Despite taking 100’s of snaps with my new (ish) camera phone I don’t seem to have much in the way of full bloom colour, rainbows, flowers, clowns, carnivals, hot air balloons or other assorted chunky colour filled shots. At least not this summer. So I’ve dug up a few photos I took waaaay back in good old 2006!
The blue flowers and gorgeous tomatoes were on Cambridge market. The green bamboo shot was taken outside just after it had rained. I couldn’t decide which one to use so there are three to make you smile!
The quality of the pics isn’t that great, I think they were taken with a Sony Ericsson camera phone, which I have a feeling was the one I dropped in the toilet by mistake. Didn’t work for much longer after that, strange.



The colors in the pictures are wonderful but I love love love the blue. So vivid. You need to have a camera with you at all times. You take beautiful pictures!

I think the blue flowers would make a decent wall print, on canvas maybe.

Thank you for making me smile and go green with envy at the same time! The colours are absolutely beautiful both on their own and one after the other.

Thanks Patti! They work well like that. I didn’t really consider the fact that they were single colours, just that they looked bright and bold.

Yup! There hasn’t been any editing or Photoshop work done on any of them. Those flowers were just sat in a bucket at a florists on Cambridge Market. One camera phone and me.

Those camera phones had quite a decent camera. I used mine one night to take some images of fireworks and they all came out quite good, there again I am biased I used to work for Ericsson

I had 4 Sony Ericsson’s and they all took great pics, and the flash wasn’t bad either. I’m surprised those pics taken 5 years ago still look half way decent.
