The sunrise colours are so lavish this time of year.

that is quite the shot from a little teeny phone.

Online reviews of the 'phone have not been kind to its built-in camera, yet it puts in a credible performance particularly with some HDR software assist.  What it really has going for it is that it's always to hand; I love the Nikon but it's not always there when the moment comes along.

Which HDR software are you referring to?

I don't tell you enough -- but you take awesome photos -- and that one is no exception!

Thank you for your comment and your kind words.
Glad you liked the image -- woke up that morning and that's what it looked like out the window, so I grabbed the 'phone and took the picture.

... and that's why you always have a camera close by!

:-D

I do try, but it's not always feasible.  My workplace is not camera-friendly (actually forbidden, though they're often lax enough about that sort of thing that I could probably get away with it, but I prefer to hold to a higher professional standard than that locally prevailing).

And thank you for not being a Russian language LJ spambot.  Until your recent post I had no idea what was going on over there.  At this point the only thing that's keeping my account alive there is that DW doesn't have the functional equivalent of the LJ scrapbook, in which I have way too many images to feasibly migrate anywhere else.

You're welcome! Mine is locked down tight, but I still get "subscription" requests from those. *sigh*

I've worked in places like that -- and they did take it seriously.

I get notified when LJ_news posts a new entry. I haven't looked lately, but I'm wondering if that comment stuff didn't max out the comments like we did in September of 2010. And then I saw the New Layout. >shudders< -- they really are trying to turn it into Facebook! (and the crappy new facebook at that!)

But yeah. And see, I've got a Permanent Account -- so it makes no difference to them one way or another. But I really do hope for soon scrapbook image stuff over here.
