Thats really nice.

Oh yeah, via an app called CrossProcess, think it just ups the contrast and adds a bit of vignetting.

From my holiday recently:

That's the Thames, I missed the really sweet moment when the sun lit the whole thing. You can see glimpses of it in Richmond sort of area, then the city, Isle of Dogs, and out to sea...

Waiting for the Woolwich Ferry, iPhone 4 with CrossProcess:

I need to get an i4

CG my friend, you're blowing your chances of winning the TRAVEL themed section of the to-be-launched competition. ;)

Good. More chances for the rest of us.

Also looks like it pulls the black point in the blue channel.

Ive only ever had two phones with camera's on them. They were both cheap phones. My samsung cost £15 payg, but it had cashback deal so I basically got it for £5.

This was 2-3 years ago.

So yeah, you can get some decent pictures out of a cheap old camera phone. The same way you can out of a disposable film camera, even though it is so easy to go wrong.

You just have to understand that the camera has specific distance from subject, lighting etc that will result in the optimum image.

For cheap fixed digital camera's like in phones, this usually means good sunlight, but no shiny/white things or it will look bleached. Just before sunset is a great time to get some nice colour in a picture on a shit camera. Utilising macro setting, will also make your pics look almost like they were taken through a real camera. If you get your focus sharp enough on you subject (like the butterfly in this pic) it will really "pop" which is rare to see on fixed focus cameraphone which typically has a very (broad?) depth of field which makes pictures look flat.

is this yours then?

not sure if I posted this before

anyone?

from a few days back:

iphone 4 with a slight tweak in one of the photo apps, forget which...

edit: and it looks like the flickr update may have broken the link to the landscape that was came in for some unexpected praise earlier in the thread, not sure what that's about. Not sure if I need to change anything in flickr to sort or not but here is it anyway:

From my old iphone3 - last summer, plenty of fields and summer storms:

is this yours then?

No but I do have a wide angle lens on my proper camera (Lumix LX3, FYI)

coppiThat will not be amused. ^^^^^^^

Why's that?
