Steve, you got great pictures. But to keep up with the competition, then you got to try out new tactics too! I will be waiting to see what you come up with.

Hey Steve,

Do you post on Instagram on a regular basis? If so, how do we find you to follow?

norcalbarney: Phontography — I love it. I’m not ready to work exclusively with the iPhone yet but I could do some nice work with it if I had to. Would be different than the things I can do with a point and shoot with a zoom lens, but still, good stuff possible.

Orin: I've not been in my darkroom in a couple months and I have to say I'm liking that. But another part of me shivers at the thought of never plunging my hands again into a tray of Dektol. I'm holding on tight I suppose.

I don't think it will take too much longer for the iPhone to make another quantum leap in capability. The video editing on the iPhone4 is amazing.

Brady: My Canon G9 is the workhorse of my riding photography but the iPhone is so easy to have with me and as you say, the one you carry is the best one.

That said, I could never execute the same images with the iPhone. The lack of a telephoto lens or RAW files would show. But for some things it is just the ticket.

I've been using cellphone cameras almost exclusively for four years now. The iPhone4 is a great camera with good low-light performance, and adjustable initial-focus video. Plus, a celliecamera does things a normal camera can only dream of. With PixelPipe, you can upload to 100 different sites with one click. Very powerful!

We in mobile call it Phontography.

A recent article in the NY Times pronounced the point-'n-shoot digital camera all but dead, due to the tremendous capabilities of cameras in smartphones. The point-'n-shoots are certainly cheap at the moment.

I gave up on film and silver prints decades ago, and while my iPhone produces some stunning images, it's as much by accident and circumstance. It would be nice to have some adjustability in the iPhone's camera. Maybe the iPhone 5 will have that capability.

But having literally a dozen devices in one package is hard to beat. Especially a small, thin package...

The saying is the best camera is the one you’ve always got. I have to say I love my Canon, but when I don’t have it I miss some great opportunities. Too bad for me. I didn’t arrive on the photo scene until after the digital conversion, but have to say I enjoy my slapdash hackneyed luxury – I can photograph a million things in a million ways and fix and find later

Charlie6: Let me know if you figure out some new approach to pictures. I was out riding today for seven hours and tried and tried to make something different. Always the same result. The Vespa looks like something fromf Mount Olympus.

I've not forgotten your package. I just had something I wanted to add. Will send it on Monday.

Dear Mr. Riepe: I am always so enthralled with your prose that I forget to look at the pictures.

I think the Droid camera is great. Probably better than the one in my iPhone.
