Scotland, Travels

Ohhhhh Scotland!

by patricia emerson mitchellLeave a Comment on Ohhhhh Scotland!

I am going through our Great Glen Way walk photos. The majority of what I did was on the iPhone, as I was mostly documenting things and then blogging each evening on my pmtravelingtimes site. iPhone photos are just fine for a blog. When it comes to quality prints, the majority wouldn’t be great. But I think they would work for cards, so maybe I’ll eventually put together a Scotland box. You never know.

Anyway, I’m now on the day we were going from Invermoriston to Drumnadrochit (well, we were actually staying in Lewiston, but they are nearly one and the same). It was an amazing walk! Here are just a few iPhone shots I wanted to share.

And oh how I want to go right back! I mean LOOK at these shots! Ahhhh … so green!

Paris, Travels

Ah, Paris!

Dan has been revisiting his work from Paris, so that got me looking at my old stuff. I’m not at a point where I’ll be sharing anything from the good camera, but when I saw this iPhone shot it just made me smile. Yes, I cut off the top of the clock … I was standing in a spot that did that no matter what. There were so many people taking photos I had to quickly snap some while no one was standing in front of the clock … that didn’t happen very often!

And Sometimes I Just Post an iPhone Photo …

…because that’s what I took!

Yes, I know better. Yes, I know I usually won’t be happy with an iPhone photo as a larger print. But it would make a fine card, and I did manage to print a 12×18 of an iPhone photo once and no one in my photo critique group could tell, so sometimes it DOES work.

iPhone Desert Shots

by patricia emerson mitchellLeave a Comment on iPhone Desert Shots

There is nothing like finding a shot you really like, only to realize it’s an iPhone shot. This means it looks just fine at a small size, but no way can it be printed large. Trust me. Perhaps the next time we go to the desert I’ll keep that phone in my bag and use the better cameras more. I can dream …

Here is Dan on the Dunes. This is a photo that Dan actually processed, so I can’t claim it completely as my own. But it was my photo initially. On my phone. So I put a copyright on it but really that’s kind of a lie, right?

And the title of the one below speaks for itself. 😉

Berlin

The Berlin Wall

by patricia emerson mitchellLeave a Comment on The Berlin Wall

When Dan and I were in Berlin we had to, of course, visit the wall. It would have been wrong not to. The portion that was most stunning was the long run of wall with tons of art on it. Some was being cleaned. Some was being worked on. I wasn’t sure if the work was being done by the original artist or not. Today, though, I started looking at the photos and decided to look up the name of the artist on this little iPhone image.

Yes, that is the original artist, Günther Schaefer. I’m sure of it. I think that’s rather cool. (I wish I’d taken better images. Too late now.)

Here are some more iPhone images. Again, nothing truly print-worthy, but certainly worth viewing.

Home!

by patricia emerson mitchellLeave a Comment on Home!

We have been in New York for a week, and arrived home late last night. I did little with photography, and MUCH less if I only count things other than iPhone images.

This particular image, which I rather like, is from the iPhone: I rarely use a “real” camera when in galleries. This was from the Hockney exhibit at the Met.

Well Shoot …

by patricia emerson mitchellLeave a Comment on Well Shoot …

This is only an iPhone photo, and it won’t print large, which is what I’d love to see.

Yet another lesson learned: don’t choose to use the iPhone simply because you are too lazy to change lenses on the camera(s) that will allow for larger prints!

Still I do believe this will make a lovely card.

This is from our pack trip, and was my favorite meadow. It was evening and the sun was quickly leaving us.

The Camera You Have At Hand

by patricia emerson mitchellLeave a Comment on 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.
