Springdale Nevada

Springdale Ghost Town


These are my final images for the Smart Phone Imaging class. 
I took these with my iPhone 4S, using the Hipstamatic app. 
Springdale is an interesting place. Not many people get to see it, as it's privately owned now by a friend of ours. I always get a kick out of photographing the area because it has a lot of history. The buildings are slowly deteriorating over time, so I'm trying to capture some of them before the "fall." It covers over 400 acres, so I don't think I'll run out of things to photograph for a while.

The Winery

Winery in Loomis, California

Went to a winery on the way home from the Apple Fest in California-on the way back to Reno. The land is pretty parched right now, looks like CA could really use some rain..

 

 

 

 

Making money with your iPhone

There are some sites out there where you can experiment with selling your iPhone images. Here's one of them: http://foap.com/



I have mixed feelings about this. On the one hand, I guess there's some potential to make a little money, on the other hand you're selling your photos for a pittance, and the market is flooded with cheap stock photography. Also, with sites like iStockphoto.com and others like it, at the very least you need a model release for photos of people.


Any thoughts on this?

Chinatown

Some shots I took while cruising through Chinatown. These were all edited in Snapseed for basic adjustments, then added frames and a grunge effect.
