterproof digital camera. Here are some of the pics I posted last friday, edited with Camera+, using Robert's tips. As you can see from the sidebar, this blog recently became part of the Outdoor Blogger Network. Among many other things, the network periodically provides prompts for bloggers. The most recent photo prompt was for "your favorite outdoor place (landscape)". So here are two shots of the lower Stanislaus River, my favorite place to fish in winter. Working on a longer post about recent excursions to the lower Stanislaus, look for it next week. --Posted by Eben |
