After wandering photographically through virtual stagnant porridge I came across a book called “50 photo projects” by Lee Frost and it made me look at things differently. The projects varied a lot and some of the ideas I had seen before but had never got around to doing, things like just going out and looking for subjects of a set colour or looking for patterns. Others involved some financial layout such as investing in one of the many toy cameras out there or digging out your old film cameras. I also had a look through Chase Jarvis’s book “The Best Camera is the one that's with you” . Taking the two together I decided to use just my Iphone and any software I can use on it and spend a week using nothing but that phone. I had originally decided to post from phone too, but I upgraded OS and things have slightly changed to poo so using lappy instead . Anyway here are the images I took.
This was this sky that gave me idea just to use phone.
A pleasant evening at the pub perhaps.
A gate on my way into town .This is a place I had some ideas for an image. I will be back with “proper” camera to take some shots for that image. Watch this space.

The now peaceful ginger monster who had just spent the morning killing my bare feet. An attempt at colour popping using phone software.

Chairs
Window
I can be cute as well
I learnt a bit from these exercise its fun to just go out and shoot. Phone photos can be fun although I need practise to free my mind from convention then i may get some thing more worth while.
Now what shall the 2nd project be?
Hi Annie, I love these, I love the imagination that you have too!! I have no idea how to use an iphone, but I do use my mobile a hell of a lot now, not for any purpose other than my own pleasure but it's fun and also quite extraordinary how good these cameras can be! I can't wait for the story of the bandages and the man-eating bed btw, sounds fab! ;-) xx
ReplyDeleteGreat project and as Rebecca Said Annie - great imagination, loved your images and interpretation on them.
