I think it’s time to issue a challenge: Who can get us a picture of the original Monet’s Garden (you know, the one in France) using the ‘Impressionist Lens’ feature on our app?
Let’s use the hashtag #NYBGiverny. And if you manage this cross-continental feat, tweet us, post to our Facebook wall, tag us in Instagram, or photo reply to this post!
If we get more than one picture, we’ll throw together a post on our blog, and maybe if we get enough entries we’ll put together some kind of prize or something. I have no idea if this is going to work, but I’m sure hoping so! ~AR

Nicely done! Very close to the Impressionist Lens feature in our new iPhone app!

Last week, I stopped by the NY Botanical Gardens in the Bronx to check out their Monet Garden exhibit. I thought I would start off my photo set with an attempt at some paint style filtering in Photoshop. I started off with Artistic -> Pallete Knife, then used Pixelate -> Pointilize and finally Brush Strokes -> Spatter. After that, I brought the saturation up a bit.

Two of our favorite things combined: The Peggy Rockefeller Rose Garden at peak bloom, and the Impressionist Lens feature in our NYBG in Bloom app!
How’d we get that pic? We sent our digital media specialists 40-feet into the air in one of our bucket trucks! We’ll do anything for a great shot! ~AR
