Daily Create #1451 – Cowgirl Selfie http://daily.ds106.us/tdc1451/
Wearing my #western106 hat.
#western106 may or may not take place – but I am getting my gear ready so I am prepared.
I had to try the daily create #1427. I haven’t been using the daily create like I would like too or should. Other life creating has been consuming my time. Look at the submissions and the directions here: http://daily.ds106.us/tdc1427/?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitter
But this one caught my eye and I had to try it. Yep – I am a nerd – I had to smile and make this fun. I also could not focus my camera and have my fingers on the mirror – but hope it is close enough to do the trick.
Key to doing is having dark and no pattern – hence the fuzzy shirt. The first time I did it, I lost one of my hand shots.
A good thing is it was still on the camera so I could correct it.
There are SO many COOL things you can do if you take the time and think them through.
I have NO idea as to when this would be useful or how to apply it – but it was a brain teaser and puzzle to solve.
KEEP SOLVING PUZZLES AND WONDERING!
I have been deep into creating content and organizing a family digital story lately, but check the daily create and jump in when I can. The words “print all over me” reminded me of an app I had downloaded. Found it in my list and re-activated it. Grabbed a pictrure from May when we were watching the Kentucky Derby and decided to put hats on (may have had something to do with the beverages!)
I created a ds106 word list and added it to the app, uploaded my picture and went from there. It’s a nice little app called WordFoto

Back to my other creations! But will be listening to the UMW student radio tweet along on ds106 radio.
Daily creates are just perfect to work on while waiting for video rendering!
Converting some footage for use in a family project and it has 25 minutes of conversion before I can import it into my editor. I recently joined a Zumba Gold class that meets 2x a week. The gold means – slowed down and low impact! A great hour 2x a week. The position of the doodle start reminded me of being in the class.
I used my Paper53 app on my iPad and a finger. Misplaced my stylus someplace! More lines would have been drawn if the stylus was around.
Outcome:
Since it was a daily create I didn’t spend too much time on it. I switched it to B&W and then added some Sepia filter. I used the paint brush and a splatter pattern that took out pixels. I added dust and scratches – although those didn’t come out like I thought they would and not even sure they are there.
I then pulled it into and iPad app called Bazaart and added a vingette and played with some effects. I just deleted most of my photo apps on the iPad to make room for recording audio for a project. There are a few that would age and do this well – but didn’t want to find the apps at the moment.
I have taken old photos and tried to fix them up and look newer and an assignment for #Prisoner106 did need aging such as this for a book cover. Nice spurt of activity to try some things out and not worry about a full project. 🙂
With more time – the photo could still use some aging…..
