Photograph and Camera talk

Personal I just use my Iphone connected to a bluetooth shutter remote (Amazon). Put the phone somewhere and shoot some pics. Sunlight is your friend, as well as shooting a few more pics, since you can always delete em. Try and error and don’t overthink the lot… it’s about having fun and not work imo...
That is exactly how I do it write down to the philosophy which is even more important IMO

I hate voice writing
I do just like rocket

Awesome thanks for all the responses! Guess, I need to be more adventurous propping the phone when out and about. And def agree about the front camera lense sucking vs the big boy on back.
Great call on the remote shutter. I'll check the 'zon when back home. (Yes, I did just make that up and agree its horrible, haha)

There’s a difference….I always use the front......I’ll try the back

@Dishelveled find a very good friend or search for a new one and make them your best friend. include in the friendship agreement that it is a must to help take photos. Hint: it's a plus if they have good camera skills..

Believe it or not I actually taught myself to use a DSLR about 8 years ago and have a Canon and a Panasonic Micro Four Thirds system camera with quite the array of lenses and did quite a bit of nature photography and that kind of thing. I've also barely used them for the last four years because who can be arsed lugging all that about when you've got a mobile.
On the other hand, I'm heartily sick of how shite iPhone pics really are, so I've invested in what is supposed to be a very tasty point and click, the Panasonic/Lumix DMC-TZ100. I can control it from my phone and it Wifi's my shots to it. Anyone know anything more about it?

All great questions @neph93 …I'm similarly interested in learning about the pros and cons of the option you are considering.

A shot i took yesterday. Unfortunately i didnt have my ricoh just the crappy smartphone cam.

shoot for the stars. attempting sun stars. it's easy to do it on long exposure at night but hard to perfect on a bright day like this..

A while back I got frustrated with the pictures from my phone, and after a bit of research bought myself a DSLR camera (Nikon 3400). I know very little about photography. I’m an engineer so I understand the concepts, but haven’t looked into the meaning/application of f-stop, iso etc. I mostly just use the presets, and do no post-processing on my pictures at the moment.
I’m open to criticism/critique/tips. I know there are knowledgeable people here so feel free to chime in. I also hope people will throw up some of their own shots.
I have two lenses: a 40mm micro and a 18-200 zoom. I use the micro for close ups and stills, and the zoom for general shooting (mostly of our backyard critters). Some of the shots I feel are worthy of posting:

Fantastic shots @tvenuto !!! You’ve certainly got a great eye!

Thanks! Took about 150 nature shots to come up with those few. I’m learning that photography is a numbers game. How people did it well with actual film is beyond me.
Also I should note that my post above was starting a new thread in Hobbies. The mods redirected me here.
