If you have read the six steps I follow to improving my own photography, you will know that I believe that the instant feedback you get from digital photography is one of the most valuable learning tools a photographer can leverage. Another piece of the equation is knowing the capabilities of your software. These two aspects of digital photography used to be separated by a drive home and a download. However, with the advent of the smart phone, you can combine these two creative exercises at the point of capture. This last week I began experimenting with the mobile version of Photoshop, and needless to say, I’m hooked! With it, I can shoot a frame, and immediately begin to make global adjustments to contrast, exposure, saturation, etc. Not only have I found it to be a powerful tool to help expand my own vision through consistent exercises in creativity, I have begun using the tool as an image proof. I have started using the iPhone, coupled with Photoshop Mobile, as a way to quickly make draft versions of images prior to unleashing the fury of the D300. Photoshop Mobile is pretty slick, it’s not limited to the iPhone, and best of all it’s free. So give it a run by clicking the link below.
News: If you are in the Denver area, I will be having a show at the Indulge Wine Bar on Sunday night. You can find all the details, and the images that will be on display, here. Reed Photo did an amazing job on the printing and mounting. It is exciting to see your images come to life, and at 24″x36″, the images really came to life! If you aren’t in the Denver area, but would still like to purchase a print, stay tuned. You will be able to purchase them shortly.
