Tulips at night

Tulips at night
Apple iPhone 6s
2020

I make photos with my phone that I wouldn’t bother to make otherwise. If I have to go find one of my regular cameras, I just won’t be bothered. These tulips on our kitchen windowsill is one of those photos. I was at the sink below to wash my hands when I noticed how the tulips popped against the night in the window. It took just a few seconds to get my phone out of my pocket, set it to square format, and make this image.

    I use me phone a lot too. It’s incredible how much more I photograph simply because it is always available. My camera, on other hand, is always in the other room and never where I need I to be.

      I make photos with my phone I would never make with my regular camera. It’s always there to document whatever I’m doing!

        Same here! I do a lot of day in the life and walking around images that would otherwise pass me by.

        Cat pictures too! Black cats are hard to photograph and the iPhone’s abilities far exceed my own with my camera. If he’s sitting in a patch of sunlight, I am good with my camera. Otherwise, not so much!

    I don’t own a smartphone, but this is more proof at how good they are! Incredible quality.

      Crazy, isn’t it? We’d have all died and gone to heaven for snapshot cameras that could do this just 20 years ago.
