Plastic Bullet saves the iPhone camera!!

the family creativebloke enhanced on iPhone with Plastic BulletIf you have an iPhone and you use it to take pictures and you haven’t got Plastic Bullet yet - why not, it makes a shabbyish camera on a phone into a creative roulette wheel of image possibilities. and for just over a quid its a fricking steal.

Photo Tip of Today : Bottles : Sometimes you have a good excuse


Bottles, originally uploaded by creativebloke.

Excuse the hiatus in posting, but Mrs Creativebloke just gave birth to creativebloke jnr. Both are doing great, and therefore for a couple of weeks, creativebloke is on pause.

Photo Tip of Today : sheep through old glass - framing


sheep through old glass, originally uploaded by creativebloke.

This is another one from my shoot at Jack and Jill last weekend. The original glass smears the field beyond in a really interesting way. And there are enough highlights from the frame inside the windmill to pad the rest of the image. It was quite a contortion to get into the right position due to the ceiling height but it was worth it. :)

Photo Tip of Today : blown out on jack and jill - bad doesn't mean bad


blown out on jack and jill, originally uploaded by creativebloke.

look at this shot of Simon, one of the lead volunteers up at http://www.jillwindmill.org.uk/, in every technical way this is a bad picture caused by me not paying attention, but in every other way i love it because of the expression on Simon’s face. Remember the only time a photo is broken is if you didn’t like it.
