Readers a question!

Readers of thathornsbyblog I have a question for you!

If I buy a smartphone with wifi and a camera will you FOLLOW ME if I post on a daily basis! As well as flower photos I'll post local shop specials and PR small businesses and local events.

At the moment my "reporters' kit" is an 10 year old 5megapixel camera and a laptop  and hopefully a sense of composition and framing.

As smart phones now have photo apps built in ...

Time to go pro?

The Advocate and Bush Telegraphy are weekly but I could post DAILY?

What do you think?

A WHITE FLOWER

I'm probably going to have to sharpen this a bit or just use it as a reference shot or remove the background and place it in a pattern maybe a floral collage for a surface design.

Why put a less than perfect shot. Look at the spiral form. Despite slight blur this can still be a usable reference shot or a starting point for something else with further editing and filters .

Imagine say this shot with a paint effect filter added? The slight blurring may actually mean LESS modifications are necessary to be able to add paint filters without them looking kitsch or clumsy .

If you dont have photoshop try downloading gimp or inkscape from Source Forge and play with the filters!
