Don’t try this at home

3 days of totally winter weather. Blizzards, freezing rain, tormenting winds…ice jams, flooding.

And yes I was foolish enough to venture out. The drive home was quite a trip, and wanting to try the iPhone while performing some acrobatics, I dared attempt to take an iPhone-tograph, while driving and navigating ice skinned highways. It’s not easy!! I don’t think I’ll try it again.

I was fishtailing as I clicked the shutter – it’s a testament to the
photographic capabilities of the iPhone’s camera that this is as sharp
as it is. it’s way better at taking decent pics compared to my old
standard issue cell phone.

If you relish the idea of good quality photos to go, without carrying
the bulk of a point & shoot, plus you have all the geotagging built
in so you can add them instantly to maps, it’s all very fun. There’s
also an app called CameraBag that lets you add effects to your photos
– Lomo, Holga, polaroid etc. Which is great fun too. I hear with
version 3 of the iPhone OS, we’ll be able to send these photos by text
(finally!), as well as send stuff directly to each other’s iPhones over
the air! Instant photo sharing – without the nonsense of posting to a
public website.

One more reason to hope summer arrives in a hurry.
