Toronto Digital Tech and Photo Assistant
Years ago my dad told me that if you wanted to photograph a TV screen your shutter speed should be 1/15th second.
Obviously, you can’t see, know or numerically choose the shutter speed on an iPhone. However, if you are attempting to iphotograph an TV, play with increasing and decreasing the phone’s distance from the TV and observe how the image changes on your screen. Using this method I was able to shoot this same shot without any black lines.
Well, The Daily Mobile celebrated it’s 2nd Anniversary this past Thursday, and today we celebrate another milestone: the first TDM post to feature an image taken and/or altered by an app.
Ever since I saw the regatta scene in The Social Network I’ve been in love with this digital effects version of the view camera’s ability to tilt and shift the focal plane and severely distort the logic of a shot’s perspective. The result: miniature faking. A mind-teasing effect that when used with subject matter shot at a high angle makes the world look like it’s a model train set; and can help make even the most banal subject matter visually stimulating. TiltShift Generator is available in the iTunes App Store as a free and paid app.
March 17 – St. Patrick's Day is also The Daily Mobile's anniversary. Four years ago, 2007, I started snapping photos with my mobile cameraphone and two years ago (2009) I began posting them daily. Originally on Twitpic and now here on Posterous.
Thank you so much for visiting and following, and I look forward to seeing you again next Paddy's Day. Cheers!!! Eric Brazier
On this tragic day in Japan and the Pacific Rim, I wish to send my sympathy and hope for a peaceful future.
Could you have used a bigger font?
Man that felt good! Where were you?
