throw them away. I don’t choose anything with
particular forethought, much preferring the
element of surprise that comes with the drying
process, nor do I pose bunches of flowers as
they dry (though I will sometimes remove a
genre from a vase to create a different picture),
as ultimately, Mother Nature knows what she’s
doing and is so much better at it than me!
What camera(s) do you use?
I have just purchased a Canon 760D and a
macro 100mm 2.8L IS lens, and am still coming
to grips with the change. I am very much a
kinetic learner and need to spend time out
there doing, ideally with supervisory support
rather than trying to understand manuals!
I still also, when caught without my camera,
use my phone.
What are some of your favourite editing apps
and why?
When I discovered editing tools I was totally
hooked, loving the ability they gave to enhance
and emphasize light and colour without the
need to have any technical photography skills
- a much less messy form of painting! I like
Snapseed for familiarity (the first editing app
I used); Photoshop Express for flexibility; Paint
FX for precision; Mextures (oh, how I love
thee!), for colour, texture, light - and that is just
about everything needed to ‘paint’ a picture!
