Can you have too much miniature fruit? Nope! I decided to make my fruit and veggie pics as useful as possible and that meant good pictures (I hope) of the vast majority of the fruit and veggies I know about well labeled. I may have gone overboard, but it was so fun finding new (to me) items and collecting and expanding until I couldn't find any more. :D
The vast majority of my Fruits and Veggies are made by Re-ment. If the label doesn't have a brand listed, please assume it's Re-ment (because I am too lazy to write Re-ment 403 times for all these pictures). Other brands include Mimo, Orcara and Megahouse as well as a handful of misc brands and sources.
All of these items come from many different collections and I can't possibly list them all, but I'll list a few places to find things.
~~Re-ment's official website:
www.re-ment.co.jp/products/index.html
~~Re-ment and Megahouse: Renatta has wonderful pictures on her Re-ment Checklist site.
~~Mimo: Mimo erased most of their pictures from their website a few years ago, but I managed to copy many and have them in a Mimo Set here on Flickr.

As always, a photo each day for 365 days. All shot and edited using Apps on my iPhone 5.
The photo was taken using the camera App 645 PRO Mk II for iPhone, saved as a TIFF file before any editing. The original image can be found below.
First of all I used Snapseed to edit the image. This was done by adjusting and boosting the Ambiance, Contrast and Saturation. I then used ShockMyPic to make the image a little more painterly. Next I used the app Alien Sky to some extra effects to the image. This was done by applying the Top Gradient filter to darken the Sky, then adding the Super Moon and Flare to the picture. Finally I used Laminar to apply the Polarizer FX Style and add the Snap Stack frame.
I thought I would have a little fun with the editing of the image today. The original photo was taken on the Glass Bridge near to the Coventry Transport Museum. I was standing about half way along the straight part of it above Lady Herbert's Garden, looking towards the City Centre. With the view of the bridge stretching out in front of me as if to infinity.
Houdini and i have bonded big time...I think I'm in love. Took this using the new Flickr iPhone app... Gotta say, it's really fun!

I'm really in love with the Vignette app for Android, but I always have trouble keeping up with the number of filters and effects that it enables, so I made myself a cheat sheet.
(See my quick blog writeup for more information, including the complete list of effects.)
A few months after posting, this is the most-viewed thing I've ever posted to flickr. Huh. I'm glad so many people find it useful!
The last few weeks I have been experimenting with some new (for me) digital painting apps as well as some older ones.
I took this image of a shrubbery with some dark blue berries with an iPhone 4 and Olloclip Macro Lens.
On the iPad I used some apps that are really meant for the iPhone, but have downloaded them to the iPad. This will often force you to work in portrait mode but I don't usually find that to be a prob.
As usual there are a bunch of layers with different blend modes and opacity setting applied.
Apps used for this image were Auto Painter, PhotoViva, Artomaton, Line Brush and Corel Paint it! Now.
Paint it! and Artomaton, are fully automatic with no controls, like the various Auto Painters, they seem like promising tools for painterly textured layering, but have limited mark style options.
Line Brush is more like Repix like in that you choose your paint style and make your own marks. You can paint free style or over a photo. There are different brushes for each.
The problem with Line Brush is it is crazy buggy on both the phone and the iPad. Half of the photo painting brushes can not be accessed and images seem to come into the app in random orientation, even when working in portrait mode. I do hope the developer keeps at this app. I am sure many people would enjoy using all the nice tools it offers.
There are some drastic cuts in resolution in some of these apps too. But, since I layer them I don't really see it as a problem so much.
I just upsize them to my largest layer. In most cases it just adds to the handmade look, at least in my card sizes. I have never tried to print them large.
If I did wanted to print a large image, I would probably upscale with software made for that purpose to get the best quality possible.
Note: This image was taken Nov. 14, 2011, but the only way to rearrange the photostream was to change the date to Nov. 22, 2020. But why would I want to? Well, I was having a sleepless night (hey, not unusual), and I started looking through my favorite bird app (iBird Pro), and looked up "Scrub Jay" to see if any changes in the subspecies had happened since 2017. The answer is, yes, and what I used to call a "Scrub Jay," is now a "California Scrub Jay," and one of the five images of said jay in said app is mine! I vaguely remember being told that they would be using some of my images, and that I gave permission, but that was at least four years ago. So, if you happen to find any more of my shots in iBird Pro, email me. My 15 minutes of fame promised by Andy Warhol has 14 minutes remaining!

The Scrub Jay is one of my favorite birds even though they're not terrible cooperative and are sometimes noisy, eat other bird eggs, and harass crows which in turn harass the Scrub jays and so on ad infinitum. But they're beautiful, as blue as any bird I've seen including the Indigo Bunting and Western Bluebird, and can be almost "stately" when perched atop a post.
Their colors are as brilliant in winter as in summer.
