The Apple of Our iPhones

The Apple of Our iPhones

Robin Robertis has complete it again - bent a spectacular image using a clean question count. She used iRetouch on this photo of an apple - I love it.

India by iPhone

Robin Robertis, our favorite globetrotting iPhone Diva, captured the multilayered melange that is India - in photo art on her phone! Apps included You Gotta See This, Diptic, Toonpaint, and FotoMuse. Namaste!

Head In The Clouds and iPhone Too

Head In The Clouds and iPhone Too

Brian Kavanaugh Jones has been traveling a lot lately. Time on airplanes, in highrise hotels and the like. He has his head in the clouds - and is capturing the view on his iPhone. The results are a cut above. Enjoy.

Sunset with the iPhone

Brian Kavanaugh Jones does sunset with his iPhone. Check out these two great images.

Autopainter Turns iPhone Photos Into Paintings

Autopainter Turns iPhone Photos Into Paintings

“What are you doing?” Dewitt asked as I sat staring intently at my iPhone. “Painting,” I answer.

Autopainter and Autopainter II are two “crazy good” apps for creating photo art paintings. You choose an image and a style of painting such as chalk or felt tip, click start, sit back and watch it work.

No iPhone Yet But You Have an iPad? No Problem!

No iPhone Yet But You Have an iPad

Photographer Carol Robinson has begun the foray into "apping" by bringing her big girl camera pix into her new iPad and the rest, as they say, is history. I predict an iPhone in her future as well - after all, the best camera is..wait for it... the one you have with you!

Painteresque: iPhone Diva’s New Fave App

I was asked the other day what might be my favorite iPhone photo art app. That’s hard to answer - because I have lots of favorites - and they change all the time.

iPhone Diva’s New Fave App

It all depends on what I want to convey in an image, and that usually involves a number of apps for each shot. Sometimes I’ve previsualized - taking a shot with a specific app in mind; other times it’s an organic process of just working a photo until it “feels right”.

A Look In The Mirror - iPhone Style

Abstract Expressionism iPhone Style

One of my favorite photographers has begun using her iphone in a most creative way. I love the Abstract Expressionist school of painting and Katrina Pruett's latest work reminds me of that.

For apps, here's what she used. Snapseed, Touch Retouch to eliminate scratches, ProHDR and Photogene for framing.  On photo #3, she used Glaze for texture.   Enjoy!

Jack Davis Says: Ya Gotta See This

My dear friend and reknowned Photoshop guru Jack Davis, author of the Photoshop Wow books and all kinds of DVD's and cool stuff has graciously contributed some iPhone pix for our viewing pleasure. The app featured below is called aptly enough "Ya Gotta See This". Sadly, it only works on the iPhone 4, so those of us who are anxiously awaiting the end of our contracts will suffer delayed gratification. Those who have the new phone will likely want to download it immediately.

Recently, Jack was teaching a workshop near Los Osos, California, which is close to San Simeon and Hearst Castle. I guarantee you've never seen Hearst Castle quite like this. Enjoy!

Paris Re View

iPhone artist Jon Leland was also in Paris this summer with his lovely bride Karen. He shares the following images from his trip: ToonPaint app figured in prominently in many of these images. Vive la France! Enjoy!

Romance de Paris

iPhone Diva here, finally over jet lag and joyfully going through images from a trip to Europe. The Dude and I were strolling along a boulevard on the Isle St. Louis in Paris when we happened upon a newly married couple and their photographer. We smiled knowing that he was working to get rid of all the distracting elements on the street to isolate their special moments.



Later, we were meandering, looking down at people picnicking along the Seine, when along came our bride! (yes, we began thinking of her as our bride by then. I snapped a shot with my iPhone.

As usual, I began to work with my apps. I used a new one called Timeless Photo to tone and edge this portrait.
This is another version using Timeless Photo. I like the feel of this.


An edgier, more avant garde rendition was the result of an app recommended by my friend and Photoshop guru, Jack Davis: addLib.

When A Flower Is More Than A Flower

Sister iPhone Diva Judy Norton created these beautiful images. Here's how she did the first one:

"In Fl we have a tree called the orchid tree; although it has no relation to what we know as orchids, the flower may look similar to some species. In this case the flower was deep pink. I coupled it in DXP with palmetto fronds and then played around with it in Ezimba. Love that app!"



About this second photo, she says:
"More messing around with Ezimba and a sunflower. I can't remember the order, 'cause once I start playing, I don't always remember where I've been."

Really? Gee, I always remember where I've been. NOT!!!

Inside A Cat's Brain

Today's collage was created by the Digital Dude: my handsome hubby Dewitt Jones. He call's it "Inside Po's Brain". Our cat, Po, is a rescue cat and there are a few synapses that don't quite fire all the time. Like if we leave the room and she can't see us, she starts crying as if her little heart might break. It's a reverse game of peek-a-boo. If she can't see us, we're gone. So we have to yell out, "We're here, Po. We haven't left." And she calms right down. This photo may be closer to photojournalism, come to think of it.

Collage # 5 from iPhone Diva

Here's the latest collage using Montage, FotoMuse, ArtCamera apps and a new cool app called TouchUp painting in an embossed look to part of the collage. You can bet I'll be doing more with this app, lots more.

Collages # 3 and 4

Lightning Rose apps were Montage, Photo Studio, and Vihgo.



Ghost Trees apps were Montage, Photo Studio, Art Camera, Photogene.

iCreated Collage # 2

My new goal is to create at least one collage per day on my iPhone and upload it here as well as to the iCreated online gallery, If you don't have this app (iCreated), download it. The art that people make with their phone is inspiring and gets those creative juices flowing. You can choose if you want to upload your own art photos or just browse the amazing images others are showcasing in the gallery. So here is last night's collage. I made it instead of watching American Idol. (Well, I taped it, of course. I'm not crazy.) I call this one Butterfly Blues. Apps used were Vihgo, Montage, FotoMuse, and Pic Grunger.

A Rose Is A Rose Is A Rose

I love collaging and multiple exposure photos. Always have, always will. Here's my latest iPhone photo art using Collage, Art Camera, Vihgo, and DXP apps. And I downloaded an app called iCreated a while back with a gallery of cool iPhone art. Very inspiring. This is the first photo I have uploaded to their online gallery - won't be the last. Check it out!

Same Apps, Different Day; Two iPhone Artist Views

Brian Kavanaugh Jones's latest urban life vignettes with Hipstamatic and Toonpaint apps:



And Robin Robertis is back using DXP and Juxtaposer to create these wonderful images. She says her new puppy dog inspires her (last photo).

Urban Landscape and Floral Fantasy

Brian Kavanaugh Jones does it again with an LA urban landscape rendered in Toonpaint. And in a departure from our usual iPhone format, here is Carol Robinson's SX70 photo of orchids, scanned and worked in Photoshop.
