This workshop has been updated to reflect new applications and processes introduced in recent months, including the incredible new camera app, 645 Pro. Even if you participated in this workshop before, you'll find new information and techniques shared this time around. I hope you'll join us for another full day of learning and spooky fun! --Rad

Agenda

The Possibilities
We'll explore iPhone images to show what is possible with the iPhone and available apps.  You'll see (and soon be creating!) images that will make you question in disbelief, "Are you SURE that was done with an iPhone?!"

The Camera Applications
We'll examine camera applications that allow you to take a variety of different types of images and improve the quality of your photographs. For example, you'll learn to take High Dynamic Range (HDR) images which capture the range of light and dark that we see with our eyes, leading to greatly improved images from an exposure standpoint.

Applying Filters
Use applications to enhance your images to achieve your unique vision. We'll explore applications that will allow you to "grunge" and age your images, apply painterly effects, and add vignette's and borders.

Blending and Stitching Images
The real excitement comes from combining one or more images to create extraordinary effects. You'll learn which apps are best for blending and how to stitch multiple images into fantastic panoramas that incorporate HDR. You'll learn three different methods for creating stunning multiple-shot HDR images.

Basic Tips and Tricks
The workshop will be filled with tips and tricks that include the following:
  1. What apps and equipment do I need?
  2. How do I organize my applications?
  3. How do I maximize my iPhone's performance?
  4. How can I extend my iPhone's shooting time?
  5. How do I ensure the best possible resolution for my images?
  6. How do I transfer images from the iPhone to my computer or iPad?
Continued Learning
Because of the rapid evolution of this exciting technology, keeping up can be a challenge. You'll get answers to the following questions:
  • Where can I see other iPhoneographer's work?
  • Who are some good teachers for advanced learning?
  • What sites are best for keeping up with the new apps?
  • Who are some of the leading iPhoneographers today?
