An empty bus on Muni’s 14 Limited line.

This sign has stood high above Van Ness Avenue as long as I can remember. This morning, they started tearing it down. A Nissan dealership is moving in according to the paper signs at street level.
Shot in Camera+ & processed in PictureShow. I had to use the digital zoom in order to get close, which explains the super weak pixel data in the sign lettering.
I had a fun time at yesterday’s Albany Bulb Photowalk, aka the #bulbwalk. Thought I’d share some of my fave pics from the event, all taken with my iPhone 4 and a mix of apps like Hipstamatic, SynthCam, and Camera+.

Marc Rimmer (of Canada apparently) is posting a Mobile-Photo-A-Day on his Tumblr blog. When asked about the process behind the photo above, Marc replied:
I almost exclusively use Camera+ on the iPhone 4. I originally got it for the different metering and focus points, so you can focus on a specific thing and not have the photo completely blow out or be underexposed. Soon after I picked it up I really got to love the fact that you can dial back the power/percentage on filters and a faux border is automatically applied to everything. I find other apps can be a little heavy on the filters sometimes, so the flexibility that camera+ gives you is fantastic.
“Lift Y’r Skinny Fists (Like Antennas to the Heavens)“, piece number 199 in my yearlong Daily App Experiment, captures Sutro Tower during the sunset. Although it has a very painted look, the piece was created with Camera+, Pic Smoother, and TrueHDR, with a few camera hacks along the way.

Hi again all, and let me offer my apologies right up front: A sunset picture?? On a blog about experimental iPhone work?
Yes, I’m guilty, but here’s my thinking: there MIGHT be something for you to take away from this photo, even if it has a mundane subject matter.
(Full disclosure: I am hopelessly addicted to sunset pictures, at least ones that are done passably well. When the Flickr Blog used to interview photographers, their last question always was: “Kittens, babies, sunsets or flowers?” because those were four of the most common shots on Flickr. My answer would have been sunsets, and that hasn’t changed. It’s nature’s light show, and a very cheap date. I’m also very easily amused. Ok, onward.)
I’ve posted this one to show that even with an iPhone, it’s possible to capture photos with an amazingly high dynamic range. The sun SHOULD be completely blown out here, and there should be very little color tonality in the sky because the highlights are so strong. But that’s not the case. So how did we do it?
