They say things happen in threes...

The unseasonably warm weather in Sydney has produced some wonderful Autumn roses in my garden. These photos were taken on my Windows phone, using the Hipstamatic Oggl app - I'm still exploring the possibilities. 

First Rose: Loftus and DC effects. It's an interesting result, but I think the area of soft focus is a bit out of proportion and overpowers the image.

Second Rose - Loftus and Ina's 1982 effects.  Ina's 1982 is described as a "warm white matt effect". 
To my eye, this shot works a little better than the first. The soft surrounds frame and draw the eye into the centre of the flower.


Third Rose: Loftus and Dixie effects.  I like this one - the soft feathered edges and coloured "light leak" effect of "Dixie" give a painterly, almost dreamlike effect. 

Anyway, it's fun to experiment with something different, even if the results aren't perfect.
