Using Blackberry's Flash!

So I had a friend use his Blackberry phone flash on this subject as I shot it with my iphone. The iphone (sadly) doesn't have flash but that didnt stop me from getting the light I wanted!
This was without the Blackberry flash - Just straight iphone with candlelight only

Palm Trees: Part 2

As with the Palm Trees: Part 1, these are 2 different edits of the same photo.

This one i put into CameraBag and used the 1962 effect. i used this one instead of the mono, i used this one because i wanted the shadows to be more defined.

I used CameraBag for this one too. I used 1974 for this one and it added this pretty sepia tone.

Palm Trees: Part 1

This one i put the original photo into CameraBag and used the Lolo effect.

This one I used the original photo and put it into CameraBag and used the Helga effect.

My Daughter

This one is so simple to get such an authentic effect. She was doing a photoshoot as a 40's house wife. The shoot was shot on film and as a mother, i couldnt wait that long for film to develop. so i pulled her asside and had to take some myself.

The lights were from a set i was working on, along with the backdrop. I took the picture and put it into CameraBag on the Helga effect and thats all. :)

I sharpened this one in Photogene, then stuck it into CameraBag with the Helga effect.

Christmas Tree

before editing

after editing

To get the lines, i had my christmas tree's lights on and simply moved my iPhone down a but. the lines follow my movement.

after i took it i put it into Photogene and popped the saturation to get more green out of it. then since it wasn't green enough for my liking i added a bit more green in the sliders. then added a little brightness and contrast, and voila! :)

To start it off...

I am starting off this blog by posting pictures that I've taken on my iPhone and only on my iPhone. I occasionally edit them on my iPhone too. The photo you see can solely be achieved on your iPhone.

So, the only 2 iPhone apps i use are CameraBag and Photogene. CameraBag gives effects such as:

• Helga- which is the same thing as Holga but they legally cant use the name holga because its the brand of camera
• Lolo- once again its the same thing as lomo or Lomography but the cant use the brand name.
• Magazine- Which gives it lost of brown tones and contrast
• Instant- Which is a Polaroid style effect
• Mono- is a simple black and white effect
• 1962- This is another black and white effect with a much more severe amount of contrast.
• 1974- This has a similar effect to a polaroid. it gives it a more faded effect but with more sepia tones within it.
• Cinema- it crops the photo and adds a matte box.
• Infared- look it up yourself :)
• Last but not least, Fisheye- It's a style of lens that ads a rounded effect to the whole picture.

Now on with the Photogene. it gives you the basic tools such as crop, sharpen, brighten etc. this is a good place to start before you move into CameraBag.

So thats the basic overlook of the tools ill be using. hope its not too confusing and i hope you will join me and try this out with me. :)
