    Default The Mobile / Cell Phone Pic Thread.

    Ok, so it's a running joke between Kristian (UPCruiser) and I that if he actually had a "real" camera he could do some amazing things.
    Post up your Mobile Phone pics!! I'm always impressed with how much they've advanced from 'back in the day'....
    Shots I've seen on our forum from the new Droid are insane.

    Oh where is technology taking us? I've done a search for a cell phone pic thread, didn't see anything.

    Repeat post, but this shot almost cost me an iPhone!!


    To be continued... (especially with the Smugmug iPhone App!)

    Not really expedition related but a couple of my favorites. Woke up last week and tossed my favorite human in the 60 and went to the beach. End of August and 80* at 10am on the sand with a nice off shore breeze (not enough to fly a kite though).


    Then headed for rather lengthy walkabout in the outback...err....at Outback Steakhouse for lunch..

    Really the only thing keeping me from never using my cameras is battery life and lense size. In low light the smaller lense and sensor of a cell phone camera just doesn't take as good as shots as a big lensed camera.
    The other issue with cell phones is propritary lithium ion batteryes, all my other cameras take AA's so when the batteries go dead I toss those in the to charge pile and toss in a set from the spares box and go. Since cell phones take the specific one I have to have a dedicated spare and then have to have a dedicated charger as I don't want to run my cell phone dead taking pictures. Its getting better with cell phones standardizing on micro usb ports so you can start to share chargers.
    But outdoor shots my Droid you can't tell much difference from our cameras.

    None of mine are off road pics, just random ones I took.
    This one was with my dare phone last October, it had a 3 megapixel camera in it.
    Notice the window sticker



    I got the Droid a month later in November of last year.
    It is 5 megapixel, and the pictures it takes are very decent.

    One of the lakes at work, we have two.
    Partially frozen in some spots.



    One of my toys at work.
    I use it to clear moss from the walking paths, and it is also a back saver come winter time.
    We use to have to shovel tons of snow where people have to walk, I can not clear it with the brush and lay down ice remover too from the rear booms that swing out.



    Another shot of one of the lakes.



    More of my toys.

    I take a lot of shots with my 3GS, it's a great way to keep the creativity flowing.

    You are trying to use your PC to host, which will not work.
    They gotta be on the 'Net somewhere.

    A few more from work taken with the old Dare cell phone.

    Two more toys.



    A toy next to my Toy.
    I should have forked my sliderz and raised the rig up for that shot



    Those came out smaller as I had emailed them to myself at work back then with the Dare phone.
    The Droid phone does not downsize the pics when you email them, it keeps them at their native 5 megapixel.
