My iPhone: In the Rain

Windham, Vermont

Jackson, New York

Today's installment of the blog has to do with Rain, while on the road today these things struck me as interesting, and thought they would make great additions to my iPhone project 

My iPhone: Time Waits?

Stratton, Vermont 

This iPhone photograph was taken at the bird watch in the National Forest, Grout Pond Landing. 

Mountain Pond

Grout Pond Stratton, Vermont  

This photograph is a departure from my iPhone project, it was created by stitching 6 independent images together,  taken with a DSLR 35 mm lens mounted, ISO 200 f/22 1/10th of a second for each shot, tripod mounted.

No Sepia for this one, it is an iPhone photograph, but sometimes color reigns supreme

My iPhone: Jelly Mill Falls

Jelly Mill Falls

Dummerston, Vermont

This is another personal preference set, like the photographs at Plainfield MA Beach I posted these both in Sepia and Color to see what you think.   This area is known as the Jelly Mill Falls in Dummerston VT.   This photograph is actually an 8 shots stitched together, all taken with my iPhone 4.

My iPhone; Watching all the cars go by

Jackson, New York

Sometimes you just have to use what is available. Today was a good example of that, I was working in New York and on my way home when I saw this deer with two others, standing beside the road .  I was able to take this shot with my iPhone, as it was the only camera I had available to me at the time.   It is a little off my iPhone theme but I couldn't pass it up.  No Sepia this time 

My iPhone; On the water

Plainfield, Massachusetts 

This time out in "My iPhone" I decided to give you two views of the same thing, to see what you think.  No alterations other than a little cropping and of course making the switch to Sepia tone.  This photograph was shot at the Plainfield MA public beach late this afternoon. Quite the difference wouldn't you say

My iPhone; Another Time

This bridge is named for a Civil War soldier from Townshend, who farm was located on the other side.

My iPhone: Leaves at Dusk

Townshend, Vermont

I had this idea yesterday to adapt a gallery exhibit I had seen involving photographs taken only with a smart phone cameras.  In my case I am going to produce images using my iPhone and Aperture photo software to create Sepia tone images.  I thought it would be interesting and fun to photograph things that interest me on the spur of the moment, using only the phone and then create the Sepia look.  I will post them to the blog titled My iPhone.    Tonight it is raining rather heavily in Vermont and the effect of the wet leaves on my deck at dusk caught my eye, so that is the theme tonight. 

My iPhone; In the Neighborhood

Townshend, Vermont

Not long ago I attended a gallery exhibit that featured a section of photographs all taken by the artists' smart phones.   The images in the exhibit, a of walk of life photo-essay style,  were raw they had no corrections of enhancements. I like the idea but my twist on it is here I like the sepia tone photographs so I tweaked my image abit using Aperture.

Reflections

Nancy's Battle of the Bead-Smiths entry "Reflections"

Look who's come to dinner

This evening Nancy was getting the table ready for dinner while I was finishing work for the day, she had just sat down when I heard in a rather excited tone, "BEAR !   BEAR!! on the deck,  BEAR!!! on the Deck RIGHT NOW!!!!"   I came into the dinning room to see this guy climbing the railing and heading to check out the bird feeder.  He was disappointed as that feeder has been empty for months.  I was able to take several shots of him from less than 10 feet, before he half jumped, half climbed down the rail and went out to the apple tree in the back yard. 

I think this guy is the same one who decided that our trash bin was a lawn toy 

last Saturday and knocked it all over the side yard.
