I had a hospital appointment in Sheffield yesterday, and arriving back at the station for the journey home found myself with an hour to kill until the next train. I'd not planned on any photography (not really the sort of thing you think about when you know you're going to be stuck in a waiting room for hours on end), but when I saw the "water feature" outside the station, I couldn't resist getting my phone out and trying out the camera on it. It's a Sony Ericsson K810i Cybershot, and I'm quite impressed with the results I got from it.

The fountain that's the centre-piece of the feature.

I really wasn't paying that much attention to actually composing the shots or anything - it was more trying it out to see what it could do (I've only had the phone for a few weeks). I was quite impressed with how it coped with the wall of water - a steel curved 'wall' with water cascading down it constantly. It's captured the effect of the water just how it looked to the naked eye.

Wow, that's great quality from a camera phone. Just shows how far along we've come in recent years.
