Lately I’ve been adding to my arsenal of iPhone apps and accessories, and thought I would share a few fun finds…
A New App
I’m a sucker for an app that helps me integrate interesting geometric shapes with my photographs of trees, and my latest find is Tangent. It has a wide range of shapes, patterns, colors and blending modes that create interesting effects on your photographs. I’ve been playing around this weekend, figuring out how to integrate it with my creative workflow. Here’s my favorite creation so far, called Rising:
A New Case
I’m always looking at interesting iPhone cases at the store and wondering if I could live with the design every day. Instead of buying another artist’s case, I decided to take the idea of “living with my work” to a new level and created a custom clip case for my iPhone 5 through Decal Girl. It took a bit of experimentation to find an image that worked with the aspect ratio of the case. The real thing has a little bit of color shift from my original image, Vanishing, but came out great otherwise! Decal Girl is having a sale right now, use code BACK2SCHOOL for 25% off.
A New Magazine
I ran across this new mobile photography magazine for iPad over the weekend, iPhotographer. I decided to subscribe after looking through the free preview issue. It’s beautiful, interactive, and looks like it is going to be a great resource for those of us loving the world of mobile photography. You can purchase single issues for $3.99 or subscribe to the year for $18.99. Check out the free preview issue through the Apple Newsstand on your iPad. I already can’t wait for the first issue to come out!!
I love your new custom case! The image you chose works beautifully — stylistically it’s the equal of any commercial case I’ve ever seen. If I saw that case in a store I’d buy it. Hm, perhaps there’s an idea for a future line of work for you! 🙂
Thanks! The case even came in a box that made it look like I bought it right off a display, which made it seem even more “professional.” Very fun.
I love the phone case as well, it works beautifully.
Thanks Carolyn! You should make one with one of your images. 🙂
I like how you’ve embraced this iphone-ography jumping in, well maybe canonball style to it. I still can’t figure it out, but I’m content with my DSLR for now. I suppose if I could become inspired with it that would be a whole new world.
Love that case. You go girl.
LOL, Susan. If there is one thing I know about myself it’s this: I’m not an early adopter, but I’m an enthusiastic adopter. Once I adopt something, I’m all in, canonball style!
hi kat,
wonderful artwork, great iphone case, what a brilliant idea to live with your work this way lol!
i have subscribed to the iPhotographer magazine too! it’s very exciting to browse through its interactive pages and there is so so so much more to learn…. can’t wait for the ‘real’ first issue to hit the stands….
