Editors over the hill

Posted in Personal, Photography, iphone, twitter on September 11th, 2009 by admin

Well yet again I’m iPhone app-mad and yet again wish the camera on said phone was just a bit better because the results would be excellent rather than just good.

Here’s a couple of images shot in tricky light conditions for a normal camera, let alone a phone!

The first is from the opening night at the new O2 Academy live music venue in Birmingham, with Editors giving a great show!  The shot is made up of around three images put together and then processed to give a nice B&W image.  I think the whole thing took about 5mins from snap to send via Twitter.

Walkin the iphone

The sun finally came out after a few days of rain and I needed some fresh air, so I thought a walk up the Clent Hills would do the job.

Now I’ve gone off for a walk with my camera over my shoulder before but this time I opted for the iPhone as my camera with a view to shoot process in the apps and then Twitter them out to the rest of the world.

BM&AG Pre Raphaelited & Obams

Saturday afternoon in Birmingham and having watched the excellent BBC drama “Desperate Ramantics” depicting the lives of the Pre Rapaelite brotherhood, we thought a long overdue visit to the Birmingham museum and art gallery was in order to check out the Raphs!

I think my favorite is Rossetti’s Death of Beatrice,it’s a fantastic moment in time.

Now we had left it all a bit late getting into town so just managed a quick swish around photographer Nadav Kanders “Obamas People”, a collection of portraits depicting the members of Barack Obama’s White house staff. It’s a great piece of work and well worth a look as it tours around, but I’m pleased to say that Birmingham got it first!

Up on the roof

Well I was in Birmingham today to treat myself to a couple of CD’s and parked on the roof of the car park just next to the bull ring when the sun came out, and so I found myself lingering around on the top floor snapping on the iPhone.

I quite like the results! Although the hanging around a carpark I’m sure should be course for concern at my age? I might have to get a skate board to blend in with the youth if I shoot any more…….!
