As a mac fanboy, and always first to reach for my iPhone 5 I thought the comparison between the range of iPhones would be very interesting! From the photos below it’s amazing to see how much the quality has jumped up, especially from the 3G to the 3GS! Photo comparisons from all iPhone version cameras taken with Camera+ (First generation iPhone, iPhone 3G, iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4, the iPhone 4S, and the new iPhone 5) in three situations… Read more »

A combination of things prompted me to write this blog. Firstly with Xmas on our doorsteps, friends & family are already asking what I want for Christmas. Secondly my friend and lover of awesome stuff Ben wrote a blog on his website on what to get him for Christmas.

Below is a haunting collection of photos showing what it would look like if the ghosts of World War II appeared on our streets today. The amazing images have been overlaid with photos taken recently, providing a glimpse into World War II.
