This photo was taken with my iPhone 3GS whilst on a working trip to Mt Gambier. It was also one of the last photos I took with that phone before I bought the iPhone 4. Whilst good, I never really thought the camera on the 3GS as adequate. The iPhone 4 is a completely different beast.

With the new phone, I’m going to try my own version of the 365 / Photo-A-Day Project. The rules are simple:

1. Post three photos each week to Twitter / Flickr
2. The image must be taken with the iPhone 4
3. The image can only be manipulated in the iPhone 4
4. The image is posted via the iPhone 4

Hope I can stick to this one (although I’ve never tried before), and that it makes me a better photog. My better / non-iPhone photos will still be posted here, at the same, inconsistent rate as previous!

These are Whitestem Paperflower (Psilostrophe cooperi), a profusely flowering plant that dries cream (the original flower is yellow) and have the texture of paper. The paper flowers then hang around for a long time and look great.

Taken on the Yellow Waters Cruise, Kakadu, Australia.

If anyone ever gets a chance to go to Kakadu, this cruise is a must. However, I suggest booking the early morning time slot during the wet season, as we did come back with family on another date during the lunch session. Wow, it was hot! Most of the animals thought the same, and were nowhere to be found.

One of the first captures with the Nikkor 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6 lens. Taken out the front of my house, where these flowers were growing like weeds.

A juicy succulent found at mom’s house whilst testing out the then new (now sold) Nikkor 70-300mm lens.
