Typical, turbulent North Texas sky in the spring. Always inspiring to me when I see it.

So, today marks the beginning of a new post series on this blog. Once a week I will post a photo that was shot and edited entirely with my iPhone. This week’s photo was captured in Arlington’s first cemetery during February’s historic snow storm that dumped a foot of snow on the Dallas/Fort Worth metroplex.

Below can be found a few photos from my iPhone library. Of course, that means these photos were also shot and edited with my iPhone. I’ll let the photos speak for themselves, but I will assert that I do intend to explore serious, professional-level photography using my iPhone more going forward.

Above is a photo of the Studio Movie Grill in the Arlington Highlands. Photo was shot and edited with the MoreLomo iPhone app.

Above is a view of one of the two building that are the Radio Shack Corporate Headquarters, as seen from the 6th floor of the parking garage. Photo was captured with the ProCamera iPhone app, and the tilt/shift effect was created with the TiltShiftGen iPhone app.

Finally, above is a gorgeous sunset photo that I stopped to capture while driving to get some food on my dinner break a few weeks ago. Photo was captured with the ProCamera app, contrast adjusted with the Photoshop.com app, and finished with the MoreLomo app.

One note, the sunset photo, above, is a great example of why I’d like to continue to shoot with my iPhone as a viable professional imaging tool. Yes, I do usually leave my older, original Canon Rebel XT digital SLR with a cheap-o 50mm f/1.8 lens attached, in my truck so that I have an SLR with me most of the time. However, not all people do this, in which case using what you have is required. In fact, most of the time, I’d prefer to just shoot a scene with my iPhone rather than fiddle with the DSLR, especially during times when I’m rushed, such as the above case.

At any rate, I believe that the iPhone is a very worthy tool, capable of producing compelling, artistic images that are easily edited and finished with any number of the great, available image editing tools for the iPhone.
