Spring stuck into the zinc pot

Spring stuck into the zinc pot
Here's some shameless spam.

I have used here Snapseed* photo application for post processing. I wondered how come such an incredible mobile phone photo editor can be a free ware. Then I found out it's part of the package Google bought from Nik Software, and made it free to all users. So, thank you Google!

It is the first really functional and useful mobile phone software for image processing. It keeps the EXIF untouched, it is easy to use, and full of great features. Used along with also free and now unlimited** Google Images cloud service, it provides an excellent tools to work with images online.

The only Snapseed's limitation is that it does not let adding text small enough (e.g. watermark signature). Text can be added on the image, but even the smallest font size is way too large.

*Source: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snapseed

**On Google Images settings choose lower quality. Then there is no limit for how many images you can store to the cloud. Image quality is still good enough for amateurs like me, who shoots 8MP JPEG images only.

Yes, I suppose there is some soil in the pot. But I actually did not check it.

I usually hate HDR effect images, but Snapseed gives pretty good alternatives for that.

Well, I guess they survive long enough =) Daffodils put inot a flower pot are rather common early spring decorative flower around here, when it is still too early for anything else to grow in the garden =)

Quite the contrast with the textured pot and background and the gentleness of the daffodils. Very nice Sami!

The contrast is the reason why I chose such a heavy post processing :-)

I used HDR effect, and there's good variety of options and sliders for that on Snapseed.

I usually hate almost any sort of HDR effects, but on Snapseed they have plenty of options to make the HDR effect look rather good.

nice one Sami!
I do have Snapseed on my phone, but actually never used it, maybe I should try.

Thanks Wertti =)

I recommend trying it at the cottage ;-) Get a decent camera phone with 4G, and that soon may become all you need =D

Although, I still have wet dreams of having a similar camera as you have now...

Thank you, Sami - I just tried SNAPSEED.
It's a fine "toy" for mobile-snapshots.
Some interesting tools included, I missed for my Galaxy until now
