Packing jewellery for a trip. I’ve managed to get a lot of matching rings and pendants given I only bought one set of these together. In most cases one piece was bought months and miles away from the other.

Silver & sapphire jewellery and an Avoca scarf and glove set.

Taken today with Camera+ on iPhone.

Photo taken on the 31st October 2010 in the Wye Valley near Tintern Abbey. The autumn colours were stunning last year and I don’t think we’ll get them as good this year. This is edited in Flare using a variant of the “Hugging Hipsters” preset.

Photo was taken on holiday last year from the cloisters of Durham Cathedral. It’s a lovely little city watched over by the looming mass of a large cathedral at the top of the hill.

Photo was editing in Flare using a variant of the “Resplendent” preset. I liked the glow and the way it’s created an almost graphic novel style for the image

Taken with Sony A33 at Hidcote again and edited using Flare App for Mac – slight tweak of the pop art preset.

The original photo – a daisy taken at Hidcote Gardens in July this year. I really like this photo anyway as the glow behind works really well with the flower

The version edited in Flare – using the Shoebox presets with a change of texture. Old, cracked and worn and yet surprisingly doesn’t look too artificial – more genuinely old than obviously filtered. I’m impressed with the app so far – more natural variety than most simple photo filter software.
