iPhoneography: Blood Collecting

As you might be able to tell, I really like photography. My husband and I have many a camera; digital SLRs, film SLRs, medium format film cameras, and a Leica. One type of camera we have never been good at maintaining? Point-and-shoots. 
When I first met Dan, he had a point-and-shoot camera that produced a permanent spot on all the images. If it were framed it right, you too could have a black spot on your forehead. After that camera finally breathed its last breath, we used a Canon Powershot that Dan gave me for Christmas one year. That served us well… until I lost it (and all our wedding/honeymoon pictures) on our honeymoon cruise.
So now, I use my iPhone as a point-and-shoot. If Cameron is being cute, I’ll snap a photo with the camera app. But if the photography bug bites me, I grab a Nikon.
So, I like the challenge of trying to look through my iPhone screen with a photographer’s eye.
Today, I had to get my blood drawn. Well, to be truthful, last month I was supposed to get my blood drawn. But I got around to doing it today. I thankfully remembered to pull out my phone and tried to find something image worthy.
I used my Instagram app to boost the colour of the photo a bit. (Are you on Instagram? You should friend me. My moniker is mompants).

  3. Love it, Laura! Thanks so very much for linking up. Are we following one another on Instagram? Going to look….

  4. I hate to say I love this photo because I really detest having my blood drawn….BUT I do love these colors and the repetition of the vials. Great capture. :-)

  5. Thanks! I was so glad to find something interesting so I could snap this photo. I was excited to link up to iPhoneography after seeing it on your blog last week! :)

  8. Thanks a bunch! I have to admit, I usually stick to the digital cameras. My husband is a real fan of the film (current and vintage). He even has some old Russian cameras that I didn't mention because I forgot their names. But that doesn't mean I don't appreciate them! :)
