I’ve been experimenting with dark and moody iPhone photography recently to match the dark and miserable weather we have received, so I thought I’d share some from the last few months… I’d love to hear your thoughts on them!
Don’t forget to check out the blogs I am advertising on my sidebar at the minute!
You can also find me on Twitter and Tumblr @Suzie81blog
My thoughts are that you’re way better at taking pictures with your phone than I am. Those look great!
Thank you!
Great Photo! Please check out my blog at http://www.inspiringthroughthelens.com
Thank you!
Very good! I especially love the first two pictures. Amazing to think you did that on your phone.
Thank you!
Absolutely fantastic. That first image is amazing. Great eye, great moment, fantastic industrial town, like a Pink Floyd album cover. If you live in Los Angeles long enough you forget places like that still exist and that they’re real. But that’s what it looks like where I come from In Pennsylvania. Good stuff!
Thanks – that means an awful lot coming from someone with your photography skills Donald!!
That’s a good photo of Stockport, Know it so well..
Thank you – I took it from a train after i had left Manchester Piccadilly…
beautiful! I love the sky shots and the frozen patterns are wonderful. You’ve got a great eye to capture things. Keep going!
Thank you!!
Those look nice! Have you used any effects or filters?
Thanks! I have on the first two, but not on the second two…
I have a favorite one – the second sky view moody clouds
Thank you – I’m really glad you like it!
Love the first one. Who needs cameras anymore?! Looks like a Northern English industrial town…am I close?
I’ve always enjoyed dark and moody photographs. I find these photos peaceful and relaxing, much like I feel during heavy rains and very cold days.
I think that’s how i’m feeling too!!
It is! Stockport is in the north, next to Manchester, where i’m orginally from…
Ok WOW! great photos…loved the moody sky shots…my phone is just smoldering right now that these were phone shots! I think my cam maybe envious too!
haha! Thank you!
Lovely pictures, they look very professional considering they’re taken on an iphone lol!
Thank you very much!
The Stockport shot is brilliant! Nice work, Suzie. Those iPhones go alright!
They certainly do! Thanks EJ!
I would have never thought you could do that with an iPhone. Those are absolutely amazing!!
Thank you!!
No problem!
Another nice set of images Suzie you do have an eye for an good shot – but it still does annoy me sometimes that I spent many many hours in classrooms, darkrooms and in front of the computer learning technical skills on graphical software to produce what phone software can do in seconds and believe me many jobs have been put at risk by this phone software.
I am currently working on some lessons using Gimp which is like the poor cousin to Photoshop, but Gimp is free and can be downloaded at http://www.gimp.org/downloads/ I do suggest that you download it and instead of having your phone do the fancy stuff, learn to do it yourself, it is really satisfying along with the how to here docs.gimp.org/2.8/en/ believe me you will have great fun.
If you need to ask me questions about changing your images then please email me blog(at)rainbow-photography.net
Sorry to hijack your post but like you I want to teach, I want people to learn there is more to taking a photograph then just pointing and shooting and you don’t need a expensive camera OR with lots and lots of pixels (Its just the camera manufacturers using the pixels as a selling point).
There I go again Suzie yap yap yap …….. 🙂
I never mind you yapping Pete – you always have something interesting to say!! Thanks for the link…
I Love It! Especially the Sky….
Thank you very much!
Your Welcome Suzie!
Very nicely done and on a phone too…mine wouldn’t take such lovely snaps.
Thank you!!
This is going to sound extremely odd, but when it popped up in my reader, I honestly thought they were paintings.
Until I read the title
And I was flabbergasted.
🙂
Thank you very much – really pleased you like them!
Cold but beautiful! Sizi
Thank you!
are you using effects?! if not, I applaud you!
I’ve used effects on the first two… Thanks!!
I’m amazed by the quality of images I am able to capture on my iPhone too. The majority of pics on my blog are iPhone shots. These you’ve posted are exceptional!
Hi suz if you want too develop your photographic skills do so by telling the camera what to do and for that you need an understanding of photographic applications and optical principals. As far as Iphones go I consider them to be good convenient recording devises, not optical instruments. However, for the recording of the scenes that you posted using your Iphone your images convey an informative view of your home that I find interesting. I love mixing words and pictures together and look up to writers such as yourself. Good writing is powerful but good writing mixed with powerful images is almighty. I look forward to seeing your blog become almighty 2014.
Great pics. Last one is my favourite. It looks like an aerial view of a frozen landscape.
It’s amazing how great the quality is with our iPhone cameras! Gotaa love technology. 🙂
Haha! Definitely!
Great post! 🙂
Thank you very much!
You’re welcome. 🙂
Great photos! The frozen patterns on your car look like a view of mountains taken from an aeroplane!
Thank you! I’d never looked at it like that!
Love the pics! Makes me want to go out and get some great shots with my phone. However, my artistic interpretation abilities are quite lacking. I have been known to take a very good picture of my thumb though! Trust me…not so pretty! 🙂
Haha! Thanks Deb!
gr8 pics.. check me out on Instagram: sudhansh_ography
I particularly like the first one. My iPhone just takes blurry pictures (or maybe that’s its user?)
No, it’s definitely the phone 😉
Stockport has never looked better!
haha!
Particularly like the Stockport shot – still recognisable after all these years.
Thank you! I only go there to get the train, so I’m glad it’s recognisable! Do you know it well?
Reasonably well – I lived in Whaley Bridge and shopped there occasionally and crawled through it by car twice per weekday on the way to/from Manchester 😦
Ah, I understand. That must have been fun 😉
