My New Joy In iPhone Photography

DateMonday, October 26, 2009

Aidan iPhoning

I've been getting into taking photographs with my iPhone, because with the help of a few apps, they can turn out far moodier than you would think possible, like this one of a fall street I took a couple of weeks ago.

Here is how I achieved the look of the above photo of the Palinode with his iPhone:

  • I used the Camera Genius app to take a picture of the Palinode sitting across from me in a dimly lit restaurant while his face was illuminated by his iPod screen.
  • Then, I opened the photo in CameraBag and applied the Helga effect.
  • Then, I opened the version of the photo saved with CameraBag's Helga effect in PS Mobile, turned the photo to black & white, and then applied the Vibrant effect.

    • One thing I did not expect when I purchased my iPhone is that I would use it as a second camera, but it's proved to be a welcome addition to my arsenal.

    If you have an iPhone and have gotten creative with the picture-taking end of its abilities, let me know what applications you use. My addiction needs feeding.

    I had no idea there were so many different apps. That makes me want an iPhone even MORE!

    THANK YOU THANK YOU!

    I have also been using my iPhone as a backup camera as well and the amount of times I've ended up with a crap picture are too numerous to count.

    I'm a convert.

    Thanks for posting this! I've been struggling with getting my iPhone photos to look halfway decent.

    I knew -- the minute I heard you got an iphone -- that you would end up playing with the camera apps.

    Cool. Cool. Cool.

    I love all the extra apps you can get for the iPhone. I've been thinking about getting one since I need to replace my old Razor.

    My question is - is the iPhone a good phone on top of all the cool gadgets?

    Surely, then, you've heard of Chase Jarvis?

    Kristi, I hadn't heard of him until now, but thanks for pointing him out! http://www.chasejarvis.com/index.php#mi=2&pt=1&pi=10000&s=0&p=5&a=0&at=0
