Tina’s – Phone Photography challenge is super relevant right now; it totally shows how far mobile photography has come, just like our smartphone cameras have leveled up. Her post is great inspiration, so do check it out and join in.
I’ve taken a ton of pics with my phones over the years. Right now, I’m using the iPhone 17 PRO, which is a recent purchase, and let me tell you, its camera setup is awesome with that triple-lens system and cool features like Night mode and Deep Fusion. The picture quality is great, and honestly, having such a great camera on me makes it so easy to grab those spontaneous shots!
I had no complaints about my previous iPhone 14 PRO; I got great shots with it for three years, and most of the images that I will share are shot with it.










Taking a self portrait with a phone is so much easier than camera, sharing a recent on of myself – in monochrome as I do love that style.

Please remember to include a link to Tina’s post and utilize the Lens-Artists Tag so we can easily find your photos. Huge thanks to Egidio for demonstrating the impact of black and white photography and how our minds can visualize colors through imagination. Lastly, I hope you to join us next week when Patti guides us through her Pilotfish post. Until then, let’s keep exploring, broadening our horizons, and maintaining a positive mindset.
I’m having a bit of a tough time keeping a positive mindset and staying motivated to get things done, but I’m really trying to push through. Every day has its moments. I just keep reminding myself that it’s all about just doing it. I am not depressed or anything, just lacking in the motivation part. My motto is even “Inspiration exists, but it needs to find you working.” I hope you get why I haven’t been commenting lately, but I promise I’ll check out the posts, even if it takes me a bit longer. Engaging with the posts matters to me, and I’m doing my best to get back on track and jump in more.

Love all your shots. I am currently using iPhone 14 Pro and longing to upgrade to 17. Great to see your night shot taken with yours…..,oooh! I can’t wait to get one!!!
Such a great variety of excellent phone shots! I like the simplicity of the gallery, the textures in the shot of Tinka (and the peaceful feeling it exudes) and your stylish self-portrait 🙂
I liked seeing your phone photos through the years and cell phones. This was a creative response. I don’t use my phone for photography, and I’m having problems with this challenge!
This is a beautiful set of iPhone pictures.
This is a great variety of cellphone images Ritva. They have made photography so easy and portable along with near DSLR camera quality now. It’s nice seeing the person behind your blog.
Ritva, your cellphone images are all stunning. My favorites are the Forsyth Park fountain and the view through your car windshield.
I’m sorrry you still don’t feel likegetting-up-and-going, but it will pass. Meanwhile, your phone is doing a grand job, so no need to worry!
Cell phone photos have improved so much over the years, that especially with the pro modes, they rival the quality of the “good” cameras. Your gallery is a good example of how much latitude these cameras have in varying conditions. I’ve been following a YouTuber who uses a cellphone to capture astrophotography. Amazing, but I’ve yet to try the genre.
