The second installment of my iPhone photo project

Incoming train

I believe I went one day without uploading an iPhone photo to my Facebook page since I posted the first installment of photos last week.

Some, of course, have been better than others. Many don’t even get posted. The ones that follow are my favorites of the second bunch.

Besides the challenge of shooting with a highly limited camera, I really enjoy not having to download photos on my computer and go through the whole processing phase, which can get burdensome, especially considering I shoot everything in RAW.

Not to say these don’t go through any processing. I use iPhone apps for basic processing. I usually use Best Camera but have also been experimenting with PS Mobile, Camera Bag and a few others. But processing here takes a few seconds because it never leaves my iPhone.

Tell me which ones you like best.

I should be getting a Nokia n900 here in a month or two, and i might start taking a lot of pictures as well; it has a 5mp camera with a glass lens.

Why is the iphone’s 3mp camera so “limited”?
No flash or something? or is it just your standard run of the mill point and shoot with very little options to adjust exposure and whatnot?

I’ve never even used an iphone or ipod touch so i have no frame of reference.

What an eye.

Would it surprise you that I like the bloggers and boobs photo best?

“Boundaries” is my choice. “Texting” is a close second.

Nice shots. How many times did you get hassled for the first one?

Genewitch,

The iPhone is limited compared to my Canon 5Ds.

It also doesn’t have a flash, so it’s limited compared to other point and shoots.

But because it doesn’t have a flash, it really forces you to find the light, which ultimately result in better photos.

Richard,

Thanks for the feedback.

The individual woman is required... a thousand times a day to choose either to accept her appointed role and thereby rescue her good disposition out of the wreckage of her self-respect, or else follow an independent line of behavior and rescue her self-respect out of the wreckage of her good disposition.It is well observed by Rankin.

xdamousex,

Surprisingly, I haven’t been harassed yet for taking photos with my iPhone although I was expecting to get harassed a couple of times, including the top shot of the train and the ones near the airport fence.

I wasn’t trespassing on either one but that has never stopped authorities before.

In fact, a security guard even drove on the inside of the fence of the airport and saw me standing there, which required me to cross several train tracks, and didn’t even slow down or anything.

Now I wonder how they will act if I return to the same spot with my two Canon 5Ds and telephoto lens.

carlos: If you are standing around near a fence at LAX you’ll have a cop harassing you nearly instantly (under a minute the two times we did it post 9/11).

Haven’t tried at long beach international (although they have a ton of cops too and it’s smaller) or santa ana/john wayne.

and it’s not security, it’s full blown LAPD or sheriffs (or whatever subsidiary works just at the airport).

You know what they say, the best camera is the one you have on you.

Other than technical considerations, we carry the same rig in appearance and size, Carlos. And, as you know, sometimes it’s bloody inconvenient.

Right now, I’m touring for a bit, and it’s not always practical to use my DSLR in certain situations. So, I’ve got a little iPod nano with video for some of those little candid tour moments.

Hi Carlos, thanks for everything you do; Love the blog.
“Carnival” is the most colourful, really caught my eye. However, my favourite shot is “Flags”, I love the play of light and dark, it really adds a mystique to the whole idea of patriotism.

Flags is #1 and I also like Espirito Santoas well as Texting which is a great example of street photography IMO
