Photograph and Camera talk

Really cool shot. Sometimes you have to try to become the tripod. If you can lean up against something.

Thanks fellas (and ladies).

Another sunrise shot. Picture posted up looking crappy,so I deleted it.

Couple of pics from my walk to ASDA… Living the dream!

[Jett129]

I’m a big fan of reflective photography,I’m also a big fan of your photography. So where or what is ASDA?

ASDA is a crappy British supermarket.

I mentioned to Sam in an email recently that I  very much enjoy the creative motifs and humour in his pictures as well as his technical skill.

[Jett129]

Well then the photography is way better than the supermarket,and he should walk there with his camera more often.

Asda is the English Walgreens @Jett129

Sunrise this morning. Sky really looked like that.

^ Great image ^

Really nice @Jett129 and thank you! I think ASDA is actually the English Walmart. They have better deals (so my girlfriend says)

I find it hard to take the credit for my technical ability when I took the picture on an iPhone but I still appreciate it @neph93

[Alex]

Yes, Walmart. I got them mixed up. Thanks sam

West Wales is mostly this in every direction. Nice if you like that kind of thing but awful for young people.

[Jett129]

@Sam You tend to be pretty modest about your photographic skills,but a couple of things have to happen in order for us to see those pictures. You see the reflections,the training kicks in,you take out your phone,compose the shot,and if you hadn’t told me I never would’ve known that it was a phone picture. Most people can’t do it. As far as Walmart or Walgreens go,I wouldn’ Know the difference,but I’m sure my wife would be able to tell me.

Penvins beach, lovely and quiet.

Cheers @Jett129 I think phone photography is slowly becoming more wildly accepted despite the general lack of control you get over the exposure and depth of field. Most of which can be fiddled with in post anyway. I do hide in the shadows of modesty… I'm sure a therapist could tell me why 

You're welcome @Alex
Keeping you honest on the important things in life 

Lovely landscapes @dave28 and @David_pll The rule of thirds in action!

As @Jett129 says there are lots of skills involved in your iPhone photography. Maybe technical is the wrong word. Theoretical perhaps? Composition, understanding how the light works etc.

[Jett129]

I think technical was/is the right word,because without the technical ability,you're not always able to capitalize on the creative impulse and achieve a successful outcome. I think sometimes my creative side helps me to compensate for some of my technical deficiencies,which is what causes me to delete a lot of my images.
