Foodie Friday

Remembering your favorites meals is easy with your i-Phone when out for a dinner. Looking at these scallops I can almost remember the sweet delicate taste and texture.

Ipoh Tauge (beansprout)

Ipoh in Malaysia is well known for its wonderful street food and one of the most famous dishes is the Ipoh chicken rice usually served up with a large plate of bean sprouts (locally called tauge). These wonderful fresh, fat, juicy bean sprouts are basically blanched for a matter of a few seconds in boiling water and then served with soya sauce and usually a springing of pepper.

Afternoon High Tea at Eastern & Oriental Hotel

Today's i-Phone Friday image was taken at the wonderful traditional English afternoon tea at the Eastern & Oriental (E&O) Hotel in Georgetown, Penang. Served in the 1885 Restaurant it's like turning the clock back 50 to 100 years, with starched white table covers, period furniture and service to match. Cucumber sandwiches, a selection of cakes and scones with cream and jam all washed down with a choice of fine teas all served on the best china.

Call Waiting

i-Phone Friday today features the spectacular Petronas Towers connecting bridge that spans between the two towers at Levels 41 and 42 taken on a rather gloomy and rainy afternoon.

This photo epitomizes that frustrating feeling of anticipation when waiting on a telephone call. Maybe your waiting on that call back from the girl you have asked out for a date, or perhaps that important call back about the job you recently interviewed for, or maybe even those crucial medical results. Whatever it is you can waste a tremendous amount of time just looking at the phone and waiting.

Los Arcos Dry Amontillado

i-Phone Friday today highlights a great use for the i-Phone when out at a restaurant and you want to remember the wine you ordered and enjoyed .... easiest thing is to take a quick picture with your i-Phone. This image was post-processed in the wonderful i-Phone app "100 Cameras" from Trey Ratcliff.

The image shot here was a great sherry we had during our visit to Spain .... well worth remembering!

i-Phone Friday

It's Friday and time for a new theme. I call it i-Phone Friday. The i-Phone camera produces a pretty decent 5 Mp image and now with the multitude of photo post-processing i-Phone apps it's amazing what you can produce from a very portable and easily accessible camera in your pocket. So I decided to start to hone my skills in the use of my i-Phone camera and the few photography apps I have just to see what we can come up with.

So starting today here is the first i-phone image .... a pretty mundane shot of a flower .... a little mini rose that is in my garden. The shot is post processed in a recent app released by Nik Software called SnapSeed which offers a multitude of image manipulation and filters.

So look out every Friday will now be i-Phone Friday ..... let's see how creative we can be .... hope my Canon 5D will not get too jealous!

i-Cycle

Everyone seems to cycle in Amsterdam and it's fun to watch all the different styles of bikes as well at the many styles of cycling. This lady was more intent on her phone than the business of cycling or perhaps she was just lining up the next mp3 playlist to give her inspiration for the ride home.
