I tried something different with a bunch of photos I had stored on my mac. The pics were taken with my Nikon D40 and transfered into iPhoto after my trip to NYC. I already had a “normal” set of NYC up at Flickr but as I said; I wanted to try something new. I synced the photos to my iPhone 4S and used Camera+ (currently on sale @ the App Store) instead of doing the editing in Photoshop. Mind you, the result is almost over-processed images but I still like the look Camera+ produced. I used the in app purchase option “I Love Analog” to get my hands on the filters “Diana” and “Nostalgia”. I also applied Scenes: Clarity to most of the photos, that produced kind of a HDR effect — semi-tasteful HDR mind you. 54 photos in the set at Flicker, click here to see them.

I upload straight from Hipstamatic or the Tumblr app (for the occasional video upload). It’s really easy getting totally lost in all the lenses and film that’s available in Hipstamatic, use this; The Hipstamatic Combination Chart by Mark Bruce to see what all the combinations look like. Really useful.

I use Flickr Uploadr for uploads from my Mac. It’s got a pretty basic user interface and in this case, it’s a good thing. Adding photos is just a simple drag and drop. Then there’s the option to add titles, descriptions and tags. Not much more to say really — it does what it’s supposed to and it does it well.

Now it’s time for downloads. The tool I use is called Bulkr. There’s a free and a paid version. I use the free one and have never felt the need for the paid version. If you’d like to give the pro version a go it’s just $29.99 at the moment. Instead to describing the software I’ll post a video that’ll do the talking.

Here are some photos I took during February. All of them on the iPhone. Loads of apps used in these shots — if you see something you like and wonder how I got the look/effect, just ask in the comments. I like getting comments. Anyway, enjoy.

Yes, my 365 Project is over but I keep uploading pics like never before. I’ve sent over 50 photos to Flicker during January. That’s more than I did on a regular “project month”. I keep trying out new photography apps and I have a few iPhone photography blogs bookmarked — I’d like to tell you about them but it’s to late today. I have to go to bed. Anyway, enjoy some of my pics from January.

Alright. I feel a bit joyous here realizing I made it through my 365 Project for 2010. It’s clear (to me, at least) that the pictures got better over time. Today is January 2:nd and it feels good to not having to upload a pic today, or yesterday for that matter. From now on (until I start a new 365 Project) I’ll just upload whatever I like, when I’d like too. Portrait/landscape, it won’t matter. Edited beyond recognition, it won’t matter. There will be a steady stream of new pics to my Flickr page, no doubt about it.

2011 is here and I’ll start posting again. I mentioned earlier that I would explain the shortage of new posts during the last few months. Just to get it into the open; I didn’t feel like posting stuff because I thought they weren’t good enough. That behavior is no more — I’m going to post whatever I like. It’s my blog and I can do whatever I like here, that’s kind of the point! Haha, well — see you around and let’s have fun with this, shall we?

Winter is here. It wasn’t here when November started, but it is now. It was 1.4 F (-17 C) this morning — I’d say that’s pretty cold. Winter clothes, I like them. Lots of pockets and you feel safe in a big down jacket with a hood — thank you Rockport XCS, thank you for keeping me warm.

I’ve decided to pick up blogging again. On a more frequent basis. I actually hate having a blog when never updating it. Things will change. I mean, I could upload a photo every damn day this year without too much trouble so why can’t I write a blog post every now and then? In fairness, the blog was updated at least once a day during 2010 when a new photo was uploaded, but I guess people want some text and other content to go with that.

I’m still not sure if I’ll continue with the 365 Project in 2011. I will no doubt keep uploading loads of photos to the blog and write about iPhone photography and perhaps even conventional photography (I don’t know much about it — but then again, who really does?). I’m listening to the brand new album from The National, it’s called Hight Violet and it’s really good. I’ll tey to to a kind of best of 2010 list in an upcoming post. Till then, take care. Lastly, go check out my pics from the November set over at Flickr if you’d like to see them in a bigger/better format.

October was a pretty good month as far as pictures go. This set has some variety to it — maybe I was out and about a bit more than usual. Still contemplating next year, should I do another year — and if so, should I be less restrictive and allow myself to experiment with different apps? I’m really starting to appreciate the limitations and “directness” of the iPhone in combination with a whole suite of photo apps. 365 Project 2011? Hmm… I have to think about that. As usual, go see the October pics over at Flickr — bigger sizes baby!

I believe I said that August was a fast or “short” month. Well, September is currently the champion of months that felt like a week. Enjoy the pictures in the slideshow or click the link below to see bigger versions of the photos. Oh, regarding the low post count the last few weeks — I’ll explaint that in an upcoming post. Cheers.
