iPhone Photography: My New iPhone 4

Filed under: Alice the Cat,iPhone,Life — Tags: cat, iPhone, pet, photography, Toronto — Holly @ 10:15 am

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. 😉

Living With a Cat: Alice Update

Filed under: Alice the Cat,Family Pet Photography,Lensbaby — Tags: Canon, cat, Lensbaby, lenses, photography, Toronto, Toronto Pet Photography — Holly @ 12:01 pm

I never know where I’m going to find Alice, as she does find the strangest places (in my mind!) to lounge, as I’m sure all cats do, but I was still surprised to find her latest spot in the kitchen:

(Equipment Used: Canon EOS-1D MarkIV and Canon 85 f1.2L lens)

A few more Lensbaby shots, as it’s such a fun lens to shoot with:

Alice Update: Toronto Cat Photography

Filed under: Alice the Cat,Family Pet Photography — Tags: cat, family pet photography, photography, Toronto, Toronto Pet Photography — Holly @ 2:23 pm

Haven’t updated the blog with photos of Alice lately, so here’s a bit of a catch-up. 🙂

(Equipment Used: Canon EOS-1D MarkIV and the Canon 85 f1.2L lens.)

I was lucky to be one of the winner’s of Patti Brown’s new Supernatural Texture set, so thought I would put it to use in this blog posting. I applied a few different texture’s from Patti’s set, as well as a frame (from another source):

More textures!

Alice discovered a new spot to hang out, on a shelf (built overtop of the rad), in the bathroom:

Friendly Neighbourhood Cats: Toronto Cat Photography

Filed under: Animals,Family Pet Photography — Tags: Canon, cat, lenses, pet, pet photography, photo, photographer, Toronto — Holly @ 10:26 am

I was out and about last night, enjoying the beautiful spring weather in Toronto, when I met some very friendly neighbourhood cats.

(Equipment Used: All images were shot with the Canon EOS-1D MarkIV and the Canon 100 mm f2.8 macro lens, except where noted.)

Funnily enough there was a question about how to photograph black cats in the comments to my Q & A on moderncat.net yesterday, and then I met this beautiful cat (LOVE the eyes!):

He (she?) was difficult to photograph because he was so friendly! As soon as I’d get down on the ground to take the photograph, he was right there, nuzzling me, purring, even kneading the ground, so cute!

Then I went one street over and met these two beautiful cats (this one was shot with the Canon 85 f1.2L lens):

I think I’ll have to go back and visit again! 🙂

Moderncat.net Pet Photography Q & A: Toronto Cat Photography

Filed under: Alice the Cat,Family Pet Photography — Tags: Canon, cat, family pet photography, lenses, pho, photographer, Toronto — Holly @ 11:34 am

Yes, another photo update of Alice, two days in a row! But this one is to celebrate my Pet Photography Q & A on moderncat.net. If you own a cat, you must check out this fabulous blog about all things cat related. Many thanks to Kate for profiling/interviewing me for her blog!

I couldn’t resist capturing Alice as she crammed herself into an empty space on my messy desk. She wanted to be close to me I guess! (Equipment Used: Following two images captured with the Canon EOS-1D MarkIV and the Canon 85 f1.2L lens.)

How could I resist capturing her hanging out in my daughter’s laundry basket? And with the sunlight flooding in from behind her, too perfect to pass up! And Alice couldn’t pass up the cozy bed the clean clothes offered that night either! (Following images captured with the Canon EOS-1D MarkIV and the Canon 85 f1.2L lens, expect for the full laundry basket image which was captured with the Canon 24–70 mm f2.8L lens and the Canon 580EX II Speedlite.)

It was Alice’s day to climb into things as Noah found her in the garbage can in the bathroom, silly kitty! (Following images captured with the Canon EOS-1D MarkIV, Canon 24–70 mm f2.8L lens and the Canon 580EX II Speedlite.)
