Tina’s challenge is Phone Photography. I usually take my DSLR camera and telephoto lenses with me when I am going anywhere to try to capture wildlife shots. Otherwise, I always have my phone in my pocket or purse when I am out and about. I never know when something photo worthy will come up.
I like to use my phone to capture close ups of flowers and critters I find on flowers when I am on a walk or in my garden.
The Brown Pelican was taken with my old IPhone 7 Plus. All the rest were taken with my current IPhone 13.
Thank you to everyone who shared you wonderful images in Egidio’s challenge Color in Black and White.

Thanks Teresa. I was surprised the pelican didn’t fly off before I could take a photo. Through the windshield pictures don’t always work but I never stop taking them.

Those macros are really great. I still struggle with them when I use a phone.

Thank you. I’m glad you like the macros. I use my phone for flower pictures a lot so I’ve had lots of practice. The hard part for me is making sure the light is good and there are no shadows. There are a lot that end up trashed.
