I used to turn my nose up at the idea of photos taken on mobile devices – it’s not pure photography, it’s too easy to turn a boring image into something ‘cool’.
But with a little time I’ve since had to admit, it’s way too much fun. All that blurring and vignetting of the corners is somewhat addicting.
Often my iPhone 4’s tilt shift generator app finds itself used at photo assignments – only after the responsibilities for the paper are met of course, should any of my editors be reading this.

The house fire tilt shift is my favourite. Makes me think I need to download this app too.
