Totally amateur phone camera pics thread.

Growing a little at a time.

But signs of what’s to come are appearing.

Just an iPhone 13 Pro Max. Shot with no filters (I think my daughter turned off something default, and I expect the camera does its own thing internally that I don't know about or haven't found). I do a lot of resizing, to bring up details, but I do get right down close - the salt stain shot above, that's just holding the camera an inch or 2 off the ground. Really for what I am doing, I should get a camera stand and remote shutter clicker, but I'm just learning all this stuff. I have used some filters, and some shots I do a little post production like straightening, brightness etc, but just what's right there on the Apple camera menu. My daughter, again, taught me this stuff in under 10 minutes.

Thank you for the kind words!

I forgot to add - I paint, and I paint almost exclusively abstracts, and that influences strongly what I look for and find to photograph, most of the time. Some of my paintings are back in the thread.
 
I recognize that focus isn’t super crisp on a lot of my pics. These shots of rock in my yard are close taken, then cropped and blown up to and maybe past crisp, for effect. I need a little tripod. Also, it always seems a certain area of the image is more blurred, maybe lens needs cleaning.

Not inherently funny, I get it, with apologies to redheads. That didn’t stop me from busting out laughing at Costco, and suggesting to my daughter they should keep some in the car in case of random roaming gangs.

My old band was performing at a small town pub one night. Just as we hit the last note in the song and before the crowd applauded, we could hear an argument happening in the background. I heard one guy yell at another: “GINGER IS NOT A RACE”. That’s always stuck with me.
