TO CONTRIBUTE

We're looking for your best mobile phone images. We can take 100 blog authors at a time. A current list of contributors can be found on the right side of this blog. Becoming an official contributor is easy, just email me at sendthistorod@me.com and ask. If we've got spots, I'll email you back from blogger asking if you want to be an author. The rest is easy. Follow the simple blogger directions and you're all set. You can then post to you're hearts content directly from your computer.

The only thing we ask is that you tell us how you achieved such an awesome photo with your phone. This is, after all, how we all grow as a community of In Focus phone photographers.
Please no nudity or foul language.

Working with the light


Often with my camera phone I'll be stuck as to what exposure level I
can capture. My iPhone model does not allow me to choose my exposure, I just have to roll with the punches and get the best I can. This means watching for those situations that will give me a chance to play with light. In this image I was able to use the cameras default actions to highlight the backlit flag. Since the camera was pointed at bright light it tried to make the scene appear normal — choosing a very fast shutter. This in turn allowed the flag, which was back lit, to pop out of the scene so vibrantly. I believe the current models of the iphone and some other phones as well offer you the choice of choosing what will appear 'normally lit'. Can't wait for my upgrade time to hit!
