I’ve uploaded two new videos. One is a 53 second clip shot with an iPhone of some old plastic caught on top of a wall. I slowed the playback speed to about 30%, double-tracked the sound and added a bit of echo and reverb. The result is quite eerie.

The other is a much shorter iPhone clip of an outdoor ashtray smoking and looking like it’s about to catch fire.

Both are filed in a playlist called Vignettes. These are short video notes, mostly with a static camera and minimal or no editing - like a long photo.

This iPhone image is illustrating an article on Cult of Mac about a tumblr photography blog called, um, iPhone Photography.

There are some great photos on the site, which may be a surprise to some because the iPhone (3GS) allegedly has a 'crappy' camera. Actually, for what it is - a 3 megapixel cameraphone chip, it's perfectly adequate - and takes reasonable video as well. I don't use it much as I normally have a camera in my bag, but to take a shot when nothing else is to hand, despite my initial reservations, I think it's fine. It's a significant improvement on the original iPhone's truly crappy effort, though 5 megapixels would have been nicer.
