Tina engages us in phone photography – and I must admit there are fantastic possibilities nowadays. I don’t have a very good camera phone, ( a 5 year old Samsung) but I can call people and manage my life with the phone I have. I seldom use it on travels, but at home on my walks and small outings when a real camera feels cumbersome. I still find it difficult to hold this thing for a good photo. I guess I would have to practice more! True is, that “The best camera is the one you have with you.” — Chase Jarvis
Anyway, this is a fun challenge! I have chosen to make a gallery of my shots, because of the lesser quality of my phone. Larger photos don’t make it good enough. So, here we go with everything from macro to happy ladies!
We hope you’ll join us to share your own thoughts and results with your phone of choice. Be sure to link to Tinas post and to use the Lens-Artists Tag to help us find you. Thanks also to Egidio for showing us the power of B&W and having us conjuring up the colors with our imagination. Finally, we hope you’ll join us next week when Patti leads us on her Pilotfish post. Until then, please stay safe and be kind.

Lovely, all the way around!
Thank you, Lindy!
I’m very much like you on this, Ann-Christine. Although your phone photos are a lot better than mine!
Oh, I don’t think so – and you are doing something imposrtant while using your phone!
A beautiful gallery, Ann-Christine! I agree with Anne, a cell phone can be hard to hold and, adding, it can be hard to see in strong light. Still, I use it regularly. My favorite is that magnificent waterfall.
Thank you, John – and I completely agree about phones. But sometimes they come in handy.
Beautiful images Ann-Christine. I find the cell phone too light to hold still. Crazy right?
Thank you, Anne! And I totally agree about the phone…sometimes I even drop it while trying to focus…
I think they need to put a wrist strap on cell phones when used for photography. That way it won’t fall to the ground when you lose your grasp!
I love the winter shots, at least I think that is what they were. You have got some wonderful images with your phone Ann-Christine. Brilliant really.
Thank you, Leanne – they are winter shots and I love it that you liked them!
Amazing collection, really like the water ones and the mushrooms, theres such a magical feel to that image.
Thank you, Pamela! I do love mushrooms and cannot walk away without a photo…
Beautiful as always Ann-Christine. Especially loved the waterfall and the lovely frozen ground image. I’d have the latter up on my wall!
Thank you, Tina – I am glad to have passed the test!
the back-lit tree trunk…awe

Ann-Christine, this is another post showing how good phone photography can be. The images are great. I couldn’t open image #9. It seemed to have a broken link.
Thank you, Egidio – strange with number 9 though…
As someone kindly said on my post, a good photo is a good photo regardless of the camera used, and yours prove that point 🙂 But I do know what you mean about holding the phone – I can’t always get such interesting angles as I do with my camera, for instance.
Yes…and I even drop the phone sometimes…
Beautiful shots, Ann-Christine! I really enjoyed this post.
Thank you, Nes!
I agree with other commenters. There’s nothing wrong with, and much to enjoy is this lovely group of photos.
Thank you, Margaret – I am happy with that!
As I look at them on my phone, they look great, all the elements are there, mostly the composition, these are great, the mushrooms, waterfalls… If you know what what you are doing, the result is this, lovely AC
Same thoughts as Ritva 🙂.

Thank you, Ritva – I find it difficult to hold the phone still and in the right angle. I often drop it…
Methinks you are far too hard on yourself – each of your choices is to be enjoyed tho’ those dainty white mushrooms greatly appeal ?? ! ________________________________
