The last couple of weeks have been a flurry of activity here in the Italian Dolomites, both personal and work. We have had a number of assignments around which we have spent time doing our own thing at the usual frantic summer pace; mountain running and cycling.
All our images get downloaded into a computer to an incoming folder, and from there they are separated into either a Work or Fun category. Fun being primarily from the iPhone or outtakes from photoshoots.Work is work; clean, sometimes produced, sometimes from the hip.
Today I began cleaning out the folders as we have processed the jobs and the workflow is complete. There, side by side, was two weeks of work vs. fun. Beyond the quality of the pixels themselves, I was happy to see that we have brought together everything we do, our work is much the same as what we do anyway. I thought it interesting to compare them.
Fun iPhone…
Work Digital SLR…

Beautiful work, as always!
Yep, gotta admit, cows are fun to make pics of.
How lucky to be doing something you love! these are fantastic.
Great photos… I loved that photo which showed you eating macaroni… very impressive 🙂

What a great post! Really shows us photographers that we can make a living doing what we love to do! Thanks!
Spectacular stuff. Neat to see the work vs. fun photos. My favorite is the second one from the bottom, with the two hikers in the foreground walking under a rock outcropping. Great photos, man!
Very nice, great shots.
Hiking through those beautiful places must have been a wonderful experience. Assuming this is not something you do often, I don’t doubt that you’ll remember an adventure like this for years to come.

oh my oh my! ur photos look great! I need tips!
I bet they had to cook those spaghetti noodles according to the “high altitude” instructions. You don’t have to do that around here.

Wow! Beautiful pictures.
I like your pictures. So what is the difference between “work” and “fun”? Both look pretty cool to me.
Those are great – the air just looks fresher there!
These pics are super nice
Either way they are really good!
Great post, very informative. Keep up the good work, Thanks.
Breathtaking photos! Thanks for sharing!
cool!
Love the first “Fun iPhone” photo.
All amazing photos – work or fun regardless. I visited the Italian Dolomites a couple of years ago in summer time and they provided some of my favourite travel photos to date!
Great pics! I love the cow!
Great shots – the comparison is interesting – especially with that third iPhone photo – at first glance, I’d think it’s from an SLR.
I might have to get an iPhone 4 after all in order to be a companion to my Nikon…
Thanks to everyone who posted a comment, fun to read – hopefully our pics inspired.
What I learned was that it is not about the image quality, it is about the feel of the image that is most important – so no matter if you have an iPhone, a point and shoot or a big, expensive pro body, just make lots and lots of photos of what you enjoy and what inspires you.
Nice photos! I especially like the close-up of Betsy (cow) lol but all the shots are beautiful 🙂
Fun photos. Thanks for sharing

I especially liked the 2nd and 3rd pictures from top. It’s because I enjoy how there is an athlete with the background of mountains.

I like the idea of having fun while on the job. If a job isn’t fun than why do it? haha Good job 😀
I prefer your fun photos!!!!! 😀

both pictures seemed fun pictures 2 me :-p anyway they were all so beautiful; i love landscape photography
wow stunning!
breath-taking
wow. Those pictures are really beautiful. Stunning 🙂 Good Job!
that’s amazing! 🙂 great job there!
I lived in Italy and used to drive quite often on E45 Verona – Bolzano – Innsbruck but I didn’t know these beautiful mountains exist. The 6th and the 10th are really really amazing. These could be better than many postcards. Or are they postcards?
I run myself and these photos really capture the beauty of running. Sometimes people don’t understand why people run, but these photos do a good job of showing how peaceful it really can be! Great job.
Do you post process the iphone imagse or use some kind of effects app?
I use Photogene, Tilt Shift Gen and Camera Bag, do most in the phone and post to our Twitter feed on the fly
Hi. Lovely photos, I love the fun iPhone pics. 🙂 Very nice.
Great comparison, nice to see that picture quality with iphone wow
I love the photos, whatever category it belongs, it was great. Nice!
Great Pictures. These are something definitely places to visit to take some time off.
Great photos!
The scenery is very beautiful. I would love to visit these places!
It’s interesting how you compared the fun photos vs work photos.
Do you post process the iphone imagse or use some kind of effects app?
We primarily process them in camera, 95% of the time, but occasionally I’ll twaek something with a desktop using PS
A total of wonderful pictures
They all look like fun photos to me! I very much enjoyed the shot of the cow and the guy eating – nice distortion from the wider angle there.
How did you get to shoot in croatia? I loved croatia while I was there, but I was there to lay on a boat and relax, not shoot. I’d probably prefer to be shooting though!
Kris, we just went to Craotia for a fun trip, do some climbing, make some photos, relax. The place is superb. We actually have a new post up at our DolomiteSport about it: http://dolomitesport.com
Great shots. Photography is more within the eye of the camera holder – some see a photo and need to snap the picture, others just take pictures. Well done whether work or fun.
Nice photos. Great post. Thanks for sharing
