#birdsongs #cagedbird #parrot #iphoneonly I framed this iphone pic via #squareready app to accommodate for Instagram.

This parrot belongs to a friend of mine...what a personality! It is smart, observant, talented...talks, dances, sings, does tricks...

#MobileArtistry is creative edits, beautiful images, unique perspectives, stellar shots, and happy accidents. IE, stuff you won't find on the pop page.

Through this ongoing project we hope to expose people to art and artists they may not normally get to see, learn about one another's process, and encourage each other to push the limits of creativity.

Tonight's submission is from Suzanne, aka @_suz4nne_, let's hear about her process.

MANY thanks to the good folks at @mobileartistry for asking me to share an image with you here today! Here's a bit about my editing process for this one, and for some of the others in the series I'm working on with screenshots taken from video:

This "still" is indeed from a short, monochrome film I made while walking in downtown San Francisco last year. (I used the Lens+ app and my iPhone 4S to shoot.) I came across the file when I was cleaning out my roll recently, and on a whim—just began to take screenshots from different scenes. I was really drawn to what I was getting! For this image specifically, I used a screenshot that caught the "fading out" of this scene before it moved into the next one. That movement from the film function alone, pulled the subject back into the screen here and gave me lots of space to work with—a natural segue to Decim8! I wanted some color with this one, and because the base image is monochrome, I knew I needed to add that. I used #squareready to give it a thin red border. After that, into #decim8 these three urban musketeers went. The finished image is a blended one of three decim8ed edits using the "glassdagger" effect only (which I think yielded results highlighting the angles of a street scene so well). Per usual practice, I took the image into #Snapseed to bump up the contrast and colo(u)r a bit. And—voilà! @_suz4nne_

This edit will join the others in the tag #_suzanne_moving_pictures
