Hey look, I love Amazon. But this video shows how you can NEVER trust little stories that you get from your local stations!

Sketchy iPhone Contest

Look at the #1 winner for this contest in this Yahoo story.

I think that the winner in the iPhone contest may not be legit. I could be wrong. Yeah, maybe they took it with an iPhone, but they would have Photoshop to get straight lines. I guess Photoshop is okay in the contest… not the end of the world, but not really representative of the default iPhone camera. I’ve been to this place in Hong Kong and you have to aim the phone UP to get that shot, so the lines should lean in. I guess they could have fixed the lines in Snapseed or PS. They amped up the colors too, but, hey, you guys know I don’t have a prob with that… unless they are trying to say the iPhone takes accurate photos of colors, in which case this would not be a good representation because the saturation was amped up externally.

Also, I don’t think the iPhone can go that wide. Unless it has a special lens attachment or it’s a pano… Here’s a photo that one of my Twitter followers took with her iPhone:

I agree. This is mine, shot on iPhone. I didn’t edit much and was able to get pretty straight lines, but not nearly as wide. I agree it would be nearly impossible to get that much into the frame without some external ultra wide lens attachment or something. pic.twitter.com/UG2nL81ZbV

And another angle…

Bonus Photos

You’ll see today’s post is about the TD Tadami line in Japan. Here are a few extra photos I took while on the train. I actually take like hundreds and hundreds of photos on these trips, but I’m never sure where to put little miscellaneous ones like these. I thought about starting an Instagram called Trey’s Rejected Photos.
