Some alternative iPhone shots of Lliw Lower Reservoir. Having finished the new video collection, “StillWalks at Lliw Reservoir“, I recently had a walk there and did some iPhonography at the same time.
The photos were taken using the ProCamera app and edited in the PhotoshopExpress app on the phone and have also been posted on Instagram and EyeEm.
Earlier this week I posted the images on the left of those below straight from my iPhone without any post-production adjustments. I hope you will agree with me that the adjusted versions are an improvement.
The photos were taken pretty much as snapshots. I did not spend any time in setting up the shots and next to no time looking at different angles or alternative compositions. The best work you’ll ever do in post-production will always be with those images that need least doing to them. It is useful, however, to be able to make some improvements to shots taken on the fly.
The photos were taken with the iPhone app ProCamera. Initial adjustments were made on the phone using the same app and further adjustments made in Adobe Lightroom followed by some sharpening and noise removal with Google’s Nik software.
This little fella was sitting on the wall by our front door when we came in after a walk at the weekend. He stayed there long enough for me to get a quick snap with my iPhone before hopping away.
I have a folder on my computer called “Day to Day Images” – a lot of the photos in it are taken on my iPhone and almost always I do some post production editing with one or other iPhone app. These would often be ProCamera and/or PhotoshopExpress, but I use others as well.
Today’s photo had some heavy cropping and a little sharpening was necessary as a result but I decided to leave it at that on this occasion. The images in yesterday’s post had no editing done at all – and that is fairly obvious. I think I will repost those images later in the week after I have made the necessary adjustments.
