Andy Royston - February 2013 Portfolio

Feb13andyroyston

February is very much the in-season for tourism in our region yet the shoreline can be quite changeable. The gulls are still keen and eager but there’s little fish to be had - the annual mullet migrations are all done.

Another favorite along the shoreline is the pelican, but they too are a rarer sign at this time of year. From a photography standpoint its time to be inventive and look for different ways to capture the morning light. A great milestone was reached this month as the Twitter account for FtLauderdaleSun reached its 10,000th follower. For a purely photographic account this is indeed auspicious. I have supported the project with other social media outlets (inclding a strong showing at Facebook) but good old fashioned Twitter still remains the heart of my sharing.A N D Y R O Y S T O N

iPhone Art

iPhoneography, or mobile photography, is visual art created, edited and produced entirely on iPhone.

The device is the common denominator of a growing global network of photographers, artists and individuals who have embraced the limited capabilities and have found enormous common ground artistically. Artists the world over have put aside their bigger cameras to enter this amazing social photography scene.

Fort Lauderdale in February retains those cooling ocean breezes

All tangledup...In January the iPhone app buzz was all around Hipstamatic’s Tintype release. This month the buzz is all around TangledFX which creates a series of painterly effects that are all completely controllable. I’ve been giving it a spin...

This publication of iPhone photographs -

all a part of an emerging digital artform

known as iPhoneography - were all taken

and edited on Ft. Lauderdale Beach or Las

Olas Boulevard using the iPhone3GS and

iPhone4 by Andy Royston.

iPhoneography (or mobile photography)

is a new and popular photographic

medium, that combines a camera, a set of

applications that process and edit these

images and a means to share in real time

to social media and website communities.

Artists and photographers have realized

that the shared limitations of a globally

available mobile device create a level

playing field for creativity. The resulting

outburst of visuals via Instagram,

Facebook, Twitter, Eye’em and a myriad

of website and photoblogs have together

created a new global renaissance in the

photographic arts.

If you want a particular image as an art print

email us:fls@tropicalsundesign.comor call 954-850-7448

Our Prints All prints are printed on museum-quality paper, authentic giclee inks which combination gives a longevity of over 100 years in normal lighting conditions.

They are hand numbered and signed by the artist.

Pigment printing processes have been utilized since the middle of the 19th century. The image stability of pigment printing is superior to that of any other method of printing, including traditional silver-halide or metal-based.

Digital inkjet printing has seen a surge in the use of the pigment ink as ink sets have been refined to be compatible with the latest in high-resolution inkjet technology.

A digital pigment print, sometimes referred to as a pigmented paper print, is a digital image rendered onto an uncoated, natural fiber substrate with pigment inks.

Custom sizing and framing quotes are available.

Yes, we print...You can own any of the images published here in a high quality giclée print
