Theme ~ Cell Phone Pics
Chosen by Craver.
This week's theme was both simple, and difficult. I rarely take pictures with my cell phone--an Android smartphone--because I usually have my camera with me. But on those occasions I don't, or when I want to share something on Facebook right then, my phone comes in handy.
I usually take vertical pictures with my phone, so I made a composite for my header. Here it is:
I made a surprise trip to the Lake this past August for my mom's 75th birthday, so not many people knew I was up there. I wanted to share on Facebook what a typical evening up there is, so when I went down to the dock to sit and watch/photograph the sunset, I pulled out my phone to share what I was doing. I call these evenings my dock dates. That's the picture on the right.
The picture on the left was taken at Janet's cottage, where she was hosting a beauty products party. The ladies let me slip out to her deck to capture the sunset, and the sun was so stunning--the picture in no way does it justice--that I had to take one with my phone to share on Facebook. Here are the two individual images that make up my header.
Out of the couple dozen images I've ever taken with my phone, I'm now sharing the best ones here for you! Remember, I only use my phone when I want to share something unusual, exciting, or funny (usually on Facebook), or when I just don't have my "big" camera on me. Here goes...
This last picture is worth noting since in our family, breaking the 800-point barrier in a Scrabble game is a major feat. Mom and I pulled this one off during her birthday week at the Lake. :)

Nice n neat shots Christine, scrabble queens eh!,
ReplyDeleteThe composite looks nice. Sunsets are especially tricky with most camera phones... these turned out pretty good.
ReplyDeleteNice captures with your phone Christine. I didn't know a lot of those scrabble words.
ReplyDeleteThird time's a charm. I have clicked wrong buttons and am creating this comment once again.
ReplyDeleteI agree--cell phones are for phone calls and emergency pictures. I don't facebook from my phone. I do play Scrabble on Facebook. Do you?
Love the header! You got some great shots with the phone. And clearly Danny has become a sidewalk vendor to sell his old toys and buy some big-boy toys!
