I broke out the iPhone quite a bit on this trip. Rekindled enthusiasm and other worldly subject matter is some powerful ju-ju.
The iPhone is the ultimate sketch pad. Literally, photoshop in your pocket, using apple apps for processing offers unlimited possibilities, and one is only limited by one’s imagination, hence everything is wide open to interpretation. Following is a gallery of images from our Icelandic Odyssey 2015, shot and processed on the iPhone 6+.
The apps listed are the apps predominantly used in most cases. Snapseed is always my first stop, then often I’ll try a Perfectly Clear adjustment to get the ball rolling, especially on low contrast or flat images. In almost all cases at least two different versions were blended in Image Blender.
My 2 primary apps that I use, after Snapseed, are Stackables and Mextures. Both are deep with features that I find suit the distressed look that I like on many occasions. However, my favorite apps tend to cycle out every few months or so.
For longer exposures or for more control and stability, I’ll mount the iPhone on my tripod using the MeFoto SideKick360 (Plus, for larger phones, like the 6plus), and there’s a smaller SideKick for smaller phones. There is a built in ArcaSwiss mount and easily switches from Horiz. to Vert.
Also, mentioned in the image info and highly recommended are the Moment lenses. I use both, the 18mm and the 60mm.
It’s a good practice to find apps that appeal to your subject selection and shooting style and study/master those handful of apps and try to resist the urge to binge buy apps. I know this because, like many serious iPhone shooters, I’ve bought “everything,” but I find that at any given time, I use the same 6-8 apps 95% of the time.
iPhone photography is encouraged during our workshops and special processing sessions are held for iPhone shooters.
That’s about it for our Icelandic Odyssey 2015. Please email Susan if interested in our Sept, 2016 Icelandic Odyssey “Aurora Madness” tour.
