16 Stunning iPhone Photos on Flickr

Wired.com reported yesterday that “despite its minimal camera features, the iPhone has just surpassed Canon’s Digital Rebel XTi as the most popular camera” on Flickr.

Amazing, but not surprising. iPhone’s portability and constant connection to the web make it an ideal tool for photo sharing. That’s not to say the device has littered Flickr with a bunch of crappy photographs, though. In fact, the iPhone can capture some pretty great shots, which is why today I’ve decided to highlight these 16 beautiful iPhone photos that have been shared on Flickr:

Note: I have posted these images here to honor the work of great photographers, not to steal it. I include a credit and a link above all of the photos below, but if you are the photographer and you object to having your work displayed here, please contact me on Flickr and I will happily remove your photo.

    I have been watching a documentary about Ansel Adams, and he said that photography, as a powerful medium of expression and communications, offers an infinite variety of perception, interpretation and execution.
    I am beginning to believe he was and is true!

    He shouldn’t have given that man a dirty look… Under the rain, now he walks towards him, and he’s going to want to settle business once and for all, rain or not…

    :-)

    During the next days, considering that it’s raining almost every day this week in New York, I’ll be posting a series of my newest rain shots. Most of you know it’s one of my fondest photo fetishes… So here they go… the first five.

    Who ran away halfway through a call and left the phone hanging like that…. I couldn’t help but wonder… would there be a voice on the other side of the line, had I picked it up?

    Too creepy a possibility for me to even consider it… :-P

    Yeah, Officer O’Brian here.
    Huh? Ma? What are you…?
    Look, Ma – this ain’t a good time to talk. I’m in the middle of an arrest here.
    Yeah, I know I said I’d call you back earlier today, but I’m busy.
    What? Ma…I’m telling you..this isn’t a good –
    Gosh, I don’t know…meatloaf, ok? You can make me meatloaf! Whatever.
    What?? Side dishes? Oh for cryin’ out loud…
    Seriously, Ma — can we talk about this later?
    I know, but I don’t care that you’re at the supermarket now!
    I’M TRYING TO MAKE AN ARREST HERE!!
    I’m…
    *sigh*
    Ma, I’m sorry. I’m sorry! I didn’t mean to raise my voice. It’s just…
    Ok ok ok ok.
    I know. Just get whatever, ok?
    No, I’m not going to complain later. I swear I’ll eat whatever you get!
    Ma, c’mon…you’re embarrassing me here. My partner is starting to roll his eyes at me.
    Aw, don’t make me say it now…
    MA!
    –I don’t–
    *sigh*
    ….I love you too, ok?
    I’ll be home at 8.
    Ok ok ok! 7! I’ll be there at 7.
    Geez!

  8. “Two (French) Hipsters”


    By: sionfullana
    Caption:

    So when the L train finally arrived, I walk in and sit… and first thing I notice is these two guys (apparently strangers, as the black guy is reading and the other is just people watching). Very hipster-ish outfits and looks…

    So there I go… and snap their photo. Across, sitting at my left, there was a black girl, also a bit hipster… who saw me taking the image and gave me quite a look, but didn’t say anything…

    A few minutes later, it turns out the THREE OF THEM were together… and the girl told them something in French and they started talking (probably about me, as the two guys looked at me briefly while the conversation was going on).

    Hey, if you don’t want your picture taken, don’t be calling attention with those looks, boys!!! :-) )))

Some of these iPhone photos have been digitally edited, but they are impressive nonetheless. Have you taken any good snapshots with your iPhone camera? Or have you seen iPhone photos on Flickr that really caught your eye? Please share in the comments.

The Modern Bathroom Remodel

Posted by on under modern bathroom, bathroom remodel, clash, zen, umbrella, bathrooms |

The interesting thing about modern bathrooms is that no two are alike. Because of the varying sub-styles under the “modern” umbrella, you can take pieces from one style and mix it with another and never clash. Urban, Asian, Zen and futuristic are all inspired by a basic theme – they must be highly functional and [...]

Calm before the Spirit storm

Posted by on under ipad, ipads, comex, security weaknesses, jailbreak, blobs, ipod touch, untethered, jb, vulnerability, umbrella, spirit |

At some point after (don’t ask when!) the iPad 3G is actually in customers’ hands, the first “userland” jailbreak since firmware 1.x will be released by @comex. It’s called “Spirit” and was first demonstrated working on an iPad by @MuscleNerd within 24 hours of the iPad’s release on April 3.

Userland jailbreaks are more troublesome for Apple since they expose security weaknesses that exist even for non-jailbroken owners. As such, Apple is likely to close them soon after they’re made public. One recent example of this is the SMS vulnerability exposed at Blackhat last summer. Apple released new firmware to close that hole within a day.

The Spirit jailbreak is most useful for newer devices: iPhone 3GS, iPod Touch 3G, and the iPads. Unfortunately those devices are the same ones that Apple can prevent you from downgrading unless you’ve got a backup of your personalized SHSH blobs. Unless you’ve backed up your SHSH blobs for vulnerable firmware versions, you’ll lose the ability to use the current Spirit jailbreak if you accidentally upgrade.

Please take the steps now to backup your SHSH blobs. Use either Firmware Umbrella to create a local copy, or go through saurik’s server. If you are getting an iPad 3G, it’s safest to backup your blobs using Firmware Umbrella, in case saurik’s server gets bogged down with requests.

Other things about Spirit that are useful to know:

  • Spirit is an untethered jailbreak.
  • Spirit works on all devices. (However, the redsn0w and PwnageTool flows will continue to work on those devices they’ve always worked on)
  • Spirit does not include a carrier unlock. (Please don’t bug @comex about that)
  • Spirit requires your device to be activated or hacktivated

Please make sure you have your SHSH blobs backed up! While @comex has indicated he’s not going to release the very minute the iPad 3G is out, there’s no telling what Apple might do anyway.

Update Friday, Apr 30:

As expected, the iPad 3G is equally vulnerable to @comex’s Spirit JB, as demonstrated below on MuscleNerd’s device soon after it arrived by FedEx on the iPad 3G release day.

Before even running Spirit, however, a backup of that iPad 3G’s blobs was made. Even though he already had blobs for his iPad Wifi, they can’t be used on the iPad 3G (or any other iPad Wifi or other device for that matter). Blobs are unique per-device, per-firmware.

Recall of Solar Powered Umbrella and Bunk Beds

The Consumer Product Safety Commission just issued two new recalls of products for the home. Bed Bath & Beyond's "Solar Lighted Cantilevered Umbrellas" have been recalled due to the risk of a plastic connector breaking, which causes the umbrella to collapse on the user. Find out all the details on the recall page. Pottery Barn's "Madeline Bunk Beds" were also recalled because of an entrapment hazard. The end structure of the bed was designed in such a way that children can get ...
