A Week of iPhone Photography: Toronto Photographer

Filed under: iPhone,Life — Tags: , , — Holly @ 11:53 am

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:

iPhone Photography: My New iPhone 4

Filed under: Alice the Cat,iPhone,Life — Tags: , , , , — 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. 😉

Return of the Baby Robins

Filed under: iPhone,Life,The Natural World — Tags: , , , — Holly @ 10:32 am

I don’t know if this is the same mama Robin from two years ago, but I was really hoping she had learned that Avenue Road is not an ideal location for a nest. Given that there are five eggs, I fear there may be a repeat of the sad “survival of the fittest” situation. 🙁

First there was one, then two, three more eggs to possibly hatch:

Utah Photography Workshop: Toronto Family Photographer

Last week I attended an amazing workshop with Nichole Van, and I am missing the beautiful weather in Utah, a nice DRY heat rather then what we are currently experiencing in Toronto.

Here are some images I captured during the workshop. The first series is with models she organized for us at her home outdoor studio (her backyard):

The next day we moved to an off-site location. This image was shot with off-camera light that Nichole set up:

The rest of the images, from that shoot, were natural light:

On the way back to the hotel, one night, we stopped to photograph some beautiful horses, and the landscape:

Utah iPhone Photography

Filed under: iPhone,Life,Out & About,The Natural World — Tags: , , — Holly @ 12:07 pm

I traveled down to Utah last week for a photography workshop (more to come from that!), and used my iPhone camera/app to shoot and process the following shots. For me great photography apps on the iPhone make all the difference, it’s such an easy camera to pull out and have fun with!

Shots from the plane on my connecting flight to Chicago:

Shots from the plane much closer to Utah:

A few at the photo shoots in Utah (more to come from my Canon equipment):

Chicago to Toronto, note the Toronto skyline in the last two images:

(All images shot and processed on the iPhone, some of the black and white images were slightly tweaked (increased the black) in Adobe Lightroom.)
