Reflections on Phone Photography

I told Tina in no uncertain terms that I wouldn’t be joining in her Lens-Artists Challenge: Phone Photography, as my antique bargain-basement phone and I weren’t up to the job. She wasn’t having that, so I went and had a trawl.

And discovered that reflections seemed to come up as a theme that had worked quite well on days when I hadn’t got a camera to hand.

These were the first two I came across, both from Cosmo-Caixa Science Museum in Barcelona.

Walking down to the lower galleries.
The magnificent aquarium set in a would-be South American rainforest.

Still in Spain, we’ll pop to Valencia and its ancient Gothic bridge above the Turia Gardens.

And now we’ll return to England, and the Leeds-Liverpool Canal at Gargrave, where one day, this was the scene we saw as we walked under a bridge there.

And finally, a little gallery of other watery local photos- and that includes my header image too.

Thanks Tina. I’m glad you made me dig these out. Perhaps my phone doesn’t do so badly after all …. After all, that last photo got me second place in a public vote at Masham Sheep Fair the other year (I got first place too, but that wasn’t a reflection shot).

  7. For an ancient phone it does a great job! As someone said in another post, a good photo is a good photo regardless of what you use to take it 🙂 I especially love the first one and that beautiful bridge in Valencia.

  10. The Turia gardens bridge is my favourite shot, Margaret, but I like all of your reflections. I generally share my phone photos on Instagram, if they’re decent and I have time. Downloading them to my laptop is my problem, but I might have a go, later this week xx

    1. Because my moble is linked to Google photos where I store my images, that’s one problem I don’t have. I no longer ‘do’ Instagram or any social media. Blogging’s enough for me!

      1. Do you pay for storage? My photos are all on the laptop, other than the ones I take on my phone. Me and Google and Microsoft have an ongoing battle. Or you could say we don’t understand each other xx

    1. Originally, trawlers were/are fishing vessels dragging the bottom of the sea for whatever they could fish. So we blogging trawlers are having a good old search right to the bottom of our photo files to see what we can drag up!
