Phone Art Photography – MyPhoneOgraphy
The best camera to have is the one you have with you.
Just a thought for today – that will gather more substance as it rolls downhill. Just as breakfast provides a nutritional start to one’s day, understanding the fundamentals of photography as an art form is the basis of capturing great images. That knowledge transcends all the fancy equipment money can buy.
Maybe not the breakfast of champions but these blueberries with shredded wheat in milk photograph was actually featured in two theme-specific Art Groups at Fine Art America.
One group featuring my breakfast composition is “Pretty in Pink Blue or Purple.” The other was in a group with a wider focus, called “Images That Excite You.”
Once again, the saying holds true that the “best camera to have is the one you have with you.” The natural, indirect lighting coming in the window to the left brought this simple (still life?) arrangement of fresh blueberries to my attention. The light and composition surely would have changed had I taken time to fetch my “more-pro-style” camera gear, set it up and try to capture this shot. The focus on the large, perfect blueberry and the soft bokeh of the background frosted mini-wheats could not have been rendered any better (even with a few more pixels in the sensor) than with my iPhone 12. The image, even though cropped, will yield a beautiful Kitchen Décor piece up to 24″ x 30″ in size. I also looks interesting (wonderful) as a throw pillow for a kitchen chair or even printed on a coffee mug for that hot cup of breakfast coffee.
Or, just imagine how challenging this image might be on a jigsaw puzzle. That is, if you are a true fan of “different” puzzle photographs.
