Photos In Your Pocket

Friend, the quality of your cellphone series photos are really good. I think that increasingly manufacturers of these phones are managing to make leaps and bound in terms of the technology to make such cameras and the images they produce of such high quality.
However, it goes back to your original question… how far can we go? Not that far if we want to practice ‘proper’ fotography… can’t change exposure time, can’t light meter, can’t do bracketing, can’t take macro shots… the list goes on. But when I say ‘proper’ photography, one can argue that a form of and indeed an essential type of fotography is photo-journalism and capturing the ‘decisive moment’ to quote the main man Henri Cartier-Bresson himself…
..and that’s the beauty of these sometime frustrating add ons to what is essentially meant to be a tool for communication… we can have to hand a tool to capture something that we wouldn’t otherwise a) because we wouldn’t have the SLR to hand, or b) because it was quicker and easier to use this little thing.

So, yeh. End of observation.

But in terms of the pictures you have captured, I am amazed at how well these have turned out. The clarity and sharpness is great, the colours are vivid and the they are good despite you taking them on the fone…
