Pictures from my new iPhone 3G

I bought the iPhone 3G over the weekend and am really liking it so far. Although getting one was a total pain-I waited several hours in line, it was worth it!

While the iPhone 3G camera is nothing to write home about in terms of specs., and I don’t think it has been upgraded at all from the first generation iPhone, it’s really great for snapshots. And, it can be a powerful thing to have a camera that goes with you absolutely everywhere. The trick is not to email them from the iPhone because that slims the images down. To get the full resolution images out of the iPhone, I either use Image Capture on my Mac or SmugShot to upload them directly to my SmugMug account.

Just like fun old cameras like the Holga, Diana or Polaroid SX-70, the iPhone cam needs a lot of light and the images are often not that sharp. It is a phone cam after all. But it’s great for these toy camera type of images (with a little bit of Photoshop post work thrown in):
