October flowers

 




Framing does a lot to help a photo.  My phone has three prime lenses, with separate sensors, which affords me some latitude in my compositions.




The Edge of Two Zip Codes

This is a series of cell phone photos taken on a Samsung S20 Ultra on a morning walk to Alameda, CA 94501 from Bay Farm Island, CA 94502, and then the return journey at noon.

Fiber-Jet Cobra



 



These images are staright from the camera - no corrections or rotations.


I still never know when I should stand or kneel to take a car photo.



I had intended shooting just with my 35mm prime, but there is seldom space to step back in car shows. Besides, there's something about going wide, and that strange forced perspective that widens the face and narrows the widow. Of course the screen on this dune buggy is already narrower than the fenders.
