Anyone doing any mobile photography with their Android or iPhone? They say that "the best camera is the one you have with you." I think that it is somewhat true... shooting more (because I always have my phone with me) teaches me to see different. I've been trying to take at least one photo every day.

I used to have an iPhone but switched to Android (DroidX). There's a great app for the Android platform called Vignette ... it has tons of effects, and if you configure it correctly, you can make it always save the original and then go back and re-process for many different effects.

I sometimes sync my photos to an Apple device and upload them to Instagram
Any IG users here? Here's my feed: http://instagram.heroku.com/users/75725

Would love to see others

Leader, thanks for asking... some of my work is on www.cajundeephotos.com .... (It needs an update but dang life is very busy these days!)

I used to shoot more with my Blackberry because I did have it with me most often but now just shoot my Canon...

There are photo forums out there dedicated to cellphone photos..

Yep, I know what you mean. Life does get in the way sometimes. When I actually do have time to do some real shooting, I'll grab my Nikon and head out for the day with all my various lenses and gear. But like I said, sometimes the best camera is the one you have with you.

Happy shooting..

I've been sorely lacking in my creativity department. I'd rather make art than take photos of people... but I'm good at it and it's currently what makes me the money. Meh. I've been taking this winter break as a chance to get back to what I really like doing. Shooting my animals; my lover... my life... check out our boy atticus and here is a fairly new edit of a shot I took some time ago... I love it. It speaks to me.

Tell me, where do you find your inspiration? Let's propose a challenge to get each other inspired... I could use a swift kick in the ass and friendly challenge

Happy New Year folks.

I'm all for the swift kick to get some creativity flowing.

I haven't been shooting much, but oddly have had more people coming to me asking me to setup photo shoots. I guess word (or eyes) are starting to open different avenues for me. I'm still standing in the doorway, though, and can't seem to take the next step (i.e. independent business work, charging, etc).

I have a photo-friend coming to visit soon to get me outa the house. I can't wait for our photo excursion.

BTW, LOVE the atticus photo....you have an amazing eye.

Hiya FemmeDyke.. haven't seen you in a while and I must say I remember your photos and how much I enjoyed them...

What I do is venture out, never going on a *shoot* per se, but take my camera with me... I just start taking in the sights and before you know it there are photo ops galore,, and if not, you still got to take in some sights... so never a loss

Good luck!
