Totally amateur phone camera pics thread.

We were walking in nicely wooded neighborhood near us after the recent rains. My wife found this cool moss and fungi covered piece of bark near the creek that runs through it.

The pic of the camera is the only one that's from a phone camera. The others are from the camera in the pic - a Sony FD Mavica MVC-FD75. The photos from it aren't nearly as sharp as the ones from pretty much any cell phone today (mine is a very basic ZTE Avid 579), but they have an interesting texture. The filters are really easy to use...the first pic has no filter applied; after that, the filters used are titled "Neg. Art," "Sepia," "B&W," and "Solarize," which is basically a crude, non-adjustable saturation. I know today's phone cameras have many more sophisticated filter options, but I'd never use them. I was going to sell this Sony Mavica on eBay, but I think I'll keep it. It's just different enough to keep, and I happen to have a floppy disk and drive that's compatible with my laptop.

Our local creek after the current storms.
There's usually somewhere between 2" and 6" of water here.
If you look toward the back you'll see a drainage pipe, it's about a 12" pipe, and the water level usually is about 8 feet (maybe 10?) below that.
It's pretty amazing.
