This is the second part of my “It’s all about the limitations” series. Be sure to read the first part before reading this one. You can find it over here. I forgot to mention this in my previous post, but I post iPhone photos to my Posterous every now and then. So if you’re interested in iPhone photography, you might like it.
The photo above is processed with the Best Camera app. I wrote a blog post about that particular app a while ago.
I’d like to add two other apps. I absolutely love SwankoLab and, to a lesser extent, Hipstamatic.

I love my iPhone 3G. It’s the first (smart)phone I still enjoy after almost two years of usage. When I just got it, I didn’t think I would use the camera that much. I mean, the resolution is sucky, the sensor is crappy and the lens, well, don’t get me started on that one.
To my surprise, I kind of enjoy all its limitations. I know I have to be picky about what to expose properly (if such a thing is even possible), and I know I can’t get the same dynamic range as any DSLR. But that’s part of the fun. I try to make most of my other photos technically perfect in terms of sharpness, exposure, focus and depth of field. The iPhone forces me to look in a different way than I do normally while photographing, and I think that’s an interesting experience.

This is the first time in years I shot some images on film. I recently bought a Vivitar 35ES rangefinder and these pictures are the result of it’s first test run. It is really awkward to shoot film again. I have to admit that I’m a bit lazy when it comes to aligning horizontal lines correctly while shooting. It’s a lot easier to straighten photos in Lightroom. It’s a bad idea to do this while shooting film though, as you can see on the photos.
Anyway, I really enjoy this little camera. And shooting film is fun too. There is a downside though. I’m really (unpleasantly) surprised by the cost of developing film and printing the photos. I’ll have to find a solution for this if I want to continue to shoot on film.
Well, enough with the talking. Check out the photos after the jump. I used Ilford Delta 400 for these photos if anyone cares ;)
