Here's a shot from my workshop with Tony Sweet two springs ago. I believe this was shot from one of Tony's secret spots off Sparks Lane where the sun rises through a notch in the mountains and lights the background in that brilliant golden blast. Captured with my Nikon D300- an OK shot, I've always thought. I brought it into the iPhone and used the Artista Oil app and ended up with a result I like far better. Perhaps it is the frustrated artist in me that finds the oil treatment so satisfying. I suppose I could get Alien Skin plugin (for many times the cost of iphone app) and arrive at the same result on the computer.
