What a great image. You have a wonderful vision to be able to imagine how you wanted the image to look and then to execute it.
Thank you both

A great piece of lighting Jeffrey. I really like how Radical Compassion stands out on the bookshelf.
Thanks Jill. My friend bought that stained glass, in the back, at an auction many years back not knowing what it would be as it was caked in grime. When they cleaned it off they were pleasantly surprised. I too was happy to see the title of that book in the imageA great piece of lighting Jeffrey.

Fabulous. You carry on “messing around”.
I love all your photos. I'm intrigued by your use of a variety of camera apps. Do you use specific apps for specific kinds of shots? Are you just "playing around"with different apps to see what their strengths and weaknesses are? Are there big differences between the apps?
Thank you! I like and use Camera+2 primarily for the Macro setting, which I leave it set to. It does a pretty good job when I don’t have add-on lenses. The quality of this app is exceptional and everything is fairly easy to find. CameraPixels has good and simple bracketing, focus stacking and time lapse. The image quality is also excellent. I recently requested its sister app, Chromatica, to add the ability to store copyright info as I had a couple of images purloined on Facebook and Instagram lately. Evidently other people asked too so it is in there as of the latest update.
Halide is a fairly good app. I use it every now and then for the depth map it produces when trying Portrait type images. Their other app, Spectre, is interesting. They say it's a computational camera app. Aren't they all on a mobile platform? One can produce some nice images though.
I was invited to try out Obscura2. The interface is quite friendly with plenty of adjustments. The quality of images is what one would expect too, and it’s not too difficult to learn.
I have my very specific apps for different things: iLightningCam for lightning, SlowShutter for water, plants, people, and generally making things look weird, Hipstamatic, cos it's Hipsta, VividHDR because it’s easy and produces images that don't look like cartoons.
I’m trying to stick with well thought out camera apps that are developed and updated with the user in mind, and provide consistently good output.
But I do like to play. Some cool camera apps are Bluristic which seems to get the better of me, SWRLY, which is just plain fun, PortraitCam which is cool for, well, portraits, Hyperspectiv which is trippy, and Fluxu which is, let's say, interesting.
Wow. That's a lot...

After reading it it comes across as long-winded. I guess I’m just looking for that app that does everything with minimal touches.

Given the camera apps you've tried, apparently you're still looking.
I believe I’m settling on Camera+2 does pretty much everything in one place: even with some editing features in-app
I use Camera +. Is there a lot of added benefit to the upgrade to +2?
I believe this says it better than I can
Camera Plus 2 comes with overhauled UI and new features
The popular Camera+ app for iOS has received a complete overhaul. Version 2 now offers a depth mode, dual-cam support and a completely new interface.

Oh my, that’s fabulous. Love it.
I’m still on the hunt too. I finally purchased PureShot which I have resisted for sometime because it’s seldom updated. Brian sings it’s praises. Well, I was pleasantly surprised at how good it was in auto mode - the quality is excellent. I love the big orange button. The only thing I don’t like is that it doesn’t seem to have the x2 button for zoom and when you zoom in hastily with two fingers you don’t always know how much you have zoomed without checking on the screen. I find some of the manual modes a bit tricky. When you switch to a manual mode, it doesn’t keep the settings that it had in auto mode that you can then just adjust. The settings change completely so you have to start from scratch. Strangely enough I can see myself using this just for auto!
Camera+2 is still very much on my radar but there are lots of options and sometimes I get stuck in some sort of mode and end up quickly going to the native camera to get the shot I wanted. I think it’s a case of sticking with it so that getting a setting becomes second nature.

I know this is not a Day-To-day app but it is pretty cool...

AWE-SOME-SAUCE.
Here's some back story. The weekend before last Dawn bought a truckload of flowers and processed them after she was invited to participate in The Big Fake Wedding on Tuesday in Atlanta. Monday night our A/C died. I had purchased a portable unit some time back to place in our guest bathroom for flower storage: they like to be between 44 and 50F. I bought a CoolBot thermostat which takes domestic units to places they normally never go
I had the idea of piping the hot air into the exhaust from the bathroom so that we could, if necessary, run the fan to remove even more hot air. Good intentions
As it turned out the exhaust from the fan is not going to the outside at all, but into the space between the studs. I noticed that the wall was getting hot around the intake and also down by the floor. Fortunately we are able to keep the temperature around 60F overnight. The event was a huge success and Dawn has three enquiries to process
So. Taking down the pipe to the vent I came up with this idea. I placed the exhaust pipe on the kitchen counter as the light was pretty good. Opened up the tube so that I could get my arm in there to place the creature. Placed two LumeCubes: one with a white diffuser and one with a yellow, so that I got the light drop out from the head and arm. I the processed the image in Rays to extend the, eh, rays, cropped in Snapseed and viola!
