The night sky one is interesting! My favorite is actually the sunroom, I love the how the legs and shadows of your table make an X.
I'm curious if you ever use a real camera? Absolutely not a critique, you do a great job with your phone. But since you are a retired photographer, are you just tired of lugging around a real camera now? I am not this comfortable with a phone camera, tbh.
A very different type of lighting than your previous image, but effective. Love the bokeh.
Great silhouette. Love the scale of the subject and sky.
I really love that tilt vignette; it's different and interesting. Use this lens again next week for framing! And a self portrait and shadow work....wowza.
What I really love, now that we are twelve weeks through, is seeing how so many of you are starting to build upon your images with knowledge/experience/confidence from previous lessons. It's just fantastic.
We've had crummy weather the past couple of days and I'm pretty sure I have bronchitis (and if it's not that, it might as well be), so I did not get a chance to shoot any film, but I think it's supposed to be sunny tomorrow, so maybe I can still shoot something and then develop it Monday.

Thank you Molly! I have not had a "real" camera since I got the iPhone 6 Plus. I figured at that time, I always had my phone, so I always had a camera. I may buy a DSLR again some day, but I am pretty happy with the iPhone camera. The 13PM really upped what I had over the 8 Plus I had before it, which I was also happy with.

I really love the cityscapes.
so fierce! ❤️
I really love the daffodil one. Daffodils are hard to photograph in my experience because they are so evenly colored (depending on the species of course, but the ones I typically see and personally plant) and yellow blows out so easily. Converting them to bw is a good trick!

This is a good composition! Although we haven't gotten to leading lines yet, I like the curve of the path leading the eye through the frame. I'd personally like to see a bit more detail in some of the tree line behind the sign, but that's a very personal preference, and some people prefer the higher contrast conversion like you did here. It's a good photo!
I'm still catching up on all the themes from the last weeks. I don't usually shoot much black and white, although I really like the look and feel of it. On one specific occasion in Paris, black and white photography came to mind in a very special way: in the Louvre, I was able to contrast the marble-white statue of Nike of Samothrace with the flowing crowds of visitors.
I love the ones where you have the moving people. I tried that recently and it did not go well, lol. My people were too ghosty, and I couldn't quite settle on a good shutter speed. I think there were also not enough people in my frame to make it quite effective.
Anyway, I'm so happy that this project is inspiring you while traveling!
I do love them too! For the shutter speed, I went with 1/6 for the handheld shots and 0.4" for the ones where I put the camera on the floor. "Luckily" for the photos, there were a lot of people in there, so I guess this also helped.
This projects not only inspires me while travelling, but I really have to feeling that it helps me to sharpen my photographic eye and be more conscious and deliberate while taking photos in general.
Thanks a lot! I do like this picture as well, it seems very calm and clean, even though it was quite busy inside the museum.
