[Shahrie] An iPhoto A Day 2011

[Shahrie]

Hi all! Not sure whether I'm too late for this but I suddenly feel the urge to start a project to improve my photography. Well, since I've been taking photos with my iPhone 4 everyday, might as well I share what I took. I love street photography and hopefully using an iPhone everyday will help improve my compositions and perspectives.

Why iPhone?
Ohhh. I do have a decent DSLR and film camera. I use my dslr for event photography(earn a bit of extra pocket money) and its too big to lug around. Now, I bring along a film rangefinder camera wherever I go. I don't have a film scanner yet and film is expensive so I only use the camera occasionally. So most of the time now, I end up taking photos with my iPhone.

All photos are post-processed on my iphone using Photoforge2, ADOBE PS Express and Instagram. I seldom crop. Only 'straighten' the horizon most of the time.

So much for the intro, I think I'll start posting now ....



Note: I'll back date a few of the photos to the beginning of this month, June 2011 and continue from then on. ;p Hope that's allowed here.

I was taking photographs of passerby's shadow when this little girl came dancing and spinning in my frame! She's joyful.​

[Grey Pipes]

I decided to do a b&w for this because it got more 'feel' and texture to it.​

Hey hi! Thanks for the warm welcome. Actually, I just replaced my BB Bold with the iPhone. Hehe. Not the best of pixels but the apps are good! I just love seeing the pictures on the phone.

Captured this while driving (again). Lucky shot. The car was not blocking and the 'Leica' sign was in focus. One shot. Lucky. ​

[Waiting in the Shadows]

Shot this in the morning at about 9am plus. I like it because her shadows merged with the shadows in the station.​

[Sun Drain]

On my way for a photoshoot. Stop by a 'longkang' and realised there's contrasting colors. Took a shot and walk on.​

 

[Shahrie]

After a long break. Haiz. I can't keep up this 'a photo a day'. Maybe I should change the title. :bsmilie: Anyway, I've lost track which day this is.
