Camera Phone Friday - Blast of Snow

As I wind down for the weekend, I thought I would start a new Friday series - Camera Phone Fridays - something easy and fun to start the weekend. When Friday rolls around, I don't want to spend a lot of time downloading / processing / uploading /linking and all that stuff related to getting a photo on to the blog. That's why I generally don't post anything on Fridays!

By using my camera phone (in my case, a 3G iPhone, really old by most camera phone standards) and various camera phone apps, I can easily capture something and have it uploaded to flickr, ready to be linked here.

I use the Hipstamatic and Instagram apps the most, and through this series, I plan to check out some others.

Today's pictures:
Snow blasted
Proof that winter is still with us, we got blasted with wet snow that stuck to everything. Pretty, yes. A welcome sight, no. Processed using Instagram's Hefe filter.

Cylinder
A lonely gas cylinder on the racks at work. Processed using Instagram's X-Pro filter

So I'll be here on Fridays with a new camera phone picture. If you care to join me, just add your link in the comments. TGIF!

    Great iPhone shots with the filters! Sounds like a fun meme. If you think YOUR phone is old, I don't think mine takes photos... and if it does, I don't know how to use it! :-D Truth be told, I have a thing about small electronic gadgets... we don't get along too well.

    As a camera phone guy, I will have to keep checking in on
    Fridays. Hipstamatic looks like Vignette on Android phones. It can give you an old film effect

    Great idea! There are some cool photo apps for iphones/ipods out there. Maybe I should start doing this too...:)
