Many iPhoneographers — myself included — upload and display images on Flickr. More iPhone photographs end up online than in print — one of the reasons why I’ll sometimes give a pass to a photo app that doesn’t support full resolution. Other than sharing images with a close network of family and friends, many of us post to the Flickr community in an effort to have our images seen by a broader segment of the photography community. Basically, Flickr can be a great place to show.

The Downer Theatre
Milwaukee, Wisconsin
June 19, 2010

Near Milwaukee’s Upper East Side nestled in the middle of a quiet block is The Downer Theatre. Built in 1915, it’s one of the first neighborhood theaters in the country. Most of the area is still old. The sidewalks have grown dark gray with age, but the many brick buildings that surround The Downer are in good condition. The neighborhood is alive and vibrant. A new multistory bank reflects in windows from across the street.

Monochromia
Version 1.1.0
Price: $1.99

Bottom Line: Spotty full-res support and noisy, blown out monochrome conversions make this a disappointing app.

I love shooting for monochrome. I love discovering a killer app that takes my images and converts them to gorgeous black & white, with smooth gradients while holding the shadow detail and not blowing out highlights. I also love apps that replicate the look of analog film.

Monochromia, a new black & white conversion app from youthhr, really excited me when I first saw it in the app store. However, the actual results from the app don’t look nearly as pretty as the sample images in iTunes and in its early releases. Monochromia disappoints.

Online news giant USAToday is looking for your best cellphone travel photography. That, of course, includes photos taken with an iPhone.

In a story posted on May 25, 2010, USAToday/Dispatches blogger Laura Bly is looking for “the most inspiring and intriguing” images to post online in their Dispatches blog.

Cellphone travel photos take off: Send us your best shots

Apart from from its inherent portability, a cellphone camera’s biggest appeal may be “the imaginative ways we can now instantly put photos to use,” says travel photographer Jeff Pflueger. And thanks to the burgeoning ranks of sophisticated photo editing apps for both the iPhone and Android, capturing compelling visual souvenirs has never been easier

Here’s a link to the complete story, which includes submission information, on USAToday.

Happy Hour

It’s 5 o’clock somewhere….

Dive bars with genuine neon signs and Naugahyde booths are some of my favorite places to hang out and great places to find photos.
