Here via Siberlynx’s website. We’ll be getting a kitten of our own, soon, but have been enjoying your pictures of Alice for quite some time. Please pass on some birthday wishes!

Holly SissonAugust 25, 2010 - 9:38 pm

Thank you Janice! Are you getting one of the current kittens? Or one from the next litter? What colour are you getting? I love seeing photos of all the kittens growing up, that people send in to Chloe. Kids and I all just wished Alice “Happy Birthday!” from you! 🙂

More iPhone 4 Photography!

Tuesday, August 17, 2010

This is fast beginning the summer of the iPhone 4 as I continue to enjoy using it as my simple ‘pocket camera’. With the apps available you can have some fun with the image you’ve shot and create a more artistic version of the shot.

(All of the following images were shot and processed on the iPhone 4.)

A shot of Old City Hall in downtown Toronto, taken at the same time as the images in the last blog posting, but developed with a different app:

I went back to visit the clock tower this weekend, this is a fave:

These shots were all taken the same evening (same as the one above), interesting to me all the different looks I can achieve from the same scene depending on how I processed the image:

While I was standing there, photographing the clock tower, my first photography client came by. We already have a shoot booked for later this month, but it was my first time meeting the newest member of the family, Laszlo. He was difficult to photograph with the iPhone as he moves so fast! I am looking forward to photographing him and his family later this month. Along side Lazlo I have posted some shots of Alice snoozing on my Apple Air Port/Time Capsule. She loves the heat it gives off, crazy kitty! lol

Speaking of animals, Rebecca came downstairs the other day to usher me upstairs to see these visitors right outside her bedroom window. So glad I had my iPhone to grab a few quick shots, as they didn’t hang around for long before departing to the roof:

And last, but not least, a few more random shots from the week:

Hi Holly,
Loving your iP4 pics.
Inspired me to pick up the apps you mentioned in another post.
Hope mine look as good. 🙂
A couple of things about your “friends” though.
Make sure your garbage is inaccessible to them, of course, but you mentioned they continued ip to your roof.
Please check and make sure they haven’t made a home in your attic/crawlspace. You won’t be too pleased with their presence if that’s the situation. It becomes nasty and expensive to remove them I’d that’s the case.

Again, love the iP4 pics.

Sincerely,
ian

Hi Ian,

Thank you! There are lots of great apps to use. Photography on the iPhone 4 is so much fun. 🙂

Yes, I have mentioned to the property managers (we rent) about the raccoons, but they haven’t really reacted. They may be living the empty house next door…I will follow up again.

Holly! What a neat site, and what cool images! You have a great eye Holly. Love the kitties! The series with the clock tower is just so cool — I love all of them — but the very top one in red is fabulous (a great BW version is in that one too). Keep that shooting up (seasonally, etc. — ought to make for quite a nifty artistic project). My other photo site is down for now while I re-organize, but I have some iPhone pics here and there. Thanks for commenting on my iPhoneart images!

Great to find you Holly!

Best,

N

Thank you Nacho! The clock tower is actually part of an old train station, which has now been restored and convertedto a liquor/wine store. It’s not far from my house, and that’s a good idea about making it an art project! Very busy time of year, right now, with the holidays approaching (doubling up of production work so everyone can take time off over xmas/new years, holiday baking, shopping, etc.) Hope that when we get some nice big flakes of snow I’ll have time to pop over and see what I can capture…time has been lacking for processing iPhone photography as well…hopefully over the holidays! 🙂 Let me know when your website is back up!

A Week of iPhone Photography: Toronto Photographer

Tuesday, August 10, 2010

You can see by the number of photos below that I have been greatly enjoying my new iPhone 4 with its much improved camera! All of the images posted below were shot with the iPhone 4 and processed with apps on the iPhone as well.

Shot at the park in Yorkville:

Had just dropped my son off at ROM camp, morning light was shining west across Bloor Street:

Loving the sun flare that the iPhone produces, though it has been enhanced somewhat in this image:

Think I will have to make another evening trip to this location for some more shots, loving the nighttime lights:

At my mother’s for dinner I captured this shot of Milo:

Downtown on Queen Street West with the kids, caught this shot:

Subway tracks:

Yeah! So happy to have finally lucked out on some cool converse shoes for Rebecca! We tried twice to order online from Getoutside Shoes, both times the size we needed was not available. Then we saw the Dr. Suess Converse shoes, and knew we had to wait for them. Stalked the store on facebook to watch for word that they had arrived, called and had Rebecca’s size set aside for us, whoa! Cool shoes! Noah ended up snagging a pair as well!

More shots out & about in the city:

Caught Noah on my bed with his laptop, only illuminated by the screen. Alice was illuminated by two laptop screens. Then some shots from downtown, out & about, and our ‘hood:

Awesome shots! What apps are you using?

Thank you! I use PhotoFX, PictureShow and Hipstamatic, for the most part. HTH!

iPhone Photography: My New iPhone 4

Tuesday, August 3, 2010

I stood in line last Friday at the Apple store in the Eaton Centre to upgrade to the new iPhone 4, what a HUGE difference from my 3G! It is an amazing phone, and, no, I am not seeing any “antennagate” issues. 🙂

This is one of the last photos I took with my old 3G, processed with a newly acquired photography app:

I created a custom Gelaskin for my new iPhone 4, love that the company is located right here in Toronto!

Here are a few shots from the new iPhone 4, processed with apps on the iPhone. The new camera is so much more responsive, I was actually able to capture my son as he jumped! But it’s almost too sharp for the photography I like to create with the iPhone, so takes a bit more time in iPhone apps to create a more artistic look. 😉
