Instagram - iPhoneography

One of the things that happens when you are a professional photographer is that you can get a little bogged down in the day to day photo taking. Don't get me wrong, I love shooting. I can't think of anything more fun, but there are times when you just don't want to carry all your gear. There are also times when it's not appropriate to have thousands of dollars of camera equipment hanging on your neck. In those cases I would normally just not have a camera. However, what if something happens? What if that great shot happens to be there and your camera isn't?

It's no secret that the iPhone is a popular camera. It's a device I always have with me. It not not be the most stellar camera from a quality stand point, but it can sure be fun. With a lot of the photo apps out there now, taking iPhone photos, or iPhonography as the hipsters call it can be a blast! It helps keep me out of the rut and taking photos that are for me and just for fun, verses taking them for a client.

So over the last few months I've been shooting a lot of iPhone photos with a local group that meets to hangout and take photos with their iPhones and post them using social photography app called Instagram. Instagram allows you to take a photo, apply some fun effects and post to social networking sites like twitter and facebook. As well as posting the photo to Instagram where fellow users can comment and like it.

For all of my iPhoneography you can view the gallery, but here are a few of my favorites from the last few weeks.
