I am going to force myself to use my new iPhone camera for a while, to try to get used to it. Until I get used to it, I’m not likely to come up with much compelling “art”, however, because for now, quantity is more important than quality.
My first problem is that I find the cell-phone camera very awkward to use. It is hard for me to hold it firmly, without hitting a button or screen-control. I’m sure that anyone born-and-raised by cell-phones won’t have this issue, however, and I may get better with practice too. I also find the swipe-controls difficult to use because they are not precise enough for me, although maybe I can adjust that in the phone settings. I also find the screen hard to see in bright light.
I have to say that I am impressed with the IQ of the iPhone, although I am still playing with resolution and file-formats. I am also playing with the Halide-II camera-app, although if full manual-control is not available at the highest sensor resolution, there is not much point to it.
Altogether, my first-week feeling is that once I am more comfortable with it, this iPhone should prove to be a very serviceable tertiary-level camera for when I have neither my R5 nor X100 with me, which is a lot of times. The iPhone is not likely to replace either of those two honest-to-god real cameras, however, because it is just to clunky and awkward to use.

After years of having used a wonderful Canon A80, I decided that it is finally the time to upgrade my wife's P&S so I bought her a Coolpix S700. This little brick is amazing for a P&S.
All supplies are from Close to My Heart. I used the Slice cartridge Spring to cut out my butterflies.

Official publicity from the HvA, attached to the fence around the building site of what will eventually become their Wibautcampus.
What were they smoking in the PR department that made them think this combination looks good? (and not just the combination of ruin and poster. Also the poster itself is bad in so many ways - iphone silhouettes are so 2003 for instance, let alone the issues of race and gender that are invoked this way)

It was time to think of his next move .. the grey was sneaking in again trying to take over the day and ruin the adventure ..
I think these are the ruins of the original Elora Mill, but I could be way off on that. Regardless, it's a really funky old building.
