Nexus S Picture a Day » Todd http://tmpic.com Phone Photography by Todd Tue, 02 Aug 2011 22:27:07 +0000 en hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 Not Quite Hot Enough To Fry An Egg http://tmpic.com/2011/08/02/not-quite-hot-enough-to-fry-an-egg/ http://tmpic.com/2011/08/02/not-quite-hot-enough-to-fry-an-egg/#comments Tue, 02 Aug 2011 17:32:05 +0000 Todd http://tmpic.com/?p=131 failed fried egg on pavement experiment

Apparently 104 degrees isn't quite hot enough to fry an egg on the pavement. But hey, the last dozen we bought had one egg that was already cracked, and stuck in the carton, so it was an obvious candidate for this classic experiment.

... which unfortunately, turned out to be a big fat fail!

But at least it wasn't a total loss. I still got to take a fairly interesting picture of the day.

Til next time,
Todd

It seems like I get stuck at this stop light every morning on my way to work. It's not a short stop light either. I usually end up sitting here for between 3 and 5 minutes .. long enough that it's worthwhile to grab my phone and read an article or two in my feed reader while I wait for it to turn green.

On the bright side, at least I wasn't going the other direction. That line of cars you can see in my mirror is waiting to get onto Fort Hood, main post. Once I make it through this light, the gate to get onto West Fort Hood, where I work, is much less congested. I call this my morning rush .. but really, it's just a relatively unstressful little 15-20 minute jaunt.

And today, it was even better, since I was able to knock out my very 1st picture of the day less than an hour after I crawled out of bed. No pressure. ;-)

So for my new picture a day project, starting tomorrow, 1 August 2011, I'm going to use only the camera on my Nexus S phone. In addition, I'm going to try to do all my post processing on the phone too. My favorite Android photo editing app is PicSay Pro. However, I also have Photoshop Express .. and FX and Retro Camera in case I want to do something different when I'm talking the pictures.

At the very least, I'll put up one new picture every day for the next year. This will include my 6 months in Afghanistan. If there's an interesting story that goes with the picture, I'll certainly add a few words ... but it's also entirely possible that many of the posts will just be the picture.

If you'd like to follow along, you grab my RSS feed address. Or, I'll also be posting links to the daily posts on Google Plus and Facebook.

I hope you enjoy!

Todd
