Embarcedero Center in San Francisco is full of interesting lines and geometric patterns. Every time I walk through the buildings I find something new to shoot, or a new way to shoot a familiar area.
This image was made with Hipstamatic using the excellent Olloclip fisheye lens.
Captured on Market Street near Church.
Jeremy Brooks posted this earthy picture on our Objective Scenes flickr group. I love how he’s taking advantage of the extreme closeup to blow out the focus on the background.

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+.

Diptic is a flexible way to assemble several photos into a single image. It has a lot of layouts, and it will output a high resolution image.
One thing I like to use Diptic for is to show alternate views of a single place, event, or concept. In this case, I was shooting the Embarcadero Center in San Francisco with Hipstamatic. The tile pattern and the sculpture are iconic and recognizable to anybody who has spent much time there. The escalator and the seated person were also in the area, but are not as immediately recognizable. By using Diptic to assemble all the images together, they all become part of the story and the viewer is helped to see the images as four parts of the same place.
I also use Diptic in conjunction with some other apps to make surreal images with interesting patterns. I’ll post about that later in the week.

Hipstamatic is one of my favorite iPhone photo apps. It took me a while to get into it, since there are so many combinations of lenses and films to play with. I’ve settled on a few that I like, and mostly stick with those now.
Hipstamatic has one major drawback. It only takes input from the camera. You cannot take a photo with another app and then process it with Hipstamatic.
This image was made with the John S lens and Claunch film.

Wednesday night was my first pro-iPhone photography gig. Actually… I suppose it was my first pro photo-gig of any kind (not counting video). I was hired by the folks at Postagram to take iPhone portraits at the annual First Round Capital party in SF. These photos would later be sent out as Postagrams to all of the attendees… which is totally awesome, right?! Right?!
