Android Editors : Weekly Theme : Work  : presented by Android Editors member @pavingapril


This week’s theme is based on something that has been taking all my time lately… work! In fact, I had so little time to shoot this week, I resorted to taking a photo while I was working and felt that it was an appropriate theme. This week let’s get creative and take some photos during the work day. If that’s not possible for you do (some bosses might not like it), then try and snag a shot of someone else that is working, or an entire busy workplace, or any other creative interpretation you can think of. I work outside and have come to enjoy the challenge of getting a quick photo while I’m on break. You might be surprised at the photos you find that are around you during your “9 to 5”. Tag your shots #AE_Theme_Work for a chance to be featured in next weeks collage. And as always **ALL PLATFORMS ARE WELCOME**. Happy shooting!

Sunday Feature by Justin Dufrene
These are various photos taken around my small city of Lake Charles in southwest Louisiana, with exception of one from my recent trip to New York City. The majority of my photos are sunset and landscape shots. I didn’t get into taking photos until I started an Instagram.  I’m sure there are plenty that can relate to that.  Sometimes it seems like I’ve taken pictures of just about everything around my area, so I look forward to getting out to new places. I really enjoyed taking pics when I went to NYC and wish I had more opportunities to photograph in cities. 
Bio
Born and raised in Louisiana. I love to travel, although I’m not able to do as much as I would like. I’m in the casino business, which is 24/7 365 so that can make it difficult sometimes. I’m new to photography and I didn’t start taking photos until I stumbled across Instagram. I’m glad that I did because as I have gotten older I had really forgotten how much I like getting out into nature, or just appreciating the scenery around me.   Typically I get bored of things after awhile and I find something else to move on to.  So it should be interesting to see how long snapping pics survives…  
What are your thoughts about mobile photography?
I think its amazing how far these camera’s have come in such a short time. We are able to capture so many things now that we would’ve missed just a short time ago. 
Explain your photo and editing style
I suppose I don’t really have a certain style, but I do attempt to try and catch things from vantage points other than eye level.  A lot of times I find myself taking shots from low angles.  When it comes to editing, you could say I take a ‘less is more’ approach.  I don’t do much to it other than slight adjustments to things like saturation, contrast, ambiance, etc.  I rarely add other images into the photo.  I just try to keep it simple.  I also like reading through various quotes, so usually I will use one to attach to the photo. 
What are your favorite apps?
My most used editing app is Snapseed, or the stock editing features on my HTC One.  I also like TouchRetouch. It’s a great tool that allows you to remove unwanted images from your photo (which can be tricky sometimes). If I ever add anything into the photo, I use PicSay Pro.  I rarely use the Instagram filters. Nothing personal, IG. 
Editing process
This was taken with my HTC One. This photo is actually just someone’s front yard I passed by on a foggy morning. I have another angle of it posted where it appears to be a small gravel road headed to the middle of nowhere, which is really their driveway headed to their house (shh dont tell them, I didnt ask). I mentioned earlier that I rarely add anything into the photos. However on this photo, I did add my wife in after the fact. I cut her image from another photo using PicSay Pro, then added it.  I then cut a piece of fog from the top of the photo to layer over her.  Using my HTC One’s editing features, I changed it to black and white then added in a slight vignette.  This is one of the few photos that didn’t go through Snapseed.

Monochrome Feature by Clara Torrents Canals

I took this photo during the D-ive, a mobile photo Festival in Barcelona. It was a really amazing experience for me, an Iger, but for a child… well, you just have to look at his face! The perspective with exit door was wonderful! Then, when I saw the picture, I missed the sign to indicate the exit so I made it!

Bio

My name is Clara and I live in Barcelona. I distribute my time between work, a drudgery, and my children, a total chaos! Illustration and photography have always been two of my passions and with mobile photography I’ve found the best way to practice them anywhere and anytime. Most of my pictures are of my children, they are my muses but, if you look closely, they almost always never looks at the camera! They hate posing and I prefer to capture moments, not to provoke them.

What are your thoughts about mobile photography?

Mobile photography allows any person, without being a professional photographer, to show the world in a totally subjective perspective and share it. Every day there is a sunset but millions of pictures about it!

What does Monochrome mean to you?

Edit in monochrome is my tribute to light. In monochrome edits light is the king - no color monopolizes the image, there are only backlights.

What are your sources of inspiration?

My favorite monochrome photographers: @jasonmpeterson I love how he enhances the effects of light on contours! And @reyesmendoza Her black-and-white photos are so deep.

Editing Process of the Featured Photo

My mobile device is an Sony Xperia Neo. I took this photo with the native camera, then I opened it in Snapseed. I used the black & white contrast and increased the brightness until I achieved an absolutely white wall. I always use Photo Editor to crop and retouch the contrast with color curves. The next step was to save the pic and open it again in Pixlr Express to add text. Finally, I used PicSayPro to overlay both images (with and without text) and then I erase the parts of the text over the door. Tip: If you want the best results for deleting the parts you are not interested, PicSayPro allows an incredible zoom until you can erase the pixels one by one. That’s all.

Android Editors : Weekly Theme : Tossed  : presented by Android Editors member @jessuckapow


How’s the saying go, “one [wo]man’s trash is another [wo]man’s treasure”?  Our stuff is so expendable, whether a coke bottle, a house, food, clothes, car…you name it, someone tosses it and typically someone else will come around and think, “Omg…SCORE!!”  Your challenge, if you wish to accept it, is to keep your eyes peeled for the discarded…NOT YOUR discards, someone else’s discarded stuff that you happen upon and find fascinating enough to etch into a digital image. We want to see things as is, as you found them, including their positioning.

This week we’re back to our old rules…old pics and new pics welcome and this is just a one week challenge and as always ALL PLATFORMS welcome to participate. Tag all your images to #AE_Theme_Tossed and happy garbage hunting!

Android Editors : Weekly Theme : Collaboration  : presented by Android Editors member @pavingapril


There are many great things that mobile photography has brought to the community. One of the most special aspects is the collaboration. Anywhere from two, to many people being involved in a singular work of photographic art. You can learn so much and become so inspired by being able to witness someone else’s creative process in direct comparison to your own, first hand and up close. The image above was created using a photo of New York shared with me by Ketty @ladykty, a fellow EyeEm ambassador. I wanted to show the wonder that someone can be in a small town yet be able to be in the Big Apple thanks to a collaboration.
Android Editors has always encouraged collaboration and was essentially founded by it. Atle @atler and I collaborated on his idea in order to give birth to @Droidedit almost a year ago. There’s also the popular #iDroid_Collab initiative that is featuring cross platform collaborations done by iPhone and Android users working together.
In honor of this we are having a special 2 WEEK COLLABORATION THEME. Tag your collabs with #AE_Theme_Collab (and #iDroid_Collab if it qualifies) for a chance to be featured. **ALL PLATFORMS ARE WELCOMED AND ENCOURAGED TO JOIN IN**

Sunday Feature by Antonella Gamberoni
These are landscapes of the surroundings of Lake Garda using my HTC Sensation Z710. I live in this area and love amateur photography. I like nature and especially the sunsets and these photos are a proof of that. I prefer using my smartphone because the camera is always ready to take the shot.
