photo by Jeremy Brooks, via Flickr Another photo taken with an iPhone, this time on San Francisco’s Muni Rail. It’s obviously not good to see a cracked window — and I don’t know how it happened — but it was used to good photographic effect. To submit a photo for [continue reading]
photo by Jan Kretschmer, via Flickr Another nice photo taken with an iPhone, this time of a bus lane in Munich and the bus and U-bahn station. Jan did a great job capturing the dark of the street and the white light of the station. Some of his other iPhone [continue reading]
photo by the dude abides, via submission Proof again that the subject of a photo doesn’t have to dominate the frame. The inbound Gold Line train is seen here across Los Angeles State Historic Park on the northern end of downtown L.A. The photo was taken with the Instagram app [continue reading]

photos by Michel Saive, via his Flickr photostream Michel took both of these photos in Poland and then processed them with the tilt-shift method that makes the subjects look like toys or miniatures.
