Expect some (slightly) better photography on martinjy.com
Although I’d love to buy myself a new cameraphone so that I can email photos straight to Flickr (even though I still can’t get the upload2blog thing to work properly), the latest batch of cameraphones just doesn’t do it for me. Sure, I could upgrade to a 5.0 megapixel phone and see the quality become wayyyyyy better than the crapness of my 1.3mp K608i (witness the last few photos on this blog), but the killer feature for me with ANY phone is its size.
The K608i is 105 x 45 x 19 mm, and weighs 100g. Of all the fancy-arse phones I’ve looked at in the last few days, only the Sony Ericsson T650i beats that. But that only manages 3.2mp. I might end up with it, but for now I’m going to try carrying around our ultra-compact - the Pentax Optio W20. It’s waterproof, which means I can take shots like these:
I have a lot to learn about photography but I want to give it a red hot go in 2008 so expect a fair few photos on here in the coming months. They’ll all be uploaded to Flickr - http://www.flickr.com/photos/martinjy/.
Jump on redbubble for inspiration, there’s some amazing photographers on there.
