ShutterCal Daily Photo Project – ShoeBox and Printed Cards
Feb 18th
In my previous post about ShutterCal I said I’d ordered the monthly photo package and the ShoeBox to store them in, I also said I would write a post once they had arrived.. well they arrived!
The ShoeBox comes in another larger box, this was actually my second one. The first got pretty much destroyed in transit! The Guys at ShutterCal sent a replacement free of charge. Super cool.
The photos come separately in a small cardboard envelope. They arrived in perfect condition. The reason for this post is really to show what the photos look like close up and possibly answer a few questions you might have about them.. for example how big are they, do the photos get cropped to fit the square card etc..
First off let me say that the quality of these prints is exceptional. I haven’t printed photos taken from my iPhone before so I was a little unsure if they would look any good.
Below are all 31 printed images from January stacked. (I’m quite pleased I found this site in time to start the project on the 1/1/11. All those 1s look kinda cool.)

Waste Studio
Feb 6th
Waste is a small graphic design and screen printing studio based in Nottingham. They have been developing their new website for some time and now it’s finally gone live! Go check out their work! The site also features some of my photos. All looks superduper especially on a large screen.
Shuttercal.com – My 365 Daily Photo Project – Month One
Feb 1st
Ever since I got my first iPhone back in ‘07 I’ve tried to take a regular picture of what I was up to. Really this was just for my own personal record and the photos weren’t really all that great. Over the past year or so since I got my DLSR and I started to take a real interest in photography. I have noticed that I was taking more photos with greater consideration. With the new iPhone 4 picture quality is actually very impressive and in the right conditions it can produce some very nice photos. Because I now have a camera with me all the time I thought I would experiment by taking one photo daily. I roughly started this in September ‘10. I kept doing this for about 3 months during this time I was trying to think of ways I could keep an organised record of it. I wanted to have it online somewhere so it would be backed up and I could show other people what I’ve been up to.
More after the break…
Editing Marathon
Jan 26th
I spent the last weekend blasting through more Snowsports DVD. On the Sunday my friend Alex (who designed all the branding) came over to help with the editing and work on his intro animation. Over all I recon I’m over half way done. The total length of the main section so far is around 20 min. There is plenty of spare footage that will go in the extras. On average there’s around 1 hour of footage per day that needs to be cut down to around 3 min! It’s a long and some times boring task, however once a section is finished its pretty rewarding.
While we were editing I set up a little time-lapse. It’s over about a 7 hour period. We found 13 hats around the house that we put on and changed every 10 min… just for the hell of it.
Here are some more screen grabs from the footage I’ve done so far.
It’s all coming together quite nicely! I cant wait to reveal it all soon 
Stereographic Fun Time
Jan 26th
I found some more photos from my recent trip to the French Alps that needed editing. I had a bit of spare time last night so I got to work.
The First one below was a fairly easy job. There was minimal tweaking the only thing I had to remove from the stitched images was my shadow. This was really easy with this shot because snow is dead easy to clone with out being noticeable.
The second image on the other hand was a real mission! I got 8 friends to stand around me while I took the photos. This was a similar concept to this photo I took a few months back. It’s always difficult to take stereographic photos with close subjects because of parallax errors that occur between the shots.
