Some more shots from my cellphone of Mt. Fuji from Yamanashi prefecture.
This was actually one of my nephews' idea...he put his cellphone's camera lens up to a binocular lens and got an instant telephoto lens! Cool idea, so I did the same and this is what I got....pretty damn clear for a cell phone, if you ask me.

Here are a few shots taken with my cellphone....

A little trick with a cellphone camera. Breathe on the lens and take a shot. As a result, you get the effect that fogilizer lens filters give on the bigger cameras. I suppose you can do this on point-and-shoot cameras too.
No trick to this and the one below.
Recently, I went on a trip to Hiroshima with the whole family by bullet train. I took these on the bullet train, cruising at about 290km/h. I'm guessing that the phone mechanics can't keep up to that kind of speed so created this kind of photo. Kind of neat...
On a seperate trip with the family, we went to Yamanashi prefecture. We first made our way through Shizuoka prefecture before going to Yamanashi (Mt. Fuji lies in both Shizuoka and Yamanashi). Normally, you can see Mt. Fuji on a decent day, even all the way from Kanagawa and Saitama prefectures. Well, we spent the whole morning and afternoon driving to and through Shizuoka. Not once did we get to see Mt. Fuji as the skies were full of clouds. Knowing that you are right next to the volcano (driving on roads that lead to it and wrap around it and etc.) and not getting to see it is a big bummer. But after entering Yamanashi and getting close to our hotel, one of my sisters spotted it and this is what we saw.
