RE: Phone photos
Nice to see you back, Marco! These are very nice shots. I am constantly amazed at the quality coming out of the tiny lens and sensor on modern phones, I've used mine exclusively for on-line sales images, and to add to requests for a quote for renovations recently.

Re: Phone photos
These are fun.. you will not be surprised to learn I particularly liked the two sign shots - even though one of them was intentionally funny .. I often printed film shots at a high contrast so these don't need any refining as far as I'm concerned ann On 3/23/2023 7:03 PM, Marco Alpert wrote: For various reasons, I haven’t been doing any “serious" photography for quite a while now (although I do consistently lurk here).

Phone photos
For various reasons, I haven’t been doing any “serious" photography for quite a while now (although I do consistently lurk here). I think I’ve only taken my K-3 out a few times in the past few years, and then only for some practical purposes. However, seeing the conversation about the current state of phone photography, I thought I’d share a few phone photos I took this past weekend while we were visiting family up in Olympia WA. I usually only use the phone for grab shots to record things, but I thought I’d try some high contrast B These were all edited on the phone using Snapseed. I could definitely have refined them on the computer once I got home, but thought I’d leave them as they were as documentation of the in-phone process. https://flic.kr/s/aHBqjAwVC6 (I haven’t used Flickr in about a decade, so hope I didn’t screw the link up.) - Marco -- %(real_name)s Pentax-Discuss Mail List To unsubscribe send an email to pdml-le...@pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
