The New iPad from Apple

–

In about 20 hours from the time of this writing, the world changes. You are here to see it.

Tomorrow morning, Apple’s iPad will be unleashed to the world. I truly believe that the iPad will change in a very big way how we receive content and information. I believe the iPad will create new industries, rescue old ones that are embracing the new slates, and be a nail or two in the coffin of others that can’t or won’t adapt.

Mockingbird Station

Toolbox: FocalLab, CameraBag

If you’ve taken the Blue Line or the Red Line south from Mockingbird Station, you know the big, long escalator down to the platform. Once you step on, there’s a long time to think about where you’re going, the train you’ll take. Three stories below, you step out on to the platform, only a short distance from where the twin tunnels engulf the yellow and white trains.

From The Random Photographer blog, here’s an interesting variation of the image-a-day concept — 7 Photos, 7 Songs, 7 Days. In addition to seven (really nice) iPhonoegraphy, “Random Sam” also tagged this set with seven songs — one corresponding to each image. I like his photography, especially his photo “Friday”. The music is a nice touch and adds one more element to each piece.

Here’s the link to “7 Photos, 7 Songs, 7 Days” on Random Photographer. >>>

Louise

Louise stands in the middle of the terminal, facing the travelers and the Chili’s-To-Go. She stands near her accessories, displayed in a glittered case. Her clothes say tropical, or thrift store. Her glasses implore “hide me in in First Class.”

I was recently interviewed by John Meadows for the On the Log podcast. In “Episode 89: Less is More”, we discuss iPhoneography and using the iPhone with some recent apps to capture the look of old analog photography. It was a fun discussion and I think it’s an interesting interview. Plus, you get to find out whether or not this Texan talks with a twang.

This updated Camera Bag post will also go in the navbar above. I wanted to share the evolution of my iPhone. You can read my original Camera Bag post here.

Some of my other camera apps. Page 4 on my iPhone

The best camera is the one that’s with you and the one that’s with me nearly all the time is my first generation 8 GB iPhone 2G.

I don’t use one app exclusively to shoot with. I have several and try to match up the image with the app. One of the features that makes the iPhone camera unique is the availability of thousands of photography-related apps. For less than the cost of a DVD, you can basically get a whole new camera experience.

iPhone apps are constantly being created, updated and improved. Since I first wrote my original Camera Bag post, several new apps have been released and several apps have been improved to the point where they have leapfrogged ahead as far as functionality and performance.

I find myself shooting with many different apps than the first time I wrote about my iPhone’s camera bag. Here’s my updated toolbox — the go-to apps I’m currently using.

LOFI

LOFI
Version 1.0

Bottom line: Recommend!

With the name LOFI, I couldn’t pass this app by.

LOFI by Christopher Comair is “a celebration of imperfection.” It’s a digital lomo app. Cross processing results in unnatural color shifts. Lomography tends to be oversaturated and blurry. LOFI wraps your image in both and then turns it up to 11, kicks it around, amps it up and leaves it exhausted and sweaty on a blanket on the sofa. This is probably one of the best free photo apps in the App Store.
