Out and about with my iPhone
We live in an age of instantaneous photography. Most of us now have a mobile phone complete with camera. I’ve been used to an iPhone 3GS and the results have been ok. But with the new iPhone 4GS camera, the results I can achieve are every bit as good as the photographs I am used to taking with my pocketable Sony cybershot. The upshot of all this is that we can now capture the unexpected sights and sensations which we come across on an ordinary day. Below I am posting a few photographs which I have taken over the last few months, just off the cuff, when I saw something beautiful and unexpected. Some are iphone 3, some are iphone 4, but all of them capture something instantaneously discovered during every day life.
