Project 365 – Week 4

So this past week has been incredibly busy for me, I’m not quite sure I saw much daylight over the week. As a result my 365 project took a backseat much to my dismay. Over the corse of the week I was only able to snap 2 decent photos with my iPhone. Again the whole Flickr set is here and the photos are after the jump. Here are weeks 1, 2, & 3.

Project 365 – Week 3

So I know this post is a week late, but things have been hectic, and missed some photos. But here they are from week 3 of my 365 project. As always the entire Flick set is here.

iPhone 3Gs

Finally decided to take the plunge over the weekend and upgrade my iPhone 3G to the 3Gs!!!

I had become so frustrated with the speed of the 3G. Hopefully, the 3Gs will be significantly faster. So thats my new toy to play with. I’m looking forward to a better camera. Ideally, it may be able to replace a point and shoot.

Week 2 – Project 365

Here’s the photos from week 2 of my 365 project. Overall, I’m finding it difficult to work in time during daylight hours or when I have available to take a photo. So there’s a lot of shots in similar locations. This right now is my biggest goal. Here’s week 1\’s post, and here you can find the entire flickr set.

iPhone rant #2

Continuing my rants about the iPhone (which I still love, it’s a sort of love hate thing). In most all native apps the screen changes to landscape view at the slightest hand gesture sideways but it seems nearly impossible to get the screen back to portrait orientation. Come on Apple! either make it just as sensitive to switching back to portrait or let me disable landscape view. This happens to me at least half a dozen times a day.

Photo library management: iPhoto and Aperture?

I am looking for input here. Presently I organize my photo libraries (yes two) using Aperture and iPhoto.

I use iPhoto primarily for what  I consider personal shots (shots w/ friends, family, camera phone etc) mostly because I had the library organized the way I wanted using folders and, when I first moved to a Mac, iPhoto understood this organization. I use Aperture for more what I consider my photo projects which has become the lion share of current photos taken.

Week 1 – 365 project

First week of my 365 project is done. It was actually a bit more difficult than I initially expected. Some days it’s just really hard to find time to take just one picture. Its a good thing I did not rule out using my iPhone since a few of this weeks shots were snapped with it (this makes me really want the 3GS for the auto focus).  I also did not rule out any post production, which two of the photos have. I’m still how I feel about using any post production in this challenge, but for now I’ll allow it. Feel free to let me know what you think. Below are the shots (click to enlarge) or visit the Flickr set.
