Our road trip to Yellowstone gave me plenty of opportunity to practice my iPhoneography skills. The road was long, but scenic, and I had fun editing shots as my husband did the driving. Of course my Nikon was my main camera, but nothing beats a cameraphone for instant results- photos edited with iPhone apps, uploaded to Dropbox during the drive and immediately available on my laptop to post to my blog.
We stopped at Hoover Dam on the way to Yellowstone- first visit for both my husband and myself. Both these photos were edited in Snapseed using the HDR filter. I also warmed them up and added a bit of sharpening and “structure.”
We spent the night in Idaho Falls, a familiar stop for us. After dinner we drove over to the falls, where I snapped this photo. I used Snapseed again for a simple edit (contrast and sharpening) and also used the selective adjust feature to add a bit of a vignette (lightening the middle and darkening the edges). On my wishlist for Snapseed is a vignette filter! I do love the selective adjust feature however; it is similar to the control points used in Nik software.
As you can see from this photo (edited with Waterlogue, we arrived at Yellowstone!
I’m linking up today with Barb’s “app” happy Wednesday. I learn so much from reading her posts and the others who link to her.

Beautiful images! Hoover Dam is massive! And I love the shot of the falls.
Stunning shots! Looks like Hoover Dam is making more improvements since we were there. LOVE LOVE LOVE Yellowstone! We’ve been there twice but I could go there and just STAY! It’s so very beautiful!
Fantastic love all your images, we have sheep and cows on the road but never a buffalo lol….
Great photos and love your tips about Snapseed, which I’m trying to use more frequently. I do the same thing on road trips … play with my photos and apps!
Humm never thought to do a vignette with the Selective adjust before, there is a vignette in Snapseed it is hidden in the Center Focus if you click on the star you will see it.
Thanks, Barbara1 I kept looking in frames- DUH! Center Focus- of course!
I can’t wait to visit Yellowstone. Edit while hubby drives sure makes the time pass quickly!! Beautiful edits
I’m loving the HDR you’re using on the Hoover Dam – it really makes it pop! and of course I love the Waterlogue shot! Sounds like you are having a wonderful time – I’m loving following your adventures!
