Pigeons in the pink

Shot these the other morning outside work. I like the pink to peach tones in the cloud.

Olloclip Clip On iPhone Lenses Increase Options

The olloclip lens is actually three lenses: Fisheye, macro and wide-angle. It seems pretty simple. Snap it on the phone with the lens you want to use over the lens of your iPhone camera. I'm not sure I understand the need for a wide angle lens, the iPhone camera already gives a pretty wide angle. But I'd definitely like to try the macro and fisheye lenses. If anybody has actually used the olloclip, let us know what you think about it in the comments.

It looks a little strange, but if it adds a little more versatility, it's worth it. And it's only about $70 online.

There's more info at http://www.olloclip.com/

A couple of closeup shots using the macro mode of the phone.

Here are a couple of close up shots from my now dead Samsung Galaxy S 4G. It had a very good 5MP camera. The only downside was no flash.

Seeing some of the incredible work done by photographers on the iPhone and other smartphones, I'm beginning to believe that knowing how to compose the photo can be more important than the camera you're using.

Obviously, I need to work on composition, but I'm learning, and I have some pretty nice shots that I'll be showing soon. 

Trying the iPhone app.

Downtown Dawn

This picture is a year old. It was taken downtown in September of 2012

This was taken at my sister-in-laws old house. She lived there over two years and this plant hadn't made an appearance. I keep meaning to go to a nursery and see what it is.

Time to start this one up. an aging actor oh so furious
