Embracing crappy photography

one of those people

So i got an iPhone. It lives up to my very high expectations. And with Australian telco’s finally offering sensible data plans it’s relatively affordable.

As well as installing lots of apps, syncing calendars and contacts, surfing the web and listening to podcasts – i’ve been enjoying taking crappy iPhonecam photos and posting them to my twitter. It’s very easy with twitterific which integrates seamlessly with twitpic.

It makes a nice change from the pressure of taking photos with a proper camera.

  1. I’ve also enjoyed taking photos with my iPhone (my god, it’s terrible, so much worse than my 3-year-old Sony Ericsson k750i) and uploading them to Facebook. I think there’s a bit of an art to making that crappy sensor yield good shots, to play up to the aesthetic.

  2. It’s all about the ease of liveblogging. Pity you can’t send the photos via SMS.
    Either way, I love my iPhone a lot too.

  3. I got one this week also, why it took me this long I will never know. The plans on virgin seem decent, I’m getting screwed on Telstra ba bow.

  5. Russian hackers ahoy! Lets be honest, the main use of the PhoneCams is to take photos of tits. The main use of PhoneVideo is to take a poor quality videos of fellatio and to send to friends.
