(Like Trobairitz's)<br /><br />I'm glad you are enjoying your iPhone and hope you are happy with the results. I'm usually floored by Steve's. Because I can't get anything nearly as nice, nor of the same quality with my Win7 phone. The HDR blows out sometimes. The Photo software takes too long for me for set up. Easier to whip out the camera. But then I never get back to the "effects". :)<br /><br />Looking forward to catching up on newer posts and see what you have learned!<br /><br />-Steel CupcakeBeemerGirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15239761274177026636noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2738356784230164028.post-63508494019884118862011-06-09T19:36:55.051-07:002011-06-09T19:36:55.051-07:00I am a google guy and all "Android", the...I am a google guy and all "Android", the iphone is amazing but I can't stand Apple and its restrictions and control over everything.

How do we know he does not have a posse of Vespa-riding photographers, using the most sophisticated camera equipment in the world to document his parked Vespa and the dog?<br /><br />You Candians are too trusting. I recently raised the point that you never see Steve Williams and Ansel Adams in the same room together. Steve could very well be Ansel Adams. <br /><br />I was out someplace yesterday, and read this poster in a gallery which said in huge block letters, "F•ck your iPhone and f•ck your App store." I was laughing so hard I could barely stand up. I have been dying for someone to say this for the past two years. And now, the resistance is arming. <br /><br />While I am delighted that you are using your feet and containers of yogurt as practice models, think you should experiment on other models that could pique your urge to always go one step farther. For example, why not use that nice lady who bought your scooter? <br /><br />If you'd like, I'd be thrilled to use your practice shots, of her, in Twisted Roads. (That's how confident I am in your ability.) <br /><br />Fondest regards,<br />Jack/reep<br />Twisted Roads<br /><br />You'll find that a friendly face is always good inspiration. I'm glad to see tha you are getting around and riding.

I hardly use the phone. I love texting. I also like the photo editing software<br /><br /><b>Dar:</b> sorry about your wipe-out, hope you are getting better. You should go to Rideaway Motors for their Sunday afternoon coffees, would be nice to finally meet you. I still have video from the Victoria rally, not yet edited.<br /><br /><b>RichardM:</b> HDRpro would be better if it used 3 photos or more. Manual mode gives better results but I notice lots of flaring on the backlights. I installed Camera+, but I find that Photoforge2 has more options.<br /><br /><b>Doug:</b> Thanks for the link, I'll check it out at home<br /><br /><b>Jimbo:</b> Thanks for the compliment. As you notice, I'm not afraid to photograph anything. The phone function is just an incidental, I always carry a real camera and when touring I have my dSLR with me<br /><br /><b>BlueKat:</b> I love technology and the phone is so intuitive. Once you have one, you can never go back. I have a G10 but the new G14 should be out soon, if it weren't for the Tsunami.

He has talked about those same issues, and how things have changed over the years. Anyway, I'm resisting these new fangled phones for as long as possible (like until my current antique dies).

It has replaced the normal camera app for me for quite a while. Ever since it had the "illegal feature" of volume control shutter release.
