Camera love
A lot of people have been asking me what kind of camera I use because they like my pictures (thanks!). I use a Canon S90 and a t3i, and do some professional touch up in Photoshop. This is not easy, I worked 18 years in movie effects and I use Photoshop since 1991...But for a lot of my pictures, I also use or mix effects on my iPhone/iPad or even take directly pictures with cool apps on my iPhone. It's easy, fun, and fast too. These apps require no more genius than the one of pointing and shooting...Which is another story. But for you app lovers and bloggers, here's a few of my favorites. Have fun!
This bouquet in the hand of a sculpture in my favorite Parisian garden is actually a photo taken with Hipstamatic, and then gone through Instagram. Instagram is actually a photo sharing application ( I use it everyday for blogging) , but it has cropping, resizing, a nice set of filters and a fake tilt shift effect : enough to give some snappiness to a good shot. No wonder Instagram is the app of the year on iTunes.
This cute picture with my favorite cup and a bunny was shot with Hipstamatic, then I added the bunny with Signote and posted with Instagram (do I sound a bit geeky or is it just me?). Signote is just the kind of app that make me giggle in a happy geeky way. It helps you integrates doodles in a picture and does that in seconds. I wish I had less of a busy day so I could play with it all day long.
OK. I have like 23 photo apps on my iPhone and iPad so I might stop here for today. This is a test post. Please be kind enough to leave me a comment if you liked it( but, pretty please, not the I use only free apps and I didn't get an iPhone for Christmas kind of comment). Would you like me to continue to share the best apps I found in iTunes?

Top top, je découvre signote qui a l'air d'être une tuerie :))) Et j'attends la suite pour en découvrir plus (pourvu que tes Apps soient dispo dans l'Apps Store France!). Bon en fait j'ai recompté, j'en ai une douzaine (mais juste 5-6 que j'utilise vraiment). Je te dirai si j'en ai que tu n'as pas:)
Qaund je te disais que j'en ai 23, c'est celles que j'utilise...Je crois que pour la photo seule j'en ai essayé plus de cinquante, pauvre de moi. Je suis tres curieuse de savoir celels que tu preferes!
Merci pour les détails ! Ô surprise, je vote pour les posts geek _.
Hihi, ho surprise, geek et joli c'est sur tu ne dois même pas avoir besoin d'ouvrir mon blog, ça doit t'apparaitre en message subliminal et intuitif ^^Merci de ton soutien
I did not like this post... I loved it! I am having a lot of un with my iphone and hope to continue to do so in 2012. The phone makes taking pics second nature... Thank you!
I so agree with you Estelle! When digital photos appeared 15 years ago I switched from a film a month to hundreds of pictures and now with the iPhone I go up to thousands. So much fun!
If 3 of my oldest and dearest readers are interested, I will continue for sure!Thanks
mon tifone intelligent me sert de "carnet de croquis"... tu penses que ce genre de post m'intéresse!
^^*
j'ai entendu geek? suis là :) je viens de télécharger au moins 5 appli photo ces dernières emaines. Reste plus qu'à les tester, alors je suis preneuse si tu partages ton avis :) On sait jamais ce n'est peut-être pas les mêmes . Bientôt j'en aurais peut-être 23 de plus!
I don't have an iPhone or iPad, I don't use apps, but I still REALLY like this type of post. I just enjoy learning how people manipulate their photos. And I have been enjoying your work through your blog for many years now. Thank you!
Yes, more please! My partner has an iPhone and I've tried using the camera since our little Canon got stuck on grainy black and white, but so far I haven't really taken to it--now I'll have to explore the possibilities...Thanks!
The thing that I liked was the bouquet, really loved the color and the effect that was made. Thank Thanks. lOve it.
