Whoops

Saturn 6, Coney Island

 When I left to drive to Carmel, Indiana the other day I inadvertently left my iPad and iPhone hard drive at home....this makes today's post a 'best of' - or in other words the best of what I have with me....a few images from Coney Island.....

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.

Carnival

Carnival 2, Bath, Maine

'Memories they can't be boughten
They can't be won at carnivals for free
Well it took me years
To get these souvenirs
And I don;t know how they slipped away from me'.....John Prine

Technique

Church of Ireland -New Technique - iPhone4

Technique: The way in which the fundamentals, as of an artistic work, are handled.

As you learn new image management techniques, go back into the archives and re-process older images. While I do this on a regular basis (both big boy camera and iPhone images) the re-processing of older images is worth the time and effort, not to mention a worthwhile learning experience. Even the most subtle change, as in the image posted today, can be significant. . I would advise giving this exercise some time in your daily work-flow - even if just one image a week...

The image today was simply given a new sharpening and contrast technique I picked up over the past few weeks...subtle as mentioned but works for me....

 Did I mention that an iPhone or iPad is the perfect tool  - Filterstorm works well for this type of exercise.
