You are at a wine tasting, and the tour guide points out a wine press from the 1970s. It is rich in color and texture. You have a glass of wine in one hand, so operating your DSLR is out of the question. Don’t worry, there’s an app for that. All my iPhone photography is currently the product of ‘The Best Camera’. The images are shot, edited, and shared single-handedly without ever leaving the application. You can find the app by clicking the iTunes icon below.

Flickr Favorites – Friday is a great time to share inspiration. We can all go into the weekend with our creative muse primed and ready for action. One great source of photographic inspiration is Flickr. I am sure that most of the photographers that visit here are well aware of Flickr’s sea of talent. Not a day goes by when I don’t peruse page after page of amazing images submitted by photographers from around the world. I will mark some as favorites and once or twice a month go back and review them. I am just as blown away the second time. Feel free to explore Flickr yourself, or you can just click the image below. It will take you to the listing of my favorites where you can begin to discover the amazing world around us through the eyes of some very talented people.
Man In Motion – After I posted ‘Forest Through The Trees’ a fellow Flickrite brought to my attention a photographer who has mastered the abstract structure. His name is Russ Barnes. I have added him to the ‘Great Eyes’ section below, but you can find him here: http://www.russbarnes.co.uk/
I hope you find his work as inspiring as I do!
In The Nik News – LightAsMagic.com was featured again in the Nik monthly newsletter. I would like to thank the folks over at Nik for their support of the entire photographic community. To be mentioned on the same page as Tony Sweet and Vincent Versace is truly an honor. Nik’s software is not only efficient, but a very nice addition to your creative toolbox.
If you are not familiar with the Nik tools, feel free to read my overview of it here.
Beautiful photos. They have a very distinctive ‘Holga’ look to them. I am particularly drawn to the gasoline dispensers (not sure what the right word for them is) in the middle of nowhere. A touch of nostalgia mixed with a bit of humor….nice!
Thanks Howard!
I like that one as well. I shot a bit of DSLR at that location, and will be posting it next week.
Have a great rest of your weekend!
