This week Tina affirms that she uses her phone a lot these days. As the technology has advanced, and the convenience is undeniable, she invites us to feature some of our phone photos. Since much of my photography takes place outside in the Pacific Northwest, I have come to depend upon my iPhone. Only when the weather has next to zero chance of precipitation do I venture forth with my Panasonic.

On the road or in a boat, a cell phone is really handy. No fear of losing my best gear in the lake, and even when moving, the images aren’t blurred. All the photos above and below were taken with my previous iPhone 8.

With rain, and a smattering of sunlight, we are often blessed with rainbows in these parts. On the left hand side of the last shot, is the faint beginning of a double rainbow.

With my new iPhone 16, I was able to get fairly good shots from a distance of the single Bald Eagle and a Bald Eagle pair. When they arrive and start to reclaim their territory on the Long Beach Peninsula, I stay a respectful distance away to avoid disturbing them. Getting the shot of the Eagle lifting off was a pleasant surprise!

And then there are moments like this, when the scene is set and you know it isn’t likely to happen like this again in your lifetime!

Thank you to Tina for validating the use of cell phones in our photography and our posts on Lens-Artists. It is always fun to rise to these challenges!

On your walk with life, please honor our earth, encourage dignity and share kindness. 🐾
