Mobile Movies Showcase – Week 2 – By Donna Donato
Welcome back to our second article in our fabulous new Column, Mobile Movies curated by myself. We have been inspired by the Flickr upgrade of 1 Terabyte of storage for everyone and have been wanting to launch a mobile movie section for some time. Now seems to be perfect, the new Flickr upgrade will allow for a full 3 minutes of 1080p HD quality video per single film and you can have as many as you have storage space for. Each week I (you can find me on Flickr here) will curate the movie uploads to our new Flickr group – MobileMoviesTheAppWhisperer – I will view all the videos uploaded…

Tabletop Tutorial: Documenting Your Day With Joby Grip Tight Gorillapod And Grip Tight Micro Stands
If you use your mobile phone to photograph food, or make cookery/crafting demos and tutorials, then at some point, you may face the dilemma of where to position the phone to get the best shots. The obvious place is directly above the table, but whilst climbing up and down, to and from your table top might be great exercise, it’s time consuming, potentially damaging to your furniture and props, and not great from a Health and Safety perspective. In this tutorial, I’m going to show you how I approached the challenge, with the help of two very useful JOBY products: the GripTight Gorilla Pod Stand and the GripTight Micro Stand.…
Gray’s Anatomy – The Royal Society for iPhoneographers – By Richard Gray
There’s a huge building on London’s very salubrious Piccadilly which used to be the home of the Royal Institute for Painters in Water Colors. I know this because the words “The Royal Institute for Painters in Water Colors” are written in large stone letters across the top of the building. People sometimes say of something they’re not quite sure about: it’s not set in stone. The Painters in Water Colors were obviously quite sure of themselves when they moved in and so they decided, yes, let’s set the name in stone. Or perhaps their decision was motivated more by their determination to be considered a serious art form. The Royal…

A Picture’s Worth – With Lisa Waddell
A Picture’s Worth… is where we ask mobile photographers that have taken or made, as the case may be, powerful mobile art to explain the processes they took. This includes their initial thoughts as to what they wanted to create, why they wanted to create it, how they created it, including all apps used and what they wanted to convey. We also ask these incredible artists to explain their emotions and how the image projects those feelings. We have published a few A Picture’s Worth articles recently, if you have missed those – please go here. In this A Picture’s Worth today Lisa Waddell discusses her image ‘From The Depth…
VSCO Cam – Now Available! – Find Out More About VSCO Grid Here
Well the developers have been teasing us long enough and now it’s time to download this fabulous app, that they are billing as ‘The standard of Mobile Photography’. The sample images that we have seen are incredibly impressive. There’s an incredibly interesting feature, perhaps above the others, which are impressive in their own right but one thing that really grabs our interest is the VSCO Grid which allows your images to be shown in a grid format within the app and online. You can share the images but there are no ‘likes’ or ‘comments’ areas, instead the developers want this to function solely as a gallery space and are adamant…
