Under a Gibbous Moon

I’ve been playing with a camera lately. Not just any camera but the one on my cell phone. With enough effort, I think that it takes some really good pictures.

I’m very pleased with how this one turned out. Taking pictures of small children is a lot like wildlife photography, you take a lot of pictures and just hope to get lucky. I got really lucky with this one.

Another lucky shot. The one I took right before this is nothing but a blur as she turned her head but then I managed to catch her right as she was focusing on something.

Nothing particularly special about this one, though I do like the framing, mostly I was going for a “arty” look and I like the way it came out.

While I don’t think that cell phones will ever replace those $12,000 behemoths, I do think that they have come a long way. A good cell phone camera can take some very crisp pictures with varying depths of field (though I have yet to see one with true manual focus). Maybe in another five years or so, there won’t even be a need for any of the mid range digital cameras.
