    Yep, thanks!!

    I enjoy photography a lot. It's a great way to practice creativity, even if one has the drawing skills of a grade-schooler ;)

    1) LOL I can understand about having poor drawing skills.

    2) [@]sapporobabyrtrns[/@] takes amazing pictures. Perhaps he'll share some. I've been using on of his of the Milky Way as my iPhone lockscreen for a long time.

    That'd be great, the more the merrier! I was kind of hoping there would be more people posting pictures to the forum.

    They aren't from an iPhone, though. He has some super complex camera that I could never figure out in 100 years if I tried. I guess I just don't have enough interest in photography outside the science of how the internal components of a camera work and the final result. The actual taking of pictures simply doesn't interest me at all… and I wish it did. Seems like it's a fun hobby for those that are into it.

    Hey dude. Here are a few shots that I took that COULD NOT be captured with an iPhone. I use a Nikon D810 with various professional lenses. The aurora shot for example cost more or less $7000 or so.

    More shots that could not come from an iPhone. Don't get me wrong. The iPhone 6+ is a great phone and has a very capable camera but people who think they will take professional photos are victims of marketing and easy prey for Jedi mind tricks. You want to shoot like a pro, you have to pay for it.

    Great shots, but do you also have photos taken from your iPhone because you saw an opportunity and didn't have your Nikon with you?

    After seeing photos from you two I'm afraid to post myself. Ok, just one tulip from The Netherlands then. Not from an iPhone though (D7000)

    Yeah, same here. But it's fun to play around with some (very) casual lenses for the iPhone. I looked at a few and liked Photojojo the best for the money (only $50 for three lenses). The ring attachment is slightly clumsy with the camera bulge, but I like being able to snap the lenses on and off magnetically.

    Very blissful. I'm reminded of my smallness in the universe; yet, any existential angst I feel at being reminded of my relative meaninglessness is immediately dissolved in the graceful patterns of the clouds, as the tulip confidently guides my gaze upward.


     


    I think that's the coffee talking again.

    This is an excellent shot. I like it quite a bit. Great angle and prospective.

    Thanks! Hey, that could work as a caption.

    Too kind. Maybe later today I'll feel more comfortable and post another one.
