About the Image(s)

We recently took a trip up to the Seeney Wildlife Refuge in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. I wasn't lugging my Sony camera with me, so this is a Pixel phone raw image. I have begun to appreciate taking imgages with my phone more lately because it forces my to pay attention to what matters - the composition rather than fiddling around with settings. Which is not to say that I prefer it. I find that the phone images, even in raw, have less tonal latitude and thus are not as easily to adjust in post. I didn't do much to this image in post - a bit of cropping and sky color darkening.

I applaud your use of phone camera, Dean. It does give you a different perspective and certainly more easily carried around. I met with some camera club members last evening and we discussed phone images and the phone's ability in low light. We then watched a photographer's presentation of his trip to the Falklands. Several images were taken with his iPhone and were outstanding. We see more and more photographers using their phones.
I like the composition here with the foreground and tree trunk leading the eye through the image.   Posted: 10/08/2025 13:40:52
