This hand-tinted cyanotype began as an iPhone photograph of the centre of a bowl/plate that someone left out on their lawn. But when I made the digital negative to make the cyanotype contact print I forgot to invert it, so the negative was a positive.
I decided to go with it, and tired hand-tinting the “negative” cyanotype with watercolour pigments. Here is the results.
Note: instead of just scanning the print, I just took a photo of the entire thing.
I took this image through the windshield of our car using my iPhone as we sat in the rain this past Sunday morning.
Yesterday in this part of Nova Scotia it was cold (single digits) and rainy, so I was indoors most of the day. Inside a mall I did see some interesting things and came up with this double exposure using my iPhone and the Snapseed app.
Shooting through glass objects this morning usiny both my iPhone and Sony a6100 with TTArtisan 40mm f/2.8 macro lens.
Using a small flashlight and coloured filters for lighting.
Inspired by a discussion with friends about corporate culture yesterday morning, I took one of my mannequin images from an outing yesterday, and used another image I had from another outing recently.
No generative AI was used, although I can’t help but think it could be mistaken for that, even after some changes I made to lessen the effect. I don’t like creating “defensively” to avoid misunderstanding, but this is the age we are in.
The original mannequin image was taken with a Sony a7ii and Ziltrox 28mm f/4.5 lens, and the background image was taken with an iPhone.
Five minutes with my iPhone and a flashlight got me a result I quite like.
A few days ago I saw a smashed mirror that someone had put out for disposal. I knew I had to take a picture for future use so out came the iPhone.
This morning I did some compositing and other editing.
There was a lot of fog this morning in Toronto, just begging to be photographed. I used my iPhone 15 and the TinType app for a vintage, murky look.
A few days ago I was at a Toronto Camera Club at The Well here in Toronto. There was a long wooden bench, open at both, with spaces for the light to get through. I took an image with my iPhone (wide angle lens) and was struck by the lack of scale; this image could be a large tunnel, etc. There is nothing to really indicate the size.
I met up with my good friend Alan for some tabletop macro photography at the Only Cafe here in Toronto yesterday. I used my iPhone for this image, and added a vintage treatment in Lightroom afterwards.
