The Camera You Have At Hand

… sometimes the iPhone is the camera at hand. So you use it.

As we were hiking one of my cameras was in my backpack and the other was being brought in by the pack train. I was not hiking quickly so I didn’t ever pull out the backpack camera (my Canon Rebel SL2) to shoot anything: I didn’t want to be TOO far behind! Thus, the iPhone was put to use when I wanted to capture a moment, even while I knew I probably wouldn’t use the images for larger prints. Still, I think some are worth sharing.

A Great Trip!

We are just back from a wonderful pack trip in the Sierra Nevada range. I hadn’t been camping for more than twenty years, and hadn’t walked as long and on as difficult a trail for even longer. I had the best time, and was so honored to get to spend the week with some fantastic photographers (including my own guy, G Dan Mitchell) who have done a trip annually for quite some time (I am not naming the others at the moment, as I haven’t asked permission and I’m sort of cautious about that sort of thing).

It seems appropriate to post this first image — flowers of course! — before anything else. I’m not sure what I’ll find in the many images I shot, but I’m hopeful I’ll share more soon. First, though, I’m back to opera and must put on my musician hat for a time.
