Chasing shadows

Posted by Andy

If you’ve got an iPhone 3/3GS, you’ll no doubt know how truly awful its camera is.

Here’s the before……………………………………………………….and the after.

Exposure > Saturation > Contrast > Border > Done!

This is on the same stretch of road and always makes me smile whenever I walk past it. I think there used to be a bin there or something:

I think iPhone photos work best when you stop trying to make them look like the real thing and instead, process the life into them.

Some actual content?

Posted by Andy

I realise that this page is very light on anything remotely visual and that there doesn’t seem to be any of my old post activity any more. That’s because I’ve transferred domain hosting and lost all of my old posts due to some incompatibility or corruption in my backup between mySQL on Lycos and mySQL on my new host. D’oh!

I’ve also joined Twitter and Blip.fm which, through the wonders of modern technology, magic my short posts onto this site. Microblogging, if you will – good, but no pics.

So I’ll be having a dig through last year’s stuff and posting some of it for the purpose of aesthetics, y’understand?
