Catching Up

A big catch-up post today! Didn’t have a chance to post anything last week, busy fitting in work for the short week with the holiday this past Monday.

All of the following were taken with the iPhone 4, except where noted (all iphoto photography is processed with apps on the iPhone 4).

Rebecca with her outfit she created at The Sewing Studio camp she attended in August, and trying out makeup for a trip to FanExpo (she ended up going much lighter on the makeup, but we sure attracted stares from drivers on Avenue Road!). Left hand column images were taken with the iPhone 4, the rest were taken with the Canon 1DMkIV and the Canon 85mm f/1.2L lens. (See “My Camera Equipment” in footer section for links/more information on camera equipment used.)

Out and about with the kids, at a restaurant, downtown, local ice cream shop, at my mother’s for dinner (where Rebecca brought a friend, Noah is enjoying playing with his iPod Touch):

Have to include some shots of Alice! All but two were taken with the iPhone 4, otherwise the Canon 1DMkIV and the Canon 24-70mm f/2.8L lens:

Last batch is just a bunch of random shots from the iPhone 4:

Alice, the Birthday Girl!

It’s Alice’s 1st Birthday today, how appropriate that’s she’s a Leo! Alice is a very much loved member of our family, just as much as the first day she arrived at her new home last October (my how she’s grown!).

Here are a few images to commemorate the occasion.

Alice

She received a toy rat as a birthday present:

A few from the home office, first two shot & processed on the iPhone 4:

(Except where noted, images of Alice were captured with the Canon 1D MkIV and the Canon 24-70 f2.8L lens. See “My Camera Equipment” in footer section for links/more information on camera equipment used.)

Before I captured the raccoon’s outside Rebecca’s bedroom window (see the previous blog posting), Noah spied one of them in a tree, so captured these shots from our back deck:

Alice the Cat & Baby Robin Update: Toronto Photographer

I haven’t posted images of Alice lately, so thought it was time for some new ones, and to mix it up, quite a few are shot and processed on the Apple iPhone.

Really love this one, she is at the front window watching life go by:

Shot & Processed on the iPhone

(shot & processed on the iPhone)

The camera in the iPhone 3G isn’t fabulous, so I use iPhone apps to give the images a vintage ‘toy camera’ look:

(shot & processed on the iPhone)

My new faves for the iPhone are BlurFX and PictureShow. Blurring the background of the iPhone photos helps to bring the focus to the subject and smooth out/de-clutter the “everything in focus” aspect of the iPhone camera. PictureShow is great as there are SO many options from different effects, frames, light leaking, and noise, the only downside is it can take a while to decide on your fave look for the image!

This is a goofy photo of Alice, who was hanging out with me in my office, when she heard my daughter coming. She sat up straight and got this crazy wide-eyed look on her face, Rebecca and I laughed!

Alice in my office

She was still keeping an eye on Rebecca, before she settled down on my Apple Airport to snooze. The last image was a shot I captured of her snoozing on my daughter’s shoes?, you can see the iPhone version above, cats sleep in the strangest places! lolAlice-office-college.jpg

Well, from my previous post on the Robin’s nest in front of our house, you know there used to be two babies, but the smaller one disappeared. 🙁 None of the  other eggs ever hatched, so this little guy grew very fast! The following were shot with the Hipstamatic app on the iPhone, the little guy in his nest, and then all grown up out of the nest:

Shot with the Canon 1DMkIV with the 70-200mm f2.8L and the Canon 100mm f2.8 macro, we see the father keeping watch, below that the mother on the nest, the baby on the nest and then out of the nest:

Last shot of the baby Robin as he heads out into the world, shot and processed on the iPhone:
