Glided Flicker Textured

This female Gilded Flicker was so engrossed in eating she didn’t mind me moving in for a closer look. I noticed she had a crooked beak but it didn’t seem to hinder her eating.

Vignette

Vignette is the name of a photography application for my Droid X. I had read in forums that shooting with some apps could result in better image quality and it’s really true. Not only does Vignette give you options for creative processing in the camera but it also allows you to adjust many camera functions not available with the default camera. Things like white balance, focusing options and scene modes. On the flip side, there are some apps that reduce quality and some won’t work with full resolution images which I found out after the fact. I’ve tried several apps so far….some free…some not…and Vignette is the best so far.

Retro Cactus

Lots going on so I almost forgot to post an image. Needing a quick photo, I grabbed my DroidX and headed to Javelina Cafe (a fenced in area of my yard that’s filled with yummy Javelina favorites). This cactus was captured using an app called Retro Camera. It doesn’t have as many options as the other camera apps but it’s fun and quick! Having an image processed completely in the camera is so much fun but boy can it drain your battery quickly. Guess I better order a spare 🙂
