Ringside
Six Kentucky Kernel photogs took a photo field trip Friday to Legends Boxing Gym on Versailles Road. You can always count on the gym as a great place for photography, but it can also pose some challenges when working with those quick boxers in pretty low light. It was fun for me, too, as I [...]
American Pickers
The true American Pickers – three generations of them in fact, had some long rows ahead of them early one morning this summer. Picking that many beans and then snapping them will give you some fine callouses – I can vouch for that.
Shaker Village and the Hipstamatic
I’ve written before about how keeping it simple kept things fun at Shaker Village using my iPhone4 and the Camera Bag App. This time, on a trip with some family and friends, I used the Hipstamatic app and enjoyed the results even more.
Something fishy
Never have I seen a collection of fish heads such as this one nailed to the side of a barn in Winchester. Yikes. It’s like the bass have a second life haunting me now.
The Hipstamatic Paks a wallop
I’ll admit I’m an app-jumper. Love this app, love that app. One fades while another inspires. The latest iPhone app that has me fired up is the Hipstamatic. It’s been around a while but with the recent purchase of my new iPhone 4 and it’s bad @ss camera, the obsession has gone up a notch. [...]
Yellow Springs Break
The fam took a bit of a Spring Break trip to a small town in Ohio called Yellow Springs. Great small-town destination with great shops, food, bike trails and the Glen Helen Nature Preserve. Thought I’d post a few shots from the trip, including some iPhone photos and another iPhone panorama.
Commonwealth Stadium pano during UT game
I had the good fortune of scoring some tickets for the Tennessee/Kentucky game Saturday night. I was hoping to witness a bit of history that night, but alas, UK couldn’t break UT’s 645-game winning streak. During a time out, though, when the folks in front of me had a moment to sit, I grabbed a [...]
Cigar shop
While visiting Austin, I saw this gentleman rolling cigars in a storefront. Thought I’d give it a go with the iPhone pano. This photo is 18 photos total. Below is a series with the QuadCam iPhone app.
Natural Bridge + iPhone + AutoStitch = Wow
Updated with a new pano from January 8, 2010: That AutoStitch iPhone app never ceases to amaze me. I took a trip to Natural Bridge State Resort Park Sunday afternoon hoping to catch some of the fall color before it was too late (me and a few hundred other folks apparently had the same idea [...]
The Simple Life
The fam took a short trip to Shaker Village at Pleasant Hill, Kentucky yesterday. It’s always a beautiful place, but the dark, gray day wasn’t particularly inspiring me to shoot. So, out pops the iPhone to play around a bit. I imagine I looked kinda odd with a 2700-dollar 5D Mark II hanging on my [...]
My garden faerie
Just having some fun with the Quad Cam App in the back yard. I like how the sequence turns into a panoramic of sorts.
iShoot goes green
Had a nice road trip with former colleagues Charles Bertram and Amy Wilson the other day. While killing a little time in the car, Amy took out her iPhone and complained about how she couldn’t get her photos to look ‘normal’ anymore. Well, of course since it wasn’t our iPhone that was broken, Charles and [...]
iPhone App: Luvn that AutoStitch pano
Made with 19 iPhone photos and then used the Autostitch pano app and uploaded to my site with the WordPress app. I probably shot and stitched this in 5-6 minutes. The WordPress app, however, isn’t playing nice with many blogs, including mine, when it comes to displaying full size images. I have to edit the [...]
iPhone panos from Vegas
All shot with the iPhone camera. I used either Photomerge or Calico to stitch them.
iShoot iPhone: Hallway to nowhere
Flamingo Hotel, Vegas I swear this is the longest hallway I’ve ever been in. Kind of Get Smart without the slamming doors.
iShoot iPhone: Hello ‘biscus
Lovely hibiscus growing on an old farm in Mercer County, Kentucky. The iPhone 3Gs camera does a MUCH better job of focusing closely.
iPhone App: QuadCamera
I think it was long about THE FIRST IMAGE that I took with QuadCamera that I decided it was well work the $1.99.
iPhone app: Hold ‘er steady
While Night Camera is getting rave reviews, I had much more trouble using it in the short 15 minute test around my house. SteadyCam was simpler and more consistent.
iPhone app: A camera bag in your pocket
Wanna make your office look a little more Yosemite? Just apply a little Ansel.
