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.
What an unexpectedly beautiful day in Toronto. After work I headed to The Brazen Head Pub to meet up with my girlfriend and take in some of the Magenta Foundation’s Flash Forward Photography Festival taking place at 171 Liberty St in Liberty Village.
Along the way I stopped to snap this shot. You know winter is around the corner when the shadows are this long at 5:30 PM.
The Lord Dufferin Apartments is an unsightly building at the western border of the recently minted and continually expanding Liberty Village.
Its decaying and junk-strewen balcony fa??ade dominates the skyline – I am sure much to the chagrin of the village’s residents and condo developers.
One day while exploring the building’s perimeter I came across this cable box. It looks like something out of a third-world country and it’s obvious that Rogers long-ago gave up any hope of controlling this rampant signal stealing.
Here’s to DIY ingenuity!
