Tweaked, And More Fun With Pictures

This stop and go - one or two inches of snowfall - every now and again - pattern of snowfall has wreaked havoc on my free time this weekend since I have to remain on standby and keep a couple of driveways, parking lots and their attendant sidewalks clear. So unfortunately a window of opportunity to get out for some good exploring the past couple of days didn't present itself.

But we did venture out for a quick ride Sunday afternoon, and in conjunction with my new-found internet mobility I was able to twitter-out a couple of shots while simultaneously rolling through Northampton...





Amazing, these times we live in. The iPhone, while only equipped a 3.1 mega pixel camera, can be endowed with multiple photography 'apps' to handsomely edit and enhance otherwise tepid pics with some old fashioned or other artsy treatments. To wit:



And best of all, the pics can be immediately sent from the phone to Flickr or Twitter, and (I haven't tried yet), but Facebook too, I think. Freedom of movement, bloggified.

On the way back from Northampton, we did a quick stop atop a Mt. Tom lookout for a January viewing of Easthampton, generously tweaked with a tilt-shift effect: another new edit that I've become obsessed with:



How obsessed..? Let's say a few wee-hours of the weekend were spent rifling through my archives to retouch a few otherwise innocent landscape shots...



(Some more of the weekend's tilt-shifting madness can be found here...)



...at any rate, it should be good having a few more blogging options to cast into the pot of swirling stew that is 'in the valley'...
