iPhone in the Palouse

Capture Camera+ Processing Snapseed

I enjoyed my two weeks in the Palouse, one scouting, the other leading a tour group through the amazing land of Eastern Washington State. I must admit I had to really concentrate on getting my iPhone out to shoot as I was moving fast on my scout and often just wanted to get a shot with the big camera, but every so often the iPhone came out too! Sometimes the shot needed minimal processing and other times my vision was for heavier processing.

Hipstamatic Capture and  OGGL processing

In the end, I enjoyed using Hipstamatic as a quick default shooting app using the Jane Lens and Inas 1969 film. Sometimes I ran that captured image back into OGGL for further filtering with Hipstamatic options.

Walking through the town of Colfax one day I noticed this architectural detail and Hipstamatic was again my app of choice.
I will be reviewing how to set up and shoot with your Camera + and Hipstamatic Apps and more in my "Getting Started in iPhone Photography" workshop this Sunday August 24 at the National Gallery of Art in Washington DC.

Diptic Revisited: ClassicPan

Well its been a while since I was posting with any frequency but I am back home from three weeks on the road and sorting and processing images. While in the Palouse, I had an opportunity to shoot some old trucks. I chose to shoot pieces of the trucks as they were interesting to me. I used ClassicPan, to capture the format I eventually wanted to use in piecing these together in Diptic. The amazing colors, textures and handiwork on the old farm trucks were what attracted me. A single shot cold not demonstrate  fully the variety of interest so I felt that a Diptic arrangement would work to show the beauty in the old trucks and paint.

 The shots of the Palouse landscape below were all made while riding in the back of a vehicle out the window at 50 mph with ClassicPan. All the images were adjusted for saturation, levels and sharpness in Iris.They were framed in an app called Crop'n'Frame. Will be posting more from the trip, as I get them processed and time allows.
