<p>Panorama of a ConEd worksite on a New York street corner.</p><div></div>

<p>Happy Phriday everyone! Busy day today, will post photo later...</p>

<p>Edwin: love the panorama. You may have inspired me for next week...</p> <p>Allen: yet more great B&W phone shots - absolutely love them.</p> <p>Andy: Memorial Day weekend and car shows go together like chocolate and peanut butter. Delicious photos.</p>

<p>Whoops, take 2.</p><div></div>

<p>Starting off the Memorial Day weekend right... with random pictures that people have taken with their phones. :)</p> <p>In honor of doing the long weekend here is a shot I took strictly for practical purposes... I needed to record where the sun is located in late afternoon relative to the tree line so my wife and I can figure out the right placement of some new fruit trees. But I like the way it came out - yay for happy accidents.</p>

<p>Edwin and Allen, I love these! The improv shot is a great example of the kinds of moments you would just never capture 10 years ago... And that street sweeper photo is just awesome.</p>

<p>Happy Phriday everyone!</p><div></div>

<p>Happy Phriday everyone!</p><div></div>

<p>Happy Phriday everyone!</p><div></div>

<p>Happy Phriday everyone! Gloomy day in New York yesterday... I want Spring back!</p><div></div>

<p>Happy Phriday everyone!</p><div></div>

<p>The composition with the tools is delightful. :)</p>

<p>Edwin, your nature photos consistently deliver! Love it.</p>

<p>Happy Phriday everyone! Still in the 40's here, but it's looking more like Spring all the time...</p><div></div>

<p>Happy Phriday everyone! Here's a shot of the beautiful Spring weather we had in the Northeast this week.</p><div></div>

<p>No joke, it's Friday!</p> <p>I was in Savannah this past weekend, where (unlike NYC) Spring is very much in the air.</p><div></div>

<p>It's never too early to start celebrating Phriday. Ok, maybe it's too early sometimes, but Thursday night is fine!</p> <p>Awesome stuff last week! It's really cool to see these little wonder-devices in our pockets being put to creative use.</p> <p>Yet another NYC sunset... On the one hand it's sort of boring that I keep taking the same photo. On the other hand, Nature's been killing it.</p> <p>One cool thing you may note if you look at this one vs. prior shots is that the sun is noticeably marching north - this is the first sunset of the year that I could snap from a west-facing window rather than a south-facing window. (For non-New Yorkers, by "west" I mean northwest and by "south" I mean southwest: as befits our general attitude about our city's place in the world, we judge direction by the orientation of Manhattan, not the orientation of the planet :).</p> <p>One more comment: Apple's in-camera HDR is really good, at least for the limited application I use it for. I have generally not been a big fan of most post-process HDR I've seen because it tends to look (to me) way beyond reality. But the in-camera HDR on this thing does a really good job of capturing the impression I get from standing here viewing the sunset in person. YMMV, of course.</p><div></div>

<p>Happy Friday everyone! Yet another New York sunset in HDR, but what can I say? The phone captures it well!</p><div></div>

<p>Happy Friday everyone!</p><div></div>

<p>That's a great shot!</p>

<p>Happy Phriday! This shot definitely loses something from the compression to 700 pixels (particularly in the branches near the top, which now just look blurry) but I still like it.</p><div></div>

<p>No photo from me just yet... I'll be back later with something for today, but in the meantime here's the room that's hosting the greatest (mobile-phone-photography-themed) party on the internet!</p>

<p>A break from the HDR-fest!</p><div></div>

<p>I'm kind of falling in love with in-phone HDR... I've never been much of a fan of HDR work in general, but for capturing the feeling of an in-person sunrise or sunset, it seems to do a great job.</p><div></div>

<p>Another day, another snowstorm! In honor of the bad weather, here's a shot of a beautiful sky over an ugly pile of snow...</p> <div></div>
