Deeeeeep sigh.
Somehow life got in the way of this blog, and creativity in general.
Work. Relationship. Exploring. Work. And did I mention work?
My life has been much busier in Maine than it ever was on the west coast. Thats probably a good thing, but its gotten in the way of my creative time. I have quite the backlog of Nikon images, which made me want to stop shooting for a while. I even stopped doing much with my iPhone 5s. Honestly, cutting back on the iPhone was more about it being on its last legs. The battery was barely hanging on by a thread. The colder weather here was draining it within minutes 😦
Luckily, there was a great deal that popped up at the right time, and I got myself the iPhone 7, which I never intended to get. What a huge jump in technology it is from the 5s to the 7. I’m loving the camera and the video, along with the processing speed. I feel a renewed sense of wonder with my phone and I can’t wait to see what creative things I do with it 🙂
Here are a couple of images from my first time taking it out to play.
The light was pretty cool. I only wish you could also see the snow falling in the light as the wind knocked it down from the trees.
This is what passes for a trail in Maine…

Very nice, I know what you mean about life. I got a new job so it takes up my time and some new friends. It’s ok if life gets in the way. Sometimes you just need to break up the monotony.
Change is good. I hope you’re finding a nice balance between work and play 🙂
The top image is a stunner. Love the way you’ve caught the light.
Thank you 🙂
Oooooo! This has teased me a little – I am toying with the idea of chopping my old 5s for either the 7 or 7plus – outstanding photos. Have you used an app on the first one with the rays of sunlight? Thanks for sharing 🙂
I can tell you that the difference in speed and image quality is night and day. I’m especially surprised with the image quality of photos taken indoors in low light. There are quite a few photos I wouldn’t have bothered taking in the past because of graininess that I’m ok with shooting now.
As far as the apps used, I used Snapseed and Rays. The original image did have some faint light rays, but I did embellish a lot by using Rays.
Cheers David! The photo quality is what really gets me excited. I use Snapseed too – good, easy to use app. 🙂
Totally going to download Rays now! :’) the camera quality on the iPhone really does suprise me sometimes!
It’s a fun app that can add a lot of atmosphere.
