iPhone day 7 - Neal

When I learnt that I would be living in Townsville I looked for a flickr group there and instantly noticed Neal's photography. http://www.flickr.com/photos/nealthorley/

We share a love of film and coffee. We met for a coffee today at Coffee Dominion, perhaps the best coffee shop in Townsville. I shot this image using the Hipstamatic App on my iPhone.

iPhone - Day 5 : Pocket Light Meter App

via itunes.apple.com

I spent most of the day downloading wonderful Indian music from http://ragavibrations.blogspot.com/ and browsing the world of iPhone apps.

I am loving this one. It actually turns my iPhone into a lightmeter - a spotmeter no less. A few quick checks and it tallies with my Minolta spotmeter. Will have to give it a go in the field.

The Hipstamatic App can send you mad. That is all.

iPhone day 3 - HDR at Oonoonba

The iPhone camera has an HDR setting, which I have used here for this image of the old yards at the Oonoonba DPI Station in Townsville, where I work. It's so good to get away from Sydney!

I have been spending quite some time in the stunning and very alluring Apple Store in Sydney. After weighing the various options (iPad, MacBook Air, etc) I settled on an iPhone.

racks of bikes - nobody riding

I spent a couple of days in Brisbane last week. There is a scheme there to hire bikes in the city. One accesses the bike using a swipe card and use of the bike is free for up to 30 minutes. Seems like a great idea. But I saw rack after rack with not a single bike missing. I never saw a soul riding one.

What's wrong?

Is it the roads? I believe it is illegal to drive on the footpath - and though there are bike lanes on the roads they are very close to busses and heavy traffic.. I heard that one problem is that the law requires bike riders to wear a helmet yet health regulations prohibit the renting of a helmet with the bike. So anyone who wants to use the scheme must carry a bike helmet all day.

A bad piece of planning...
