VSCOgrid

Now, this is made for the iPhotographer. 

The clean simple approach is my favorite. There's no silly likes, remixes, playing favorites. I should mention that they don't restrict sharing with other social platforms. I like that since I use Instagram. They also offer Twitter, Weibo, & Emailing. I personally would like Tumblr but no worries. 

I've been a Livebooks user for years & now that they've been purchased I may move my work to the GRID. To me  VSCOgrid is like owning a fine photography portfolio site. Currently i show 90% of my iPhone work there but I also show my DeadSLR work as well. This is all changing very quickly. 

I love seeing fresh thought out UI but it's more than that. You know I'm not a big "filter" person but VSCO has me even "filtering" anyway here's my GRID if you wanna peep & creep.

iPhone Photography is the iFuture of imaging

Sound a little crazy? Yes? In all honesty many Pro's I know consider it a amateurs camera. There's little seriousness placed into the thought of a iPhone replacing a DSLR camera. For the past 6 months I've been strictly using my iPhone 4/4s & recently iPhone 5 for all my shooting (except once or twice where I used a Canon or Leica.) 
Take a look at this low light example here: 
 
I happened to see this on my way home from dinner the other night. I stopped & captured this with my iPhone system. 
Here's a 100% crop:
I gotta say that's pretty dam good. Not only for a tiny image censor but also the detail that's retained in the pixels.

 My iPhoneography has gotten to the point where I've developed a perfect kit for my style of shooting & developing. One thing I suggest is not to "over app" your image to the point where it appears cartoonish unless that's your artistic taste. 

I was recently in NYC. I wanted to capture a sunrise shot from my rooftop. Let's take a look: 
I couldn't believe the level of detail that I was yet again able to pull. The Dynamic Range is incredible. Sharpness? Oh yea it's there. 
How about a stroll around Los Angeles

Let's go back to NYC. Wonderful place to photograph. 

One World Trade Center. Photographed on my iPhone 5 

Times Square - NYC shot on iPhone5 

Here's a image of the Empire State Building I captured with my iPhone 5. 

I'm continually impressed with the iPhone. My kit is evolving & it's a whole new learning approach to Photography. 
Would love to hear your feedback.
