Photograph and Camera talk

@goosehd few light touches in Lightroom but no major editing. That being said I'm using the X100V's in-built film similations and exporting a jpeg: Velvia where they're super vibrant, Classic Chrome on the more muted ones and Acros for b&w. To be fair, the colours were amazing in real life too, Cornwall really is stunning.

Thanks @louisbosco - I was chuffed with how they came out

It was so bright and still, can't imagine conditions to shoot crisper reflections

Got My Eye On You!

I started using a very small and portable tripod for some of my Iphone forum pics and thought someone else may find it useful.

Strong points: ease of use, super portable, ultra light weight, cheap,

Weak ones: main one is lack of legs, so either you love ground level perspective or your find a table, car hood, etc.

It really cuts down on time to set up the phone and take the pic. Only about 25 dollars, weighs probably 10 grams and fits in your wallet ( about the size of two credit cards glued together).

Those things look great! I think maybe @jordanscollected posted on here before about using one of those as well? Now that I've seen it recommended a couple times, I'm feeling the heat a little more.

I need to get a new iPhone, though — the camera on mine sucks (8S+) compared to some of the cooler ones I've seen on the forum using portrait mode. The main reason I don't post too many fit pics on here is bc I usually end up getting out my DSLR and a tripod, oy.

@popvulture. Posted one but didn’t buy it. I’ve been considering it though and I think I have the storage space in my wallet for one. I need to revisit.

[popvulture]

Ahh! Right on. Seems really handy, will let y'all know if I pull the trigger.

Couple of Lensball shots from Sunrise the other day.   

[LewisStonehouse]

Love those @Jett129

[Jett129]

Thank you so much!

[Jett129]

@LewisStonehouse In case you’re interested this is what it looked like at 5:07 in the morning,without the Lensball.

that's VERY beautiful

[LewisStonehouse]

Unbelievable colouring and a nice composition there 

[Jett129]

Thank you both. I’m speculating that some of the smoke from the fires out west might have had something to do with the color. That shot was hand held at ISO 10K,f7.1,at1/50 of a second. The colors only lasted for about 10 minutes.

Tropical storm Henri went by last week,resulting in some good waves for the local surfers…

[Jett129]

A few more…

[Jett129]

The Belmar Pro Surfing Competition was this past weekend,and even though Hurricane Larry was 1000 miles off shore we still got the waves.

Honestly blown away by the quality of macro shots on the new iPhone 13pro. granted it's nothing too spectacular, but for a mobile device, I have to say I'm quite impressed. of course, you can't compare it to dedicated macro lenses with DSLRs
