iPhone Photography: I Give Up

I don't like it.

My iPhone 100 project has been hanging around like a bad smell and annoying the bejeezus out of me. So I’ve decided I’m bowing out with a whimper…

iPhone 100: #2 & #3

I’ve got another iPhone 100 post for you today – and this time I’ve made it a double. Can you guess what they are? Do they remind you of anything?

iPhone 100: #1

My first post of the iPhone 100 project. I actually took this a while ago, but hey, it meets the criteria! I took this photo just before I got into the car after leaving work one evening. For many weeks of the year I’m treated to beautiful skies while I’m driving, only to be frustrated at not being able to photograph them!

What I like about this shot is, of course, the colours. Cameras seldom record the vividness of what you see with the eye so I tweaked it a little (on the phone of course) and this is very close to how the sky actually appeared. Composition is ok, although a bit cluttered on the right hand side. If I shot this again I would perhaps try a vertical composition to see if that helped.

So that’s it, the ball is rolling! Only 99 more to go.

Thanks for looking!

Contrived mug shot

You don’t have to look very far before you find someone in the midst of a photo challenge – Project 52, a picture a day, 10 photos within 10 feet etc. but I can’t decided whether I like the idea or not. Yes, it’s great to work towards a goal and anything that gets you taking photos is (mostly) a good thing, but often I read snippets like “oh I got in late from work, it’s 11:30pm so here is my photo of the day…” and you get a mug of hot chocolate shot at f/1.4 with some out of focus stripy bed socks…
