I'd like to pass this off as a new species of "red pine" from Idaho.
In reality it is my camera being "creative." I might have pushed a button somewhere or done something, but this is what happened.
We were on a trip last spring and the camera suddenly made all pictures red, no green, no blue, just monochrome red. Then as suddenly as it started, it stopped.
Crazy.

Dave, I have left a few links on your facebook page about how amazing the iphone is as a camera. I am assuming that you took this photo with your iphone.

Yes it is an Iphone picture. My phone does not have super numbers anywhere, but it is always with me. Sometimes it works really well, sometimes not quite so!

It probably works the best outside in bright light. Cellphone cameras have very tiny sensors, which makes them bad in low light.

But notwithstanding their tremendous defects, they are "always there." That all by itself gives cellphone cameras overwhelming advantage over any other format, past or present.

I just got the new Droid Razr because of the 4G capability and dual core processor for my work. Its camera isn't even as good as the iphone, but in outside bright light I have achieved some amazing photography and video.
