[landscape portrait passing us by]
It seems like I am constantly going going going and as a result more and more of my photography has been with my cell phone. And from the car. Frankly I'm not sure how I feel about that, but it is what it is. What I have discovered in the process is that while I am not ready to hang up the Nikon, I can still accomplish what I always wanted to do with my photography and that was to memorialize the moment. Blogging, however, has turned into a powerpoint presentation of the where and when and less about verbalizing the stories behind the images.
[when weather meets travel meets smartphone]
What will that mean for the foreseeable future?
The 2016 family photo album may be "2016 iPhone memories".
More travel photography, less still-life.
More travel photography, less still-life.
Fewer posts about photographic technique, more about what you can do with a smartphone.
Hopefully some story cameos.

Clearly, all First World problems.

To me, pictures are eye candy to words.
I love a good story.
I like it even better with pictures.
I love those last lines!!!
ReplyDeleteThat sunrise - wowza!!
ReplyDeleteThat's quite a sunrise on your morning commute...looks like you will have the sun directly in your eyes momentarily. I'm very grateful for my cell phone camera.
ReplyDeletei do believe a story can be told with an image. sometimes less (words) is more. i try to share my story with pictures because i seem to enjoy it more that way. i was never a "fancy pants" photographer....just a girl who likes to take pictures with a fancy pants camera.
ReplyDeleteit's so funny because i always take the nikon with me. one day i grabbed the camera bag for a trip to the beach and i didn't realize the camera wasn't in it. i wasn't going to bother using my phone, i barely thought about it. but i decided to take some pics with it for my sister and when they loaded on the mac, they were gorgeous and i used them for the blog. go figure.....i never really think about the phone as a camera but my iPhone 6 takes pretty good pictures.
these images are really pretty, i'm loving' the rain!!!!!
enjoyed all :)
ReplyDeleteLovely captures! Sometimes it is exciting to let everyone compose their own story for the photo ... Find meaning through the visual input alone. I am nodding here as I read ~ My last year was 80 % iPhone and 20 % Nikon ... Let's see how 2016 will be ... It worked just fine , yet I stayed to miss the big camera and am having it with me a bit more often now.., Yet sometimes I take the photo with Nikkn and end up doing some editing in iPhone anyway :)
ReplyDeleteI totally know where you are - many of us feel the same way. There is something so simple about that camera phone, a couple clicks in an app and a quick upload to the social media account of choice. But if I want DOF, I always go with the big camera. I love your last photo - cool art rendering of a lovely scene.
