    Interesting and wonderful effect. How much did you have to push this in post? Or, did the phone camera (at capture) already get it pretty "close" to the end result? How much processing latitude is there? The amazing thing is... the extent to which things are "going on in the background" when it comes to phone cameras.

    Phone booths... YES. And when you needed to look-up a name/number in the book (that was in the booth)... the "page" was missing... always torn out! LOL.

    Really cool. I realize it wasn't "THAT light" when you were standing there, but from experience I know that it FEELS that way (and you always want the picture to capture the feeling). You did.

    Yes, yes, yes, and yes! Software has improved. I really loved my old D300. It had it's limitations (noise) but was a fun/capable camera. And we DO get better with experience! Going through the archives... ALWAYS fun. Best wishers for your post-op recovery.

    Yes indeed. The 3.0 CS (CSi) -- THAT was a heckuva car in it's day! Great styling.

    Beautiful. I can smell the air. Where? Lake Ontario?

    The Limes are very curious, in how they regenerate after storm damage and such.

    Man, this looks a great place for a stroll to blow the cobwebs away.

    Jeez, there's a hell of a lot of detail in this. Always enjoy your port shots.

    It's quite a crop for a phone camera to handle but I don't think resolution matters too much in this sort of shot.

    Intriguing. Bit blurry person fits well.

    Great capture of light and colour. Are there phone booths still available? Here all are killed by cell phones, I know just one which is kept as historic relict, but without connected phone, of course. Would be good to have some in noisy districts to go into and speak with mobile phone in relative quietness and peace when needed.

    I like this shot, the emotion from movement in her face. Lack of shadows makes her seemingly hoover over ground. And I spotted our national blue-black-white flag...

    Oppose the gravity! I like tones here, conveys that greenish hue of forest.

    Love this shot, the way how reflections are blending with foreground.

    I almost feel the wind... Not so sure about centerd horizon but at the moment can't suggest any better framing either...

    I like how these cranes are all oriented in same way and providing framing to ship.
