I thought maybe the cooler crisp fall air was doing the trick.
Nice pics.
Thanks. I'll see if I can dig up more. I really need to just buy a fancy camera already.

I never realized just how child's-play camera phones really are until I went to South Africa this summer. Members in my group were snapping DLSR shots that made mine look like the 1980s.

I'm lost with the camera on my phone. I don't understand how to use any of the settings and it is awkward for me to hold it and push the button. If I have a choice, I use my regular camera, which isn't a DSLR either, but takes pretty good pictures.

And you'd be better off too. I used my 9 yr old child's point and click for the Calendar Contest shot. Much cleaner, crisper shots.

Granted, we finished last place in the contest, but I digress.

As an engineer, I can confidently say that camera phones are not intended to replace "real cameras". They're just good tools for spontaneous "hey, let's check out the zoo" Sundays.

That's nice to hear. That means I don't have to feel bad about not learning how to use my phone camera. I used to actually be into photography with a Nikon SLR many years ago. I got my point and shoot at Office Depot about 5 years ago for $50, and it's been fine for me. I used it for Charlie's calendar picture too, and he came in second!
