iPhoneography to the Max

Okay, photo friends, iPhone Diva is back. I went on retreat for a couple of months, but my little phone/camera has been smokin'! I got invited to join a group of extremely talented iPhone (and all camera) photographers and my creativity has gotten a real infusion. Kind of like getting a drink of water from a fire hose.

Now I'm ready to share some of that inspiration - and to share the websites and blogs of these amazing professionals who teach iPhone photo art workshops as well as normal photo workshops. And of course, there'll be amazing new apps to showcase!

A lot of my new photo pals are very versed in an app called Hipstamatic. (Brian Kavanaugh Jones has been our afficionado on iPhone Diva - check out earlier posts for some of his amazing work.) Hipstamatic has a number of optional film/lens combos that you can buy from within the app for extra versatility. And you can mix and match film choice, lens choice, and flash if you like. When I discovered that, I bought my new favorite combo called Salvador and Dreamcanvas (referring to surrealist Salvador Dali.) Here are my very first shots taken with the combo looking down from a Waikiki highrise to the lagoon below. I love the look here.

Agave Dreams

I love agave plants. And not just because some of them are responsible for tequila. I love their beauty, their form, and their succulence. And I love having them in the garden as subjects for photography and celebration. The other day I worked an iPhone photo of one plant with some of my favorite apps.

This one I believe was worked in Tiffen Cool FX app.

As was this one.
I got the texture from IRIS. If you don't have this app, drop everything right now and get it. You won't be sorry.
Then I did some color adjustments in some app, forget which one, and did the three photos in an app called Diptic - another must have.
Variation on a theme with differnt color - deeper saturation.
Finally added text and border effect in FotoMuse.

Sunset with the iPhone

Brian Kavanaugh Jones does sunset with his iPhone. Check out these two great images.




And during our last couple of photo seminars here on Molokai, we were treated to some pretty great sunset action down in the Kapuaiwa palm grove. (Taken by me, iPhone Diva. Processed with ProHDR app.

Head In The Clouds and iPhone Too

Brian Kavanaugh Jones has been traveling a lot lately. Time on airplanes, in highrise hotels and the like. He has his head in the clouds - and is capturing the view on his iPhone. The results are a cut above. Enjoy.

Summer at The Lake iPhone Style

Jon Leland shares some of his iPhone art photos from Lake Tahoe. See if you can guess the apps!

Finding the Muse in a Flower, Foto Muse That Is

Judy Norton, one of our iPhone Divas, has done it again. Here is her straight shot of a rose on the iPhone 4. It's a nice shot. But iPhone Divas can't leave it alone. So using apps FotoMuse and PicMix, she worked it.



She worked this beautiful rose, too, with equal success.
This final image is a combo: blue flowers from Hawaii, a dead crab from her beach, and rain drops on a lake. Stunning.

India by iPhone

Robin Robertis, our favorite globetrotting iPhone Diva, captured the multilayered melange that is India - in photo art on her phone! Apps included You Gotta See This, Diptic, Toonpaint, and FotoMuse. Namaste!
