Let's see some mobile phone captures - PhotoCamel

Paul Shields · 11-06-2007

Has anyone ever taken pictures via their mobile (cell) phone that they thought were worthy of keeping/printing? Some of these phones now have more megapixels than my beloved Olympus E-1. Obviously the tiny sensors are not going to compete with the larger ones found in a DSLR, but I'd love to see how the technology is progressing.

If I figger out how to get them off my wife's phone I may have one worth posting.

trentchau · 11-06-2007

let me grab one from my current phone.

Not a keeper keeper, but I thought this was kinda cool to see in Atlanta.

A classic mobile phone shot Trent. These devices are the true democratic documenters of our time. No matter what or where a major event occurs, there's likely to be a camera phone to capture it.

trentchau · 11-06-2007

thanks Paul, the resolution on it is better than my kodak point and shoot back from 2001

Here's one I took of my son.

Yep, what would an Iraqi necktie party be without one.

My girlfriend is making blurry mobile phones as an artproject:

rense the top one is great, I think she could get even more results by making sure each square was sharp.

That's a wonderful application for cell phone cams.

Paul Shields · 11-07-2007

Now that is just what I was hoping to see posted Rense. It vaguely reminds me of Polaroid image manipulation (e.g. Polaroid Art SX-70 Image Manipulation). I like the idea of using basic devices to capture and manipulate something beyond the norm.

I will give her your compliments. About the sharp thing: the theme is about blurred photos so that doesn't go well together.

Rense did you notice that the white squares cause a common optical illusion (black dots when you stare at it);i think if the contrst was stronger they would be very apparent.
i google it,and see if i can find one.
