I recently took some new photos with the Nokia N95. I never used to “get” the idea of a cameraphone. But having a decent camera on my hip at all times has really been beneficial. You never know when you’re going to want to snap a pic. Actually I went to the Bridgestone Invitational last Saturday to watch Tiger Woods dominate the leaderboard. Sadly, they didn’t permit cell phones or cameras. *sigh* Other comments are interspersed.

Fireworks are always hard to photograph–but I’m pretty happy with the way this shot came out. It was taken at a Tribe game against the Tigers. Tribe won, w00t.

This picture is of my daughter Maddie. It was taken on one of the rare sunny days we’ve had in Cleveland lately. The N95’s camera excels in bright-light situations.

An interesting sign. No comment.

A very well-nourished arachnid which was hanging around the web he built next to my barbecue grille. It was hard to get him focus in the low-light, perhaps because I was so close and he was such a relatively small subject. But man was he a mean-looking one. Isn’t he a good artist?



Ugh…
