Hiking/Camping/Surfing with an iPhone

A famous photographer, Chase Jarvis, recently published a book called The Best Camera, in which all photos were shot with an iPhone. He says basically says the best camera is the one you have with you. I found myself approaching last weekend without a camera, so I decided to make the most of my iPhone as a photographic tool. Here are the results:

Hiking into the Tailongwan with my board

View along the trail

Shadows on the beach

Udon noodles for dinner (impressed with low light image quality)

View from my campsite

Cool clouds on the beach

Antique wave

I should have taken more photos, especially of people, but I was too busy surfing. In the end, I am very impressed with the iPhones image quality. It also has the nifty feature of focus/metering using touch control, which is pretty awesome. I'm going to start taking my iPhone more seriously as a camera from now on.
