  • I've shot a lot from the iPhone recently.  It occured to me yesterday that this camera can physically get into positions that the large DSLR can't.  In this shot, the lens and sensor are right at the keyboard edge.  I don't think I could get that close otherwise.  Another nice thing about the small sensor is a greater depth-of-field.  I'd estimate it's at least a couple of inches in this picture.  <br />
<br />
The picture was take with Camera+ which has a great camera stabilzer.  A few minor tweaks were made to the histogram in Photogene2.  And the effect, 'More Wang', was applied using SmugMugs 'Camera Awesome'... all iPhone apps.<br />
<br />
Photo.net has a great discussion of why sensor size affects depth-off-field.<br /> <a href="http://photo.net/learn/optics/dofdigital/">http://photo.net/learn/optics/dofdigital/</a><br />

  • My Fancy New Wings<br />
<br />
Amy found this last night on the Sequoia.  We were out there looking at Margaret's new radio.  She is taking it to camp this summer so I replaced the 2002 factory-installed unit with a Pioneer 'Appradio 2'.  The job took me most of the afternoon but I saved $300 in installation fees.<br />

If you look closer using 'X3' or 'Original' there is a lot of detail... especially in the wing.

  • Summer Camp Trunk Art<br />
<br />
Ellen has been working on this design for the top of her summer camp trunk.  Today it is complete!!  She strated with a sketch, and, using that, created this wonderfully imaginative decorative pattern with just a silver Sharpie marker.

Ellen newest sea-creature friend.  We had a lot of fun watching her interact in the water with Belugas this afternoon.  Amy and I were burning up in the late afternoon San Antonio sun.  But Ellen was comfy in the 60 deg water thanks to the wet suit.<br />
