I've called this photo "Flying the Flag"

On my flight to PMA 2010 I took several photos as the plane began to descend in to LAX.  As you can imaging trying to keep the iPhone level was impossible, and so the following photo was the result.

So how did I get from this photo to the one i've called "Flying the Union Jack"?

First I used Straighten Image, to, you guessed it, straighten up the photo.

Then I used ColorSplash, bringing back the colour of the Union Jack on the wing tip of the Virgin Atlantic flight, before finally processing it in CameraBag, using the Colorcross filter.

And so that's how I created my photo, so if you would like to share your photo with the rest of us, then send me an email and I'll reply with details on how to submit.

I noticed this strip of plastic on the sidewalk and thought it would be an interesting image to work with. It pays to look down sometimes.

First I processed the photo with Perfectly Clear, which I use for almost every image I shoot, and has become one of my favorite apps. Next I used PS Mobile's Vibrant effect, which I like because it isn't too harsh. Then I used FX Photo Studio Simmetry Quad filter, and finally I finished off the photo with CameraBag's Magazine effect to produce the photo below.

If you would like to share your "how to" photo, then send me an email, and I will email back details on how to submit your photo to the blog.

Following on from the success of "The iPhoneography Showcase of..." series and following comments about Steven Mc Garr showcase, I am introducing a new feature to the blog.

This new feature will be called "My photo, by...", and its aim is to share details on where and how a photo was taken and created.

To get the ball rolling, here is my photo titled "Soldiers Bride"

Back in September 2009 my wife and I went to London for a short break. At the time it was London Fashion week, and one day whilst walking through Horse Guards Parade we spotted a group of people and an attractive lady wearing a wedding dress, so decided to stop and see what was going on.  I was a little confused that there seemed to be no groom, as I thought this was a wedding day shoot, and even more confused when she walked up to the guard and began to pose. Then the penny dropped, of course it was fashion week, and I had just stumbled across a fashion shoot, and so as this was in a public place I grabbed my iPhone and snapped away.

I was quite chuffed that I'd stumbled across this photo shoot, but of course new that the shots would not be that good as I would have liked, as I could not get very close to the model.

Anyway that's how the photo came to be, and here is how it went from this...

...to the final photo the "Soldiers Bride".

I took the original photo (which was shot on my iPhone 3G) and cropped it using Cropulator. Then because I new by cropping the photo it was going to affect the image sharpness, I loaded it in to Tiffen Photo fx and applied a Soft/FX filter to soften to photo, before finally loading it in to CameraBag and applying the Magazine effect.

If you want to see more of the "Soldiers Bride" or my other CamerBag shots, then check out My CameraBag Tumblr site.

So this is how I got my shot. If you would like to share your shot with the rest of us, then send me an email and I'll reply with details on how to submit.
