Oh, It's Just an iPhone Photo (pic-heavy)

Oh, It's Just an iPhone Photo. I hear people say that a fair amount. I sometimes try to use the iPhone's camera like a real camera...because it is one.

At the San Diego County Fair last year, their photo competition exhibit had a category specifically for cell phone photos. Some of the shots on display were pretty amazing...

IMO, the last two are really, really good.

Thanks Lew. The light was pretty nice, and those are just a couple of frames apart. The Portland City Parks two-man crew was up early, setting up the sprinklers for their very first use of the year, and the sun had just barely risen over the mountains when I happened upon the scene. The big tree in the foreground was just starting to come into bloom, and the sprinklers had nice backlighting. I shot a tall first, focusing on the tree's shape, and then a few seconds later, shot a horizontal, focusing more on the sprinklers' patterns and the guys walking around, adjusting the "stops" on the sprinklers.
