Photography with a mobile telephone

Mobile telephones are incredible pieces of equipment. All that technology in one small unit. One of my favourite features on a mobile is the camera. Yes, it can be great being able to make and receive calls, send and receive texts, and browse the Internet but when the signal fails you, the camera will still work. There are all sorts of creative techniques which can be used with a mobile telephone camera but those are for another day. For now, I thought I would share a photograph which I took early this morning when out walking.

I like the mist in this photograph. I always find early morning or late evening good times for taking quite evocative pictures, especially as autumn approaches. The sky is a little bright and you can in fact see it more clearly in the reflection in the water. There is also a bit of sun glare at the bottom of the picture (the green spot being the most obvious). Overall though, I was pleased with the composition and the feel of the picture. Looking in from the outside, I wonder what the dog was looking at. Was he enjoying the view, watching something in the distance, or perhaps contemplating the day ahead. As his owner, I can say for certain that he was not thinking about jumping into the lake ... he hates swimming!
