Crappy cellphone photo of the day

Golf Junction xtracycle

The trek sits in front of the Portland Traction/PG&E substation at Golf Junction during a sunny interval this afternoon. If you look at the hugest version of this photo, you’ll see the moon peeking through powerlines as well as all the grain you can eat, because the photo sensor, despite being tiny, appears to only have a thousand or so receptors and when the light levels are low (fsvo “low”) the little Linux cellphone’s brain goes pop and picture quality goes right out the window.

It’s marginally better than the little Nikon CBC I’ve got, which turns on the flash at the slightest provocation, and then shuts itself off after ever picture so it can recharge the flash capacitors :-(
