airfields.


this is from the series "airfields" by stephan zirwes. the image is a photograph of an airport runway although it looks like a painting.

stilts....not really!


I was on a sunrise hike with my friend a few weeks ago when I noticed how long our shadows appeared on the ground. I whipped out my ancient cell phone and took these 2 photos.

CELL PHONE PICS


I didn’t expect this result from my 1.3 MP cell phone camera. Although the images are not very crisp, I like the effect created by the low resolution.

Serenity In Grey

There isn't much to really be said about this photo. I was having an off day so I went to climb a small mountain, and experienced a sense of tranquility. It may have been an overcast day, but that doesn't stop it from being so beautiful and peaceful.

Low Tech--- A Boy and His Dog


...a classic moment that would have been lost attempting to set up a high tech camera...

Crystal Cove Polaroid


Since I have been unable to get pictures off my phone lately, I thought I would post a polaroid I took while doing my Location project. I have at least 10 unopened boxes of polaroid film in my refrigerator , all expired, so I have been trying to take more pictures with that camera. I love the way the colors have started to fade on the film.

time and space.




shinichi maruyama is an incredible artist. he is a cross between a painter/photographer/performance artist. he photographs the forms of water as it moves through space. he has also completed a video of his work. he calls his work "water sculpture."

Mid day ломо

On the way to school today I was stuck for about 2 hours waiting for the bus at the NoHo red line station and so I decided to shoot some photos with my iPhones lomography app. This was one of my favorites.

Outlined


I took this picture with my cell phone while on a walk with my husband on a paseo near our house. The profile of the tree against the blue sky is what caught my attention. I also like the way the lines (branches) fill the entire frame, but still allow the color to come through.

Shrek


Does the shadow remind anyone of Shrek?
I took this with my cell phone. Good time of day for the lighting, but the color did not come out well - too blue. I didn't make any adjustments to the photo. Should we be?

Freeway


Yes, I was on the freeway when I snapped this with my cell phone. I thought the clouds looked amazing - filling the sky almost like hovering UFOs.

Buildings


Unfortunately, I wasn't really thinking about composition when I snapped this with my cell phone. Saw the light hitting the buildings, and snapped the picture, as I was wishing I had my camera. The megapixels on my phone are really low - 1.3 or something. Do you recognize this, Walter?

hello, world.

this is the santa monica pier late at night. i'm sure that with a real camera this could be a great photo.

but it's still pretty colorful with a camera phone.

Phone Photo


Cell Phone Shot

Sunset shot on my daily run through my neighborhood in Canyon Country :)

Road Runners Call Box

During Spring break my parents and I decided to drive South, and go on a hot dry hike. It was a beautiful hot/ windy day in the desert of palms. So we carried on further into this hike, and came to find an isolated Call Box, literally, in the middle of no where. I loved the idea of it, and I just loved everything about the scenery. Sure it can be considered a boring, nothing desert, but I grew up at a desert and learned to appreciate the nature surrounding this planet. Other than what I have said... That is all.

Antique Large Format Camera







I saw this camera in a museum and couldn't resist taking pictures of it and posting them here :)

Cell Picture



One of the many views around PMC.

More Cell Pictures





Can anyone tell me what kind of flower this is???


Cell phone picture.
This is what happens when you leave a hungry/bored child alone. ;)

Cell phone camera

My cell phone camera is only 1.3 megs so the quality of this image is poor. I think the shot creates a semi-illusion. Sometimes accidents happen! And no, I don't text while I'm driving!

Early morning serenity



I shot these images at 7am with thick fog, bright sunlight and a lack of experience in this type of photography. I have to say I'm very pleased with the images. I insisted on shooting directly into the sun rise and although I had exposure issues I'm still very pleased. I'm going to work on the skyline of the sunrise image now that I've learned double processing just to see if I can make the image any better, but honestly.......I like it the way it is. Always open to input, it's the only way to learn.

Tree

Love trees.  This tree is in the shopping center where Gelson's was.  Plan to photo it much more.  This is just a small part.  Have to figure out how to photo whole tree without cars and lightposts in the background.

Japan's Radiation

Yes, I know this is not a landscape but this is a co-worker's answer to how to protect yourself from radiation--put a garbage bag over your head. (It is great to keep that cell phone handy--never know when you will need it.

Environmental Portrait

Does anybody else see the profile of the crime lord and gangster Jabba the Hutt from Star Wars, including his little wormy tail? No slave girl is visible though. Jabba lives on the desert planet Tatooine.

Playing the angles!


Frankly I am not too motivated to shoot with my iphone, but it does make it easy to get low and angular when something gets my attention. For Kip, I just had to include a couple of kids in the waaay back. I love cloudy days!
