Mobile Phone Picture of the Day

Mobile phones can take some good and some bad photos, some of them are pretty interesting...it's the camera you always have with you. Post your interesting shots here.

Hearst Tower in Charlotte NC - the light was very good for this picture!

A few of my friend's cat JD - that's Muffin in the background

Yeah, I would agree that the camera you have is better than any camera you didn't bring when the right moment comes along. I'm pretty impressed w/ images I've seen from the new iPhone. It's probably the one real advantage I think it has over my EVO. (The EVO camera seems to have a lot of shutter lag, the images are pretty noisy in low light and the flash is worthless.) That Hipstamatic app for the iPhone is cool, but It seems like a fad that will play itself out.

Even though I've been a pro photographer for 25 years, I've never been much of a 'snapshooter'. I'm too much of a control freak who has to plan out shots ahead of time, so I was never one to carry around a camera all the time.

Still, there were a few times I wish I'd had something like my camera phone, like the when I saw a guy driving a mid 80's Monte Carlo, who wanted the low rider look, w/ the tiny wheels, but must have been on a budget so was running 4 temporary spares,

or the time I saw this old timer, riding a stingray type bicycle w/ an extended fork, while smoking a cigarette and wearing a Cleveland Browns football helmet!

The scene at AC HQ this morning...

(iPhone 3Gs)

Wow I had no idea AC required so many trees to stay online!

I didn't get any response to my thread, but these were taken on my iphone 4.

So this is apparently what happens when you put down kitty litter to soak up oil stains, but instead it it snows then melts, then freezes overnight.

notice that the rocks seem to be suspended by the long arcs of ice. Just plain weird.

I'm pretty sure it's production. Not sure only have seen one R8 and this being the first Spyder.

This one was a concept.

Hey John, weren't you looking for a car? How about the nice red one? You know, brownie points and all. he he

Pez, that's really cool. Is that kitty litter or a pile of small stones?
Apparently the freeze pushed the water out of the kitty litter??????

Looks very similar to the Fisker Karma I worked on last year. I Like it a lot!!!

I got it at O'Reily's. The bag says it's for soaking up oil stains AND kitty litter. As far as what phenomenon would push the moisture upward like that, I have no clue. The only guess I have is that something in the dust or rocks allows the water to travel upward similar to osmosis in plants.

Pez, pretty cool

Here's one I took a while back with my Sprint Evo

Pez · « **Reply #12 on:** 19 Mar 2011, 03:17 am »

Damn... That's a helluva shot regardless of what you took it with. Very nice! I'll have to dig up my butterflies photo.

MaxCast · « **Reply #13 on:** 19 Mar 2011, 03:19 am »

motorcitym3,
It sure resembles the Fiskars, however, it was an Infinity

Pez · « **Reply #14 on:** 19 Mar 2011, 03:24 am »

Loving the cars! Wish I didn't have 5 money sucking hobbies already otherwise I might be able to afford a decent vehicle.

Found that butterfly photo. Again taken with me iPhone 4

Pez · « **Reply #15 on:** 19 Mar 2011, 03:35 am »

Here's another one I did...

Sort of impressionistic because of the lighting during the time of day and the fact that I used digital zoom. I was amazed that it turned out this way, I expected it to look really terrible, but instead it looks surreal and serene. Funniest part, it's at a gas station parking lot.

Pez I was going to ask about this in the other thread but my mind was occupied with something complicated...that is truly bizarre and requires a scientific explanation. There must be some way to make money from this...discovery? i mean how many people have seen this effect? I think it looked like a very high shutter speed to my mind at first. How much elapsed time between each photo?

An example of "The Matrix effect"

The glass door of the restaurant was a double-pane - the outer sheet of glass had this flaw. Hard to believe it passed quality assurance check at he plant?

Took a few shots on the 3GS to get this right.
