Instagram...

A random mix of recent pictures taken using the Instagram app on my iPhone. I enjoy being forced to use one focal length (zoom on iPhone is awful), while the filters offer some interesting processing options. I also really like the square compositions.

I'm using an iPhone 4, so these are limited to 5MP - not that the lens is going to be overly capable of doing much more anyway!

Milford-on-Sea - Rocks used to try and stop long-shore drift.

Electricity or telephone cables - not sure but I like these!

Beetle on a leaf - macro capablity hardly amazing, but not bad either!

Beach huts at Milford-on-Sea

Cabbage white butterfly - again showing the macro potential of the iPhone!

Paris - July 2012

Some shots from a trip to Paris in mid-July. I really haven't been getting much use at all from my camera of late, to be honest I'm finding Instagram more enjoyable at the moment - I will post some of my favorite recent shots with that later.

Paris street graffiti
A vandalised van, saw a lot of these - I thought they were quite photogenic. Filters applied in Lightroom to enhance the colours.


Charity road bikers - July 20th 2012 - Tour Eiffel
A day or two before the end of the Tour de France - this was a charity event, though I couldn't tell if this was the start or the finish.

And finally, an Instagram shot from the Arc de Triomphe
