There is a saying, attributed to Louis XVIII, that punctuality is the politeness of kings. I take being on time very seriously and because \u00a0I’m usually afraid to be late for an appointment, I\u2019m often early.<\/p>\n

\"iPhone
I decided to include a little bit of the beach and Firth of Forth in my composition, reserving the largest part of the frame for the sky, because it was the most interesting element.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I used to rue the time I wasted waiting for the meeting or appointment because I was ahead of schedule. Not anymore. Now that I\u2019ve learned to use the camera that is always with me, in my iPhone, I spend the time waiting for my appointment honing my iPhone photography skills.<\/p>\n

\"iPhone
Same composition and texture as in the first photograph, but\u00a0with\u00a0a different set of birds\u00a0from\u00a0the DistressedFX app.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

On that day, I had a meeting\u00a0in Portobello, and not surprisingly I was early. The light was good so\u00a0I decided to stroll down to the beach to\u00a0take some iPhone photographs.<\/p>\n

\"iPhone
This time, I left the originals colours more or less untouched and tried a different DistressedFX texture for a more somber mood.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I do like to add textures to my photographs, and one of my favourite apps is DistressedFX. With this app, not only can you easily overlay a wide variety of textures on your photographs, but you can also add a flock of birds.<\/p>\n

\"iPhone
Now for a different composition, excluding the sand beach from the picture.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I really recommend the DistressedFX app, but \u00a0I do \u00a0offer you this word of caution: it is very addictive!<\/p>\n

\"iPhone
Yet a different flock of birds for this last picture.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
