was playing around with a PSP aging technique, normally I dont like using this but think it worked well this time
I'm thinking that I'm glad I've taken advantage of the few decent days this grey gloomy February. Not too far from home amongst the low hills above the Lancashire mosses.
This is one of the many subway scenes I've shot with my iPhone.
I thought it was an interesting photo, and I gave it four stars in my Aperture rating system. But not five stars, so it never did get uploaded as a "public" Flickr photo.
One of my loyal Flickr friends "faved" the photo, so I've changed its status to "public."
**********************
Whether you’re an amateur or professional photographer, it’s hard to walk around with a modern smartphone in your pocket, and not be tempted to use the built-in camera from time-to-time. Veteran photographers typically sneer at such behavior, and most will tell you that they can instantly recognize an iPhone photo, which they mentally reject as being unworthy of any serious attention.
After using many earlier models of smartphones over the past several years, I was inclined to agree; after all, I always (well, almost always) had a “real”camera in my pocket (or backpack or camera-bag), and it was always capable of taking a much better photographic image than the mediocre, grainy images shot with a camera-phone.
But still … there were a few occasions when I desperately wanted to capture some photo-worthy event taking place right in front of me, and inevitably it turned out to be the times when I did not have the “real” camera with me. Or I did have it, but it was buried somewhere in a bag, and I knew that the “event” would have disappeared by the time I found the “real" camera and turned it on. By contrast, the smart-phone was always in my pocket (along with my keys and my wallet, it’s one of the three things I consciously grab every time I walk out the door). And I often found that I could turn it on, point it at the photographic scene, and take the picture much faster than I could do the same thing with a “traditional” camera.
Meanwhile, smartphone cameras have gotten substantially better in the past few years, from a mechanical/hardware perspective; and the software “intelligence” controlling the camera has become amazingly sophisticated. It’s still not on the same level as a “professional” DSLR camera, but for a large majority of the “average” photographic situations we’re likely to encounter in the unplanned moments of our lives, it’s more and more likely to be “good enough.” The old adage of “the best camera is the one you have with you” is more and more relevant these days. For me, 90% of the success in taking a good photo is simply being in the right place at the right time, being aware that the “photo opportunity” is there, and having a camera — any camera — to take advantage of that opportunity. Only 10% of the time does it matter which camera I’m using, or what technical features I’ve managed to use.
And now, with the recent advent of the iPhone5s, there is one more improvement — which, as far as I can tell, simply does not exist in any of the “professional” cameras. You can take an unlimited number of “burst-mode” shots with the new iPhone, simply by keeping your finger on the shutter button; instead of being limited to just six (as a few of the DSLR cameras currently offer), you can take 10, 20, or even a hundred shots. And then — almost magically — the iPhone will show you which one or two of the large burst of photos was optimally sharp and clear. With a couple of clicks, you can then delete everything else, and retain only the very best one or two from the entire burst.
With that in mind, I’ve begun using my iPhone5s for more and more “everyday” photo situations out on the street. Since I’m typically photographing ordinary, mundane events, even the one or two “optimal” shots that the camera-phone retains might not be worth showing anyone else … so there is still a lot of pruning and editing to be done, and I’m lucky if 10% of those “optimal” shots are good enough to justify uploading to Flickr and sharing with the rest of the world. Still, it’s an enormous benefit to know that my editing work can begin with photos that are more-or-less “technically” adequate, and that I don’t have to waste even a second reviewing dozens of technically-mediocre shots that are fuzzy, or blurred.
Oh, yeah, one other minor benefit of the iPhone5s (and presumably most other current brands of smartphone): it automatically geotags every photo and video, without any special effort on the photographer’s part. Only one of my other big, fat cameras (the Sony Alpha SLT A65) has that feature, and I’ve noticed that almost none of the “new” mirrorless cameras have got a built-in GPS thingy that will perform the geotagging...
I’ve had my iPhone5s for a couple of months now, but I’ve only been using the “burst-mode” photography feature aggressively for the past couple of weeks. As a result, the initial batch of photos that I’m uploading are all taken in the greater-NYC area. But as time goes on, and as my normal travel routine takes me to other parts of the world, I hope to add more and more “everyday” scenes in cities that I might not have the opportunity to photograph in a “serious” way.
Stay tuned….
Thinking about the week ahead, thinking about the good times I have had..just thinking....anything but start work xx
Sitting and thinking about where I went wrong! Life is complicated enough and SL is even more complicated !
Would'nt you just love to know what she was thinking?
Lunch probably!

I've never been just longing for your lov'n
I've never been just wearing down to noth'n
I've never been just looking for a reason
So that maybe you'll be thinking of me

Once firmly settled into small town life and with the pleasures of the lake just a few steps from his back door, Joe was perfectly happy fishing or preparing to fish for the first year or so. ‘Fishing’ consisted in a small part of catching fish but primarily of thinking, and the nicer the weather, the more balance swung away from fishing and toward deep thought.

Thinking of home and all the beautiful sunsets through the trees. It's amazing that I, thanks to modern technology, have the ability to go to a completely different part of the world in a matter of days. And that I'll be living here until August!
South Carolina I'll see you soon and for now Utah is my home ❤️

the picture itself has a million words
everytime I fall asleep, there's no one else in my mind but her
The crumpled cloth saying "Thinking Of You" is abstract because, no matter how I try, she can never be with me.
The Color is my fading love for her
so please one more time, let me stay
hehe there. actually I have a lot of meanings in all my photos, I just wanted to share this one
catching up, lots of laughter, star coffee, good stories, favourite bakeries, memories.
an afternoon in heidelberg with my friend sandra.
