Sometimes I take images with my cell phone...

Castel Sant' Angelo

Hey! Are you Roman?

Hi Marco, I can't claim that distinction. Just a voracious reader, a fan of history and things beautiful, lover of travel. And have an undergrad degree in Architecture.

I will be visiting your fair city for a couple of days with my wife in September though!

I have a confession. I have been cheating. I never got around to reading the first page of this thread.
I did not realize it was only for cell phone cameras.
None of the photos I submitted were taken on a cell phone. All but one were shot on a 35 mm digital Pentax K1000 or Pentax K5.
The pictures my cell phone produces are revolting. In addition to allowing me almost no control the lens suffers from flare.
It is not much of a phone either.

So I humbly apologize. I will move my photographic activities to the camera 'photography' thread.

Mickey, I just like your photos, period.

Here are some quick pics this morning of my Koi pond using my Galaxy S5. Safe to say it's in bloom. Yes there is water flowing under all the forget-me-nots under the waterfall! Due to the heat we are keeping it overgrown at the moment. Keeps the water cool, keeps algae from blooming and turning the water, plus provides shade for the Koi.

Freddie, those photos are simply incredible. The koi pond is amazing.

Thank you for the kind words Freddy!

Freddie,

A gorgeous garden and splendid photos.

I don't know if this counts because it was taken a year or two ago with my Samsung Galaxy S5.  This is Akron Falls in Akron Falls County Park, about 20 miles northeast of downtown Buffalo, New York.

Freddy,

That is a beautiful shot. It's alive.
Perfect framing. Perfect exposure. Perfect shutter speed - none of the overdone, unnatural slow speed blurring of moving water.

Thank you so much for that, Mickey. However, except for framing the shot to get what I wanted in the frame, the rest was strictly point and shoot and the camera did the rest.
