Strangely Van Gogh-y. I really don't like these type of effects usually but for some reason I think that picture looks great

I have an iPhone 4 with a Lifeproof case which adds some hefty coating over the lens rendering my camera abilities fairly useless... I would rather my phone be waterproof and shockproof etc than a good camera! In all honesty I don't think there is much in it RE the cameras but I shall go and...

Hey guys, I am off to Croatia for a few days next week and don't fancy taking my D5100 as I am going with the lads and probably not staying in the nicest of hotels. Just after a good quality point and shoot for the beach/nights out etc. I want to spend around £100-£120 and don't mind if...
