I created these floral whimsies from photographs of flowers in my garden using a cell phone camera. Many of you know I have used a variety of digital cameras to photograph flowers <\/a>for almost two decades. However, I really did not use a cell phone camera to do that until I went back to FaceBook in 2020. The images were so easy to post there directly from the cell phone. I did basic editing on the phone and was okay with that. <\/p>\n

Not until July 2021 did I realize that I had the technology on the phone to do a little more than basic editing. Once I stumbled into the capability, I have spent much of July just seeing what it was possible to do on a cell phone. These floral whimsies are one result.<\/p>\n

Here are two composites, one in black and white and one in color, of photographs I have had fun creating this July of 2021.<\/p>\n

\nTwo Frogs, a Cat, and Darth Vader (color)
\nProud Parents<\/p>\n

The black and white images, starting at top left and moving around clockwise are:

\nTwo Frogs, a Cat, and Darth Vader (black and white)
\nOut of Darkness
\nFortune Tellers<\/p>\n

Larger versions of individual images may be seen at my portfolio site.<\/a><\/p>\n
