iPhone HDR

iPhone Tip 101:

In the workshop last weekend we talked about differences between ProHDR and TrueHDR. On Sunday morning I made these photographs with the iPhone on a tripod. The True HDR is a bit more saturdated which gives the iamge more contrast. The Pro HDR is more neutral then Pro which makes it a bit softer. Saturation increases contrast and contrast increases saturation. Something to think about when shooting and then making adjustments in your images. The True HDR was set ot the enhanced mode to emphasize the saturation and contrast.

Stay tuned for more iPhone tips in the coming days.

Carnaby Street

'All you need is Love'.......

This image from late 2008 when I first started with the iPhone. We were out walking in London and ended up on Carnaby Street....This has always been one of my favorite early images from the early iPhone days. This was, in all likelihood, an hdr application and Photo Forge. Photo Forge was the early leader in processing applications.

I did a bit of re-processing in Filterstorm this morning....

These two images are an example of local image management to call attention to a particular part of the frame. In this case the 'LOVE' balloon on the top image was lightened, added contrast and sharpened to pop the balloon out from the buildings. Additionally the background was slightly darkened with slightly increased contrast...Quite simple and effective way to manage your image whether it be the iPhone or a more traditional camera.
