I’ve been playing with an app to make cinemagraphs. Moving pictures! Who would have thought it! And all right there from my phone! The one that’s a supercomputer! In my pocket! Who would have thought it!
The app is called Pixaloop and it was free. You can purchase upgrades, but all the basics that you receive do a nice job. I’m still learning from some of the finer points of those basics, and while it is basic, it does what you’d want it to do, once you get a sense of what will visually work.
Playing with @PixaloopApp a new-to-me app. What do you think? pic.twitter.com/PxhngwgJaG

Several years ago in Homer, Alaska, we hiked a prepared trail to see the Grewingk Glacier. It's named for Constantin Grewingk, a German scientist, famed for early explorations of Alaska. This is the outwash plain of the glacier and the gravel beach of Glacier Lake. @PixaloopApp pic.twitter.com/AwxooJDDJC

Thinking of the day @LaurnSmith and I snorkeled beneath the Pitons, a World Heritage Site, on St. Lucia. Meet the volcanic spires! Gros Piton is 2,618 feet, Petit Piton checks in at 2,438 feet. The water has 168 species of finfish, 60 species of cnidaria, 14 sponges and more. pic.twitter.com/ketiITsvUb
