Best picture with worst camera

[CommanderJameson]

I was looking in the photo comp threads and thinking "st, I've got nuthin'" but then I remembered this picture which I took on a Sony Ericsson K700i phone, and which I still think is one of the best things I've ever taken (yes, my bar is low):



It's incredibly noisy, dubiously focussed and low-res, but for some reason I like it a lot.

What good pictures have you taken with truly awful cameras?

^^^ Composition wise that is fab

Here's a snap I got with my iPhone 4 in the summer

They show how far phones have come!

Phone cameras (and software) have indeed come far. I took these with my iPhone 3GS/4 and did all the editing on the phone. Oh yeah I realise the borders are awful, but the options were there! so I had to try them out!

That was some graffiti on a wall in Melbourne (3GS, Adobo PhotoShop Mobile)

This is a pano, from Camps Bay (round the back of Table Mountain), (3GS, AutoStitch and Adobe PS Mobile). Autostitch works very very well IMO, its very quick and even sorts out changes in exposure for you. Have produced some excellent panos from this.

Subway shot from the tube station nearest the Boston Airport.... Liked it because the train goes to wonderland. Train was barreling through the station at this point, it wasn't stationary (iPhone 4, Pixlromatic)


(I realise this i the "worst look at how travelled I am" Post ever)

Now that you have a proper hardware button to take the shots, shooting on the iPhone is even easier to do! Its quite hard panning and trying to press the screen at the same time!

Got some good photos from my little canon compact as well. Its about 7 years old! but produces some excellent shots.... especially if you make use of the 2nd (or slow) curtain sync with the flash. Gives you lovely light trails and blurs that make the pictures look exactly how you remember the night in your drunken blaze! Friend of mine is epic with a camera. He can get works of art from a crappy disposable!

I'm pretty impressed with this picture I took at a gig on my iPhone 4:

My LG p500 phone cam is crap but I did manage this with it.
