Everyday Beauty

May 21st, 2011

Those of you who are friends of mine on Facebook already know of this, but I wanted to share it with all of my SBDigitalArts friends. I have recently started a new photo blog called Everyday Beauty. It contains photos from my everyday life that I shoot and process with my iPhone. I originally started posting these photos on Facebook a month or so ago, but as the gallery began to grow, I decided it was time for the images to have their own site where they could be displayed in a nice fashion. Plus, I just don’t quite trust having my photos on Facebook. Some of these images have found their way onto SBDigitalArts, but you can see more on the new site.

I’ve found that having a decent camera with me all of the time, my iPhone camera, has really opened my eyes to a whole new world of photo opportunities. I’m now shooting images of things that I never dreamed of shooting before. Plus, with all of the great photo apps available on the iPhone, my creativity has really blossomed and many of my images have taken on a whole new artistic feel.

Here is a small sample of what you’ll find on Everyday Beauty.

So click on the link below to head on over a check out the new site. I try to update it everyday. I’ve also begun adding quotations to the images and, once in awhile, a little something of my own.

Kenosha Marina and Clouds

May 8th, 2011

One of the things I love most about shooting with my iPhone is it’s ability, using the right apps, to shoot HDR images. This shot of the Kenosha Marina is a good example. Though it wouldn’t have been impossible to get this result without HDR, it would have required a lot of post processing work in Photoshop. The sky and ground were very different exposures. By shooting two images, one exposed for the brights, one for the darks, and combining them with HDR, I was able to get a photo that looked very similar to what my eyes saw.

For this image I used the Pro HDR app. I also use TrueHDR at times.

Lake Michigan stretched out before me like a painting,

Kenosha Trolley

April 22nd, 2011

One of Kenosh’s colorful trolleys that run a loop through downtown and the harbor area.
I decided to play around and make this look like a post card by adding the text to it.
This was all done on my iPhone.

Just out of curiosity, last night I made an 8×8 print of this photo. It turned out very nice.  I’m so blown away by the quality of photos I’m getting from my iPhone 4 camera and the quality of the editing and filter apps that I’m using.  In the future, I’ll have to do a post about these apps.
