A step by step guide to making an iPhone photograph
A number of people have asked me how I make my iPhone photographs and here's how ... it's all about making something out of nothing. It's about seeing potential in possibility and bringing that out. This is the key to all darkroom, photographic enhancing, post processing, etc and it holds true for work on the iPhone.
Here's how ...
I was walking past Marks and Spencer's and spotted a ripped M and S plastic bag on the pavement. As soon as I saw it I thought the colour would look interesting offset against the background. Photograph 1 is the raw image. As you can see it looks pretty uninteresting (pretty repulsive, huh?). Once the photograph was taken I used TiltShiftGen iPhone app (photo 2) to process it just like a black and white darkroom image, increasing the contrast and darkening the overall image. Because the contrast between the green plastic was sufficiently high (about 'three stops' or so) the background turned almost black but the bag looked great and picked up loads of texture and saturation. (Just one thing about TiltShitGen is that you have to make the 'blur circle' bigger than the whole image if you don't want the defocus effect.) I also darkened the edges.
Next I used the Photogene iPhone app to crop the image into a square. Photo 3.
Lastly I loaded the image into the ShakeItPhoto to add the distinctive border effect and give it the look of a photograph. Photo 4.
That's it. Photographed and enhanced completely on the iPhone - that's iPhoneography. I hope this has been useful - try it out yourself it's a lot of fun.

Learn to Podcast | Guide to Podcasting Basics from Mission to Learn
I’ve noted before that podcasts are among my Top 5 Web Learning Tools, and I also recently highlighted 10 Killer Killer Content Sources for Your iPod Learning Mix, but learning from podcasts is not just about consuming content. In fact, producing content may be an even more effective way to leverage podcasting for learning. To that end, I’ve recently put together a free, brief guide for how to produce and distribute a podcast.
By way of background, the guide is meant to provide details about how a colleague and I are producing and distributing the Radio Free Association podcast, a bi-weekly series we do for professionals in the association world. Because it focuses mostly on the specific approaches we use for that podcast – and a few we may use in the future – it does not cover every possible option (that would be overwhelming and probably unproductive anyway). Nonetheless, it offers a concise set of tools and brief explanations that should be of use to pretty much any individual or organization that wants to get into podcasting or expand their current efforts. Topics covered include:
- Setting up the Web site for the podcast
- Creating the RSS Feed
- Recording the podcast
- Mixing and editing
- Hosting the audio files
- Budgeting for a podcast
Just follow the link below to download the free PDF.
Happy podcasting,
Jeff
