Over the years we gather a lot of pictures on our mobile phones (remember to back them up!), so it’s fun to look back and see what we have.

Here’s an image from April of 2020…

Floral Study

This is what happens when I sit at the table in my sister’s house in the Netherlands and have nothing much to do. If I remember correctly, I used one of the portrait settings that was available on the iPhone Photo app at that time to have stage light simulation on the flower. As it was in a black vase most of the background went to black nicely.

  1. Stunning! Hard to believe that this photo is captured with an iPhone 🙂

    1. The iPhone has continued to get even better since then. It’s a good tool in our pocket!

    2. I took a look at the metadata and it was the iPhone 11 Pro Max using Portrait mode. The effect of darkening outside the subject area was rather cool with this phone

      1. Definitely! It add a nice contrast to the bright pink flower.

  2. Very pretty. 😊
