In the Port of Cork again

All these images were taken within less than three minutes long time frame, however, they differ distinctly due to the amount of light entering the camera. The more directly the sun is positioned against the camera lens, the darker the final image appears. At the same time, colours are enhanced in a way and lighting of the image is effected interestingly, proving that a mobile camera can take a good looking picture, actually advancing all its limitations and drawbacks in favour of the outcome.

Sights of Port of Cork

These images picture the on water entrance to the town, all three from the south side view. Two of them were taken at the same time, third one quite a time before, it shows clearly the weather was different and the lighting effects the colours distinctively.

Shortly about me, the blog, the camera and James Bond

I moved to Cork in April 2007 and live here ever since. About a year ago I got a cool phone (it's so cool, James Bond was using it in Quantum of Solace) Sony Ericsson C902 which accommodates 5 megapixel camera and started taking pictures all across the town. This blog is intended to be a place where I share the best of them, mostly as they were taken without having them edited in any way, except for resizing.
