I wanted to share another IPhone photograph. This is simply a pair of folded paper spheres. In actuality they are white Christmas ornaments. I think that I am getting better at framing with the IPhone, an acquired skill, and I cannot complain enough about all the images that people post on Facebook with tilted poorly composed perspectives. Once you get the hang of it, it’s not really that difficult. I also think that some image processing is critical, particularly to be able to crop, set levels, and apply a curved look-up-table to the image. Of course, I also like converting first to black and white and then sepia toning. And this takes me back to the opportunity of this image – one of my favorite themes to explore – the pure tone-on-tone, white-on-white. The IPhone offers the advantage of being always with you. It is also more innocuous. While I don’t see any posted restriction, places like the local shopping mall may frown on DSLR photograph.
