I LOVE my new camera and lenses

...it takes really nice pictures!
I never thought I would say this, but I LOVE not having my DSLR with me when I go out (and agonizing about which lens to bring!). Until now, I wanted to say it but didn't want to admit or believe it because I am a member of 'Hello, my name is Pam and I am a PHOTOHOLIC!', but it can sometimes be a right pain in the arse! There I said it. Weight lifted off shoulders. I liken it to when you have a small child and you have to lug everything with you: diaper bag, snacks, change of clothes, sippy cup, toys, blah, blah, blah, the list is endless...then there comes that day when the toddler becomes more independent and gradually your bag becomes lighter and there's room for you again and you still love that child of yours, but now they can carry their own stuff and you can be freeeeeee!!! This is what happened to me when I got the iphone. I swear my husband regrets buying it for me now, I resisted and resisted and now I sleep with the damn thing ha ha ha. I live for visuals, but sometimes I want to experience the moment and not be strapped to DSLRs. I feel quite liberated just going around with the iphone and even better, I now have some iphone lenses I got from Photojojo. Yep, you heard me right: IPHONE LENSES! The fisheye is def. my fav. as you will see. These gadgets have given me room to photograph and to live the moment too....Here are a couple taken with the macro attachment, which I will admit, I don't use too much...a fallen Sakura...

Some dreamy flower petal...

On a recent trip to London I had some fun snapping the old icons like the phone boxes. Whenever I go back to my hometown I still love the red phone boxes, postboxes and buses! You can take the Londoner out of London but you can't take London out of the Londoner! <- So true!

The lenses created quite some interest. Here's My Dad and I (me with a deep concentration frown, it's not easy doing this LOL) at Big Ben (being tourists in our own city. LOVE) and a nosy bloke wondering what that thing is on my phone no doubt!

Even the police got involved...

I called this 'ello, 'ello, 'ello, wot's goin' on 'ere then?!!! These police were particularly interested in the lens. I love this photo and I just sold my first 2 iphoneography images, this being one of them! YEAH!
Here's some 'drive-by shooting' on the District line...entitled 'smiley happy people!' LOL!

The Westfield Mall in Shepherd's Bush. I went here quite a lot 'cause it was the only place I could get free wifi! Plus, Marks and Sparks had a cafe!

Another Iconic scene. Fountains at Trafalger Sq.

Going Underground (of course!) The second print I sold! Yeah!

Moving on to Tokyo...You can tell I'm from a city, I really miss subway trains!

The kids were knackered after a hard day at the Disney Sea resort and took refuge on the BUSY subway floor!

Shibuya Crossing, this was so much fun to see and yeah we sat in the packed Starbucks too and watched the crossing unfold!

On to the wide angle attachment: Back to Okinawa. This was winter at the north of the island, I LOVE how the sea is electric luminous blue!

Docked boats...

More sea. Apparently I can't get enough of it!

The golf course lake where Mark Twain (if it was him which apparently it wasn't...) would have stated 'a good walk spoiled'!

American Village at night in the middle of Okinawa. Grunge textured.

I used the lens attachments on my iphone 4 and the images are edited with Camera Plus (another fav that the hubby downloaded LOL) And one more fisheye of the sea. The 'wassup wave!'

I have lots more, I wish I could share them all but this is already weighed down! I have some others in my Flickr (I think). I shall leave with a quote I like: Great photography is about depth of feeling, not depth of field. - Peter Adams. Thanks I love your stuff and especially like the dinosaur ;oP
