By About a week ago Dorien was talking to me about her blog. We were talking about 365-days projects. Personally, I’d love to do one myself but shooting a decent picture every day? Not gonna happen. I can’t find the discipline to take a shot using my DSLR every day. Not to mention the time invested in preparing the shot, getting it right, getting to your computer and uploading the shot… That’s (at least) a one hour job every day! During one year…
So I was thinking about a way of getting the shot wherever I want, whenever I feel like it, and upload it right away… I figured using my iPhone and some photography apps might do the trick. About an hour later I uploaded my first shot. I really like the fact that it is instantaneous. I shoot, I process, I upload it to Flickr. *magic happens* WordPress gets the latest picture from my set on Flickr and displays it in the sidebar. Done.
It only takes a few minutes a day and I’m pretty sure that next year in September I’ll have a cool collection of pictures (which I’m planning to use in my next big project 😉 )
You can see the latest picture in the sidebar. And because I like the process so much, let me share how the workflow is like on the right. (From left to right: I take a shot, I edit it a bit and then I polarize it (and add the tag of the day)).
If you like it, check out my Flickr set which is updated daily (duh)!
If you’re interested in what iPhone apps I’m using:
- Default camera app
- Vint Green (take a shot and immediatly have it developed into a vintage green version)
- TiltShiftGen (take a shot/open an existing picture and edit colors, vignette, blur (circle/tiltshift) (I love this one)
- Polarize (convert the image to a polaroid: frame and color correction)
- QuadCamera (get 4 shots one after each other into a single picture)
- CameraBag (take a shot/open an existing picture and add one of 9 effects)
If you got any cool suggestions or ideas: just let me know 🙂
Hey !
I love this idea 🙂
How do you do to add numbers on your picture ? which app does the trick ?
Thanks a lot
Thank you!
The app I’m using to add the polaroid look, make the picture a bit more vintage and add the number is called ‘Polarize’. It’s a free app, on the App store! I think you’ll like it 🙂
Enjoy!
