Bad pictures and Fish Tacos

" chiakifestation "

washed out / red ring

There are certain things you can do with bad pictures but unfortunately with food, not too much.   Headed over to Sausalito, CA and walked into a joint that looked good.  Simple Fish Taco that turned out just.....  Swiping through the pictures taken on the iPhone 4, most out door images of the Bay turned out bad.   Its amazing how important "Lighting", is when taking pictures.  Misjudging the lighting can turn a beautiful view of the Bay, not so beautiful.   In this case the glare from the sun interfered with the camera's sensors and caused the saturation levels way too low.   You can also see the red stain around the entire image caused by the way the camera handled the light intake.  I sometimes wonder if the sensor in the iPhone is tricked by the added plastic ring around the lens from the iPhone Case.  I am now on my third iPhone 4 due to random issues.  The first iPhone 4 had the "NO SIM CARD" problem where the SIM Card would come loose after walking or lightly jogging. The second was experiencing image quality issues. This one seems to be all good. Interestingly enough, this so-called Phone has taught me a lot about photography.  Its all about the right lighting and the composition of the image.  In reality, this is a phone that has the potential to take great photos depending on the users understanding of basic photography.  What do I do with bad pictures?  I hide the imperfections. I thank RATT for the inspiration, "chiakifestation".   Go and get their latest album, "Infestation".  Its one of the best albums out this year.  You can check out one of their tracks on the Metal Moment Podcast Episode 037.  Its the bonus track that was on the Japanese and iTunes release.  しかし、写真の世界は非常に面白い。写真のコンポジションや光の美しさ。iPhoneを手に入れてから写真を取るだけではなく写真を作ると言う事の理解ができて来たような感じがします。これまであまり写真をとる事には興味が無かったのですが携帯電話を持ち歩く限りカメラも付いてくるので何か目に付いたら写真をとると言う新たなるADDICTION.　　iPhone 4 の 5 MegaPixel カメラは明かりによってデジカメなみの写真が撮れます。残すはユーザーさんしだい。ゴールデン・ゲート・ブリッジとまずいタコスの写真はまあまあって感じ。右上の写真はセンサーの光かげんに問題があったのでこのままじゃ使えない。こう言う場合には少しRATTに力を借りて新たなるインスピレーションを。（残念ながらまずいタコスの味は直せませんでしたけどね。RATTの新しいアルバムは　”インフェステーション”。この写真は　“チアキフェステーション”。何も意味がないのに、俺も馬鹿だと、言う事で メタル・モーメント・ポッドキャスト 代　37で　iTunesと日本版のみで聞けるRATTの新曲をお聞きください。
