BlackBerry Moment: Shadow Photo Play

Mom: "Dragonflies are for girls" Son: "No, for babies". :)

Our son's holding a BlackBerry Bold 9780 using Flashlight App and a dragonfly.

There's the photo play. The design of the dragonfly is revealed as reflected on the wall.

The silhouette, the dragonfly and the shadow.

Mom: "Okay Yuri, give me all my stuff. Photo session's over". LOL!

Review: BlackBerry Photo Studio App

April 19 is the last day of operation of my favorite free online photo editing Picnik.com then its movement to Google+. Google's social network.

Most if not all of my BlackBerry images here in my blog were usually edited through Picnik, but with this development, I have started searching a good alternative because I am not sure if the accessibility of Picnik in Google+ later would be as easier like It is now.

Good thing I found this one BlackBerry application Photo Studio. Again, I only avail for now the free version but pro is available for a minimal fee. I like the simplicity and the user friendly features of this photo studio app. Features like, frames, effects, change of colors and you can adjust the brightness, contrast, hue, saturation and a lot more.

How to get this, see the following Jiffy screen shots below:

• Go to your BlackBerry App World.

• After searching "Photo Studio" in the search box, you will see the choices as the one below. Select "Photo Studio" and download.

• When download is complete, go to downloads tray and start editing your photos.

• Simply follow the instruction below. You may tick the "Don't show again" box if you don't want to be prompted again with this message.

• This is now my raw photo of the Burj Khalifa in Dubai, the World's Tallest Tower.

• You can change the effects whichever you think fitting to your photo and you can also add frames to make it more appealing.

• And these are the final results. These will be saved automatically to your public library. You can save it in JPEG and other common formats and print or post in Facebook.

No worries this time even if picnik will move right now to Google+, I have this cool Photo Studio app already. Very easy and convenient to use anywhere, anytime.

Cheers!

BlackBerry Photography: Symmetry

(click to enlarge)

Every time my wife and I visit the Dubai Mall, it is always like our first time, because we always see new things anywhere, like this hanging decor at the Bloomingdale's side. I intentionally took this bb pic with this angle and seems great to me. A symmetry.


Did you know: that there are two primary meanings of symmetry? The first is imprecise sense of harmonious or aesthetically pleasing proportionality and balance; such that it reflects beauty or perfection. The second meaning is a precise and well-defined concept of balance or "patterned self-similarity" that can be demonstrated or proved according to the rules of a formal system. Source: wikipedia.org
