Happy Birthday to my daughter, Tiffany. She has made me a proud Dad and a prouder PoppaZ (what my granddaughters call me and name of my other blog). But I digress. I was swamped with my commercial and architectural work and feeling over burdened. Then, while in Seattle for a shoot had an epiphany…… Pull out the iPhone. All at once my world calmed down. When I shoot with my iPhone I’m not working or shooting for acceptance from anyone else. It helps remind me of why I love what I do. It’s fun, creative and I make a living at it.
Again, I digress from the topic at hand. I have some of my best iPhone memories when I use the Hipstamatic app. But, it’s very inconsistent. Even with the same lens and “film” combination it’s hard to get a fresh capture that is what you want. So, I’m now looking for a good companion app. I’ve used the Abobe App PS Express, TiltShiftGen, and 100 Cameras but they all leave me a little empty. Then I tried an old app I had on my phone but hadn’t used, Snapseed. Very Nice. A lot of options and a workflow similar to other Nik Software. Try it, I think you’ll like it. In the meantime if you have any good photo apps let me know.
Techy stuff: shot with my iPhone 4 (waiting for the 5) and all images were processed in Snapseed.
