an ironically untouched iPhone photo
So, I'm sure there are a crap ton of people out there that are bored to death of overfiltered and overedited iPhone photos.
I. Am. Not. One. Of. Them.
Boy, I tell ya...as much as I love my big bangarang camera, my camera phone has saved my life in many a situation. Literally, and figuratively.
This one time, my car died {yes, my husband is a mechanic...go figure} in a not-so-great area of town, and if I didn't have my phone, I probably would have been raped and pillaged. Or, some nice passerby would have stopped to help. But, whatever...for the sake of drama, let's go with the former theory. M'kay?
Anywho, that derned camera phone is too accessible and functional for day to day life photography to be ignored.
Don't get me started on all those bomb diggity apps to edit, filter, embellish, and bling out your pics.
In the strong case for iPhonography, I am a more is more kind of girl. You can't add too much masking tape, or faux bokeh, or tilt shift. I get crazy-giddy just thinking about it.
Seriously, my pulse is quickening as we speak.

I feel the exact same way!!!! Thanks for sharing all the different options. I found your blog on YHL. Your kitchen is absolutely stunning. I am in love with it. My husband and I recently finished our kitchen and man... it is quite the process. So congratulations on such a beautiful kitchen!
ReplyDeleteOohh, so glad you shared this. I'm psyched to try them out. I love learning about my nice camera, but I feel like some of my favorites just end up coming from my phone anyways.-Jenny

Thanks for sharing these apps. I got a Canon 7D for Christmas last year and then upgraded to the new IPhone 4s last fall and I find that more and more of my pictures are from my phone. I am going to check out these for sure.
ReplyDeleteLove your blog!
This weekend I saw my iPhone camera through a whole new lens! (ha!) I didn't even bust out the big girl cam (I may regret that!) but I took every pic on my phone! To be honest, it was great and I am so happy with every shot (it helps that Meg's house has crazy good light) and I was able to fancy them up on the flight home - which meant I could post my recap ASAP! I already am an insta addict, but I think I just took it to a whole new level. Nikon is going on a sabbatical!
