They say that Italians are a colorful people; these tenants took it literally! Taken with the Camera + app for iOS. Filters used: clarity. Cropped to golden ratio.

Serenity

A small lake near our vacation home in Italy. The lake is called La Diga, meaning "the dam," because of the large earthen mound that holds the water in. That day, a storm was brewing in the valley, so if you look closely, you might be able to see the veil of rain under the dark clouds.

Taking Flight

People always seem to be amazed when I say that not only did I capture swallows in flight, but it was completely accidental. I was taking a picture of some towering storm clouds when a flock of swallows decided to photo-bomb.

An Offering to the River

Down by the Eno River in Durham, NC, someone had placed some flowers on a rock by the bank of the river. I used a new app I got called Tilt-Shift-Focus to add the blurring effect. Taken with the Camera + app and edited in Camera + and Tilt-Shift-Focus. Effects used: clarity in Camera + and miniaturize in Tilt-Shift-Focus. Cropped to the golden ratio. And just as a fun fact, the golden ratio is approximately 1 : 1.618.
