Exploring Pep Ventosa’s ‘In the Round’ using Bluristic Angle Mode
In this post, I explore Bluristic’s lesser-known Angle mode and how it might be used to recreate Pep Ventosa’s ‘In the Round’ technique on an iPhone.
Perhaps I’m just looking for a new angle on the technique! :-)
Mobile ICM - long exposure app comparison test
The mechanism behind long exposure on a standard camera is well understood, but mobile devices operate very differently, producing distinct results.
In this post I attempt to discover how long exposure images are actually created on mobile devices.
Along the way I identify tell-tale signs that not only distinguish mobile long exposures from traditional cameras but also reveal differences between the apps themselves.
Bluristic- understanding capture modes
Previous explorations of the Bluristic app focused on a single capture mode - a deliberate choice that allowed for a more controlled introduction to the app.
In this post, I compare all three capture modes - Blend, Additive, and Negative- not only to highlight their differing characteristics, but to better understand how each can be applied creatively.
Bluristic - reflections
What started as curious exploration of the Bluristic app turned into a far more rewarding creative detour.
This post brings together a collection of my favorite results, alongside images that demonstrate the scope of the application.
Bluristic - train time
Continuing with the Bluristic app, this post explores how mundane subway journeys can be transformed into creative opportunities, turning travel time into a chance for experimentation.
Approaching them this way can make cross-city journeys much more fun and rewarding!
Bluristic - extending the blur - part 3
Earlier entries in this series have looked at the functionality of the Bluristic mobile app and how it fits into my current workflow.
In this post, I explore how an unexpected bug led to a set of new and exciting results - adding another creative option to my toolbox.
Bluristic - extending the blur - part 2
In an earlier post I discussed basic testing of the Bluristic long exposure app.
Here I explore how the app might fare when pushed beyond its designed intentions to recreate some of my more personal techniques.
Bluristic - extending the blur - part 1 addendum
Following contact with the Bluristic developer, this update offers clarity on the tracking function.
As a bonus details are provided for access to the embedded user guide.
Bluristic - extending the blur - part 1
Mobile apps designed for long exposures are nothing new, but I’ve been playing with one that offers something a little different.
In this post, I explore how the app fits within my ICM approach, and where it might add something new to the mix.
Pep goes mobile - round 2
Pep Ventosa’s “In the Round” technique has become a favorite among photographers seeking more artistic expression. But can you achieve similar results without a sophisticated DSLR?
Read on to see the outcomes of my experiments using an iPhone - you might be surprised!
India reimagined
Sometimes, a conflict arises between photographic opportunities and personal obligations. Can the two be balanced with a satisfying outcome?
Read on to see how I navigated this compromise -choosing to prioritize family memories over artistic excellence, along with the results that ensued.
followICM update
What’s more appealing than a free, one-of-a-kind guide to inspire your photography?
How about one that’s been recently updated and featured in a renowned magazine?

finessing the location
This post marks a shift in the followICM technique, moving the primary focus from the subject to the location.
Continue reading to learn the reasoning behind this change and explore a sample of the results.
first looks - intersections
Expanding on the scope of the followICM technique this is an initial look at a project that explores widening the scene to include additional moving elements.
From impressionistic to abstract, join me as I delve into the process of achieving these unpredictable results.
snapgrip review update
Last month I posted about a camera grip accessory I had posted.
Now that I have spent significant time using the device read on for my current thoughts and an important caveat I have come across.
