Staying Motivated

We are in the dog days of summer.  The heat saps most motivation to get out and about to take photos.  I find myself having withdrawals from being able to get out and photograph everyday.  In order to feel creative and to inspire myself, I have been working on re-editing some of my images with a few new iPhone photo applications.  Below are some of the results.  Although I don't think I would use these regularly, I do feel a bit better and am re-inspired.

This image was achieved through at creative blur technique.  No additional application.  This technique is fun to play around with.

This image was achieved using the Formula Application.  Truth be told, I prefer the original.
