Eucalyptus paucillora and an iphone
I am the owner of more than one camera, few are analog and few are digital. I am also a strong believer and an advocate for the saying: “Camera doesn’t matter, it’s what you do with it that’s important”. Even with all the cameras that I have, sometimes I found myself with none on me. But I have a phone and that has a camera. So all I can do is take advantage of that.
The other day I pass this beautiful eucalyptus and I had only the phone with me. There’s nothing original in photographing trees, they have been the subject of many posts here on Substack:
or and others have approached this subject many times. Personally I’m never sick of this subject, I found trees to be fascinating. But it is also important how the trees are presented so I let the photos speak for themselves.
Love these! Eucalyptus trees are beautiful.
I agree regarding camera equipment: I find a lot of photographers get too caught up in talking about their equipment instead of the pictures. For many years I was a member of Scott Kelby's Photoshop org, and attended Photoshop World in Vegas many times, but realized I was putting all my focus (ha) on equipment, software, tips-n-tricks, than actually just taking pictures. It took many years but I finally feel I have de-Kelby-ized myself and just get lost in the art-making aspect of photography now 😀
Sweet images and perspective. Funny you chose to do this, I was just working on some iPhone photos I took last week on my journeys, and was thinking of using them in next week's post. I think now, I'm compelled to do it!
I agree, cameras are just tools. The camera in the phone has limitations, but it also has attributes that can be taken advantage of, too.
