While searching for images on Instagram that were tagged with #slowshutter, the awesome long exposure app that John Curley posted about last week, I came across these fantastic lightning photographs from Isaac Larson (@isaaclarson on the Instagramhole).
After pestering him to let us post the images, he sent us the nice big original photos along with some info on how how he used SlowShutter:

I found myself near the 24th street BART station with 45 minutes to killl, so I wandered down Osage St. to check out the tags and street art. I never noticed them before, but the sidewalks of this alley are completely covered with stencils of Lou Reed. I used the Everyday photo app, which was created to take consistently positioned self portraits, to photograph all 32 of these stencils. Having a ton of photos with almost identical similar images ended up being perfect fodder for some appsperiments.

We went back to the beach for today’s shot, in our case the familiar and foggy San Mateo coast.
One of our favorite things about the iPhone is the ability to take long exposure pictures in the daytime. No neutral density filters necessary, either. It’s amazing, really.

When I started my The Daily App Experiment project on December 1st of 2010, I didn’t really have any plans for how long I’d be doing it, or what I was going to do with them images once they were finished. My only goal was to try and create as many different “appsperiments”, images created by using mobile cameras and apps in nontraditional ways, as possible. This usually means mixing and combining apps, or sometimes even running one image through the same app over and over again. I’m now 186 days into the project and I’m still having fun with it. What’s really awesome is that quite a few Instagrammers have also joined in on the fun, with nearly 1,800 images tagged with #appsperiment.
When posting appsperiments to Instagram I try to roughly describe my process for each image, but now that we have this awesome mobile photography blog (complete with it’s own appsperiment button) I’d like to try to write more in depth descriptions of some of my favorite appsperiments.
Daily App Experiment #177 was created with Camera+, WordFoto, and Juxtaposer. My goal was to have a readable sentence run across the photo, but if I just added the words in the sentence, WordFoto would scramble them up randomly. So I had to get a bit creative…
