D 251 - Muddy Waters

I've found some due photos on my phone memory card.

D 222 - Rainy days

Funny case.
It looked great through my bare eyes, then it looked poor on the mobile phone LCD, but after spicing it up in Lightroom it looks good again.

D 191 - End of the ride

Fiat 126p - a licensed vehicle manufactured in Poland with a icon status nowadays. This one has been stuck in a parking for over a month. Probably waiting for someones merciful decision to put it down on a scrapyard.

Equipment

D 163 - A Cherub

One of the new fountains at Piotrkowska street, main commercial alley, in my city.

Equipment

Corrected and turned monochrome in Lightroom.

What I learned

Again: "Your best camera is the one you have with you". After Chase Jarvis.

D 155 - Busy Bees

On a walk in the park with my son he collected sow thistles and suddenly a hungry bee came down to feed on those I held in my hand. I just had a mobile phone handy and took this macro shot.

Equipment

Sony-Ericsson W810i.
Cropped and enhanced saturation in Lightroom.

What I learned

I learned to finally leave behind Picasa and do the works in Lightroom. I don't even need to use GIMP, because I don't do any multiple-exposure shots or collages and I gradually learn to appreciate the functions of Library module.

D 134 - Generation Again

My son loves to climb on the desk under this window and watch the cars, clouds or planes. I'll be anti-climatic to inform that he usually laughs and shouts to me about whatever he sees down there. He was not even sad when I took this photo.

Equipment

In Lightroom corrected: levels (strengthening blacks), decreased saturation, split toning, sharpness and noise.

What I learned

Again the same conclusion: it isn't the lens or matrix that makes good photos.

D 114 - Rain filter

Some more exploration of natural filters. Entrance to cemetery shot through wet windshield.

D 109 - Dog couchant

Another snapshot made with mobile phone camera.

D 108 - Road stop

A parking lot with barbecue next to some gas station North of Czestochowa, Poland.

Equipment

D 58 - Not productive

One of those moments at work, when you would give anything to just be somewhere else, doing something more like... more like you, really.

Equipment

Sony-Ericsson W810i.

What I learned

I'm not quite satisfied with this one. Even casual photos made with your mobile phone (the best camera, as in 'the best camera is the one you have with you') should be somewhat planned and redone if not good enough at first.
