Still going through my iPhone phase – who knows how long this will last. One of the things I have been trying to do is just let my imagination fly with the work – I have no idea or really care if they work as photos I feel at the moment I just love the enjoyment of creating photographs. I may look back in a year and think ‘…what the hell were you doing?..’ This is always a risk but you can say that about anything creative. You can only be honest to the here and now – the future will have to look after its self.
Now one of the great things about the iPhone camera is that it is just so rubbish. The colour balance is so poor that it throws up some incredible colours. The wild flower shot hasn’t been processed that much – it came out of the camera very much as you see. This is the excitement of the whole process. Of course you could review the photograph on the screen but that would take some of the fun away. Anyway, in bright sun light, as this was, you still won’t get any idea as to what the colour balance is and by then it is too late anyway. In short leave well alone and just see what you’ve get when you get back. Brilliant.
