One of the negative comments I hear from critiques of iPhone Photography is how 'Anyone can do it' by just a tap of a button. I agree that many apps have wonderful filters, presets, frames or one tap buttons that create very unique looks easily, however, that is just the start of the creative possibilities.
On average I spend about an hour in just processing the images I post to this blog. That doesn't include the time it takes to capture the image or the time it has taken me to learn what the photographic applications are capable of.
Today I wanted to demonstrate how I used the applications together to create this blog image. Please keep in mind that by showing what is possible with blending and brushing you can create an artist look all of your own. It is important to understand that knowing where to find a particular tool is valuable and learned by continually practicing your craft.
Many examples of what is possible are shown during The Last-Pixel Show Workshops. Hope you can participant in one next year so you too can unleash the artistic lunatic in you! Yes it is so fun!

I know you've heard it a thousand times before. But it's true -- hard work pays off. If you want to be good, you have to practice, practice, practice. If you don't love something, then don't do it.
