iPhone Gallery
April, 10th 2010 at 9:44 pm
The idea behind creating this gallery is to showcase photos taken with the iPhone. It’s a gallery of all sorts, crazy on photo effects and Apple Aperture 3 photo presets.
See the photo descriptons for more detail of how the photos were processed.
View the iPhone photo Gallery. Keep checking the gallery, as it will be updated on a regular basis.

These cloud formations caught my eye just as the sun was setting. The photos were all taken on the same day in the space of an hour or so. I used the Singh-Ray Neutral polariser just to make those clouds pop and help them define a bit more.

Paragliders

Yesterday I went out with the intention of photographing landscapes but came across a bunch of paragliders. The light was not at all that exciting anyway, so I decided to photograph them instead.
There is something very calming about watching these guys gliding in the wind…
All photos where taken with the Nikon D2X, 70-200mm f/2.8G ED-IF AF-S VR Nikkor, ISO 100 and the Singh-Ray LB Neutral polarizer.
Used a few very cool apps on the iPhone to help plan this trip:
Outdoors- GB National Parks OS Maps 1:50K: Ordnance survey maps on iPhone… Very cool indeed.
Marine- UK Holland: very nice for checking out the tides.
Maps: The bundled Maps app on the iphone is very useful in satellite view when checking the surrounding area.
The story of this trip goes something like this… 346 km, 46 photos taken, messing around with the re-designed import photos feature in Aperture 3, 22 photos accidentally deleted, in the company of Johnnie Walker Black label (which I can only blame for this accident…).
I’m over it anyway…Another grey rainy day in London… Yupieeee!!!…
Walk in the snow

Snow, snow, snow and more snow to come… Love it… They are calling it the big freeze, but isn’t this what winter is suppose to be about?…
Both of these photos were taken at Kenwood House grounds, in Hampstead. I can actually see this scene on a frosty clear day with some nice blue skies in the background…Fingers crossed…
Autumn…

These photos were taken on my second visit to the Isabella plantation. It was an early morning for me…The day actually started overcast with a bit of mist and my intention was to do a few close ups.
But when I actually got there, and with the day brightening up, my attention turned to the threes. There was a thin layer of fog in the air that combined with the light made for some really special light. I used a 3-stop soft-step filter to deal with the bright top of the frame.
The exposure on this second photo was a bit tricky. I had to use both a 1-stop and 3-stop soft-step filter hand-held in a slanted position, to deal with the bright top hand side of the frame. The thin layer of fog also helped to keep that wild sun under control, slightly diffusing the light.
The final photo required just a little bit of waiting for the sun to bathe the tree trunks with a bit of light, just enough to spark the scene a bit more.
