Photo Impressionism and Iphoneography

More than film to digital, more than anything, Camera phones have changed the essence of photography.  They are immediate: the camera you have with you. They are designed for sharing and are easily connected into active social networks like Twitter and Instagram. In the case of the iPhone, it has a rich tool set.

I was late to join the iphoneography revolution. I still think of my iPhone as my sketch pad while my DSLR is my paint brush.

This gallery contains some of my favourite examples of photo impressionism with the iPhone. Most are slow shutter images taken using the Slow Shutter Cam app.
