Maybe you meant "ipornography'?

Hi Mark, Your photography is obviously at a much higher level, but I love taking photos on my iphone. I mainly use Instagram and I enjoy searching the various hashtags and looking at other peoples photos.. There are a lot of good photos of Bali/Indonesia (and of almost anywhere in the world) on Instagram. I agree - it is much easier to take a less intrusive photo with your phone and these days the iphone takes a pretty good photo. I still use my SLR and my point-and-shoot but I am finding that I am taking more and more photos on my iphone. The "kit of three lenses" that you mentioned.. is the idea to eventually release them in the app store? I would be interested to hear more about it one day when it is tested and ready for the public..

How 'fiddly' are the lenses - the advantage of a small compact is that there's minimum 'fiddling' (changing lenses etc)How high rez can you get?But generally for 'on-the-hoof' unobtrusive photography a phone is a lot less obvious for candid shots than a DSLR

Looks good.. I wish they'd bring out something similar for the Samsung Galaxy which is a superior phone.Just noticed you also run photography classes so I'll bring my 550D next trip and book your 4hr lesson. Do you still run it if there's less than 6 people booked?

This whole Iphone thing is getting a bit too Lord of the Rings for me.... where is my[I] preeeciiouuus[/I]?I'm amazed that a professional photographer would stoop to the quality loss embodied in using this gizmo that attaches to the [I]preeeeciouuuus[/I]. I find the cameras in mobile phones terrible quality and cause young people to walk around posing most of the time - just in case someone takes a photo. If you watch people that have one in a bar or resto they are always fumbling with the damn thing and paying way more attention to it than the people they are with. Makes me want to chop off the offending hand frankly, just like in the film. By the way I have one of the damn things too. Now where is my[I] preeeciiouuus[/I]?

Whether you start with an image that has 36Gb or with one that has 36kb is a world of difference - the Gb photo can be "degraded" to fit whatever artistic premiss you want where as the 36kb shot is pretty much all you are going to get. Don't get me wrong please I'm not from the Gb crazy crowd (my Pentax K100D Super only does 6mb pix) but I do come from a computer image analysis background where quality was and is stage one. From there we would capture whatever was wanted from the original, that is [I]after[/I] doing the computer magic on it. That there's money in [I]Tham Thar Hills[/I] is without a doubt a motivating factor.

Canonman, I love that attached canoe shot. So beautifully evocative.

I love this pic.....so cute! I recently bought the lenses for my iphone and love them!! although my pics still dont look as good as yours....perhaps i need lessons hahaHi there, thinking_about_it, the lens kit already exists, I am shooting with them. They are not an App they are physical lenses that fit on to the iPhone. I also have an Instagram but the since it got bought by facebook it's being driven into the ground. I still post to it but not that often, it's just a bit of fun.I love all forms of photography with one main drive to get people to share that. If you're on twitter maybe use #doyouinspire with your images even when you send them to Instagram and the account I have for photography willpick them up and retweet them out to over 15k followers. Really cool images will also be retweeted to my mainstream account with over 110k followers.Cheers,Mark.Beagles have more fun...[/QUOTE]
