I tested this iphone apps call TiltShiftGen and the outcome is amzing. Take a look at images I took. Although it limits some function but overall results is great for a $0.99 compare to a tilt shift lens and CS4 software budget. Try it out with your Iphone and you be amazed.

Railway Station in Helsinki, Finland

When I shot this picture, it was really dull with overcast clouds and dull toned. Lucky had it bracket and in raw. Another post process using Qtpfsgui and GIMP software. Love this two open source software. Helsinki railway station is one of their main attraction since most commuters will end up here either for work or leisure.

High Dynamic Rendition (HDR)

Previous post I wrote about Dave Hill effects http://www.davehillphoto.com/

I have been trying on some of my images and apparently it is quite tedious to execute. And when I make some mistake, I need to repeat the process back and this will take most of my time. Being an employed person during the day and spending 10 hours at work, all this time consuming post editing will not help my progress in photography

But recently as I was browsing, I stumble upon this blog http://garmahis.com/tutorials/hdr-tutorial-free-software/ that actually has a much simpler way to do it. The result is also quite satisfying too. I was recently given the assigment to photograph my brother's newborn daughter for her first 3 months celebration. We call this "Majlis Cukur Rambut" which is basically her first haircut and blessing. So this is so call my first attempt and publishing of HDR images. 

But before you actually start doing this experiment, you need to download this software. Click below:
