Cell phone series, ballerinas and more

Been pushing myself lately to use my phone camera. definitely takes your mind off of what settings need to be used and and focus on the shot. Very low light and shot through a window in the first 5 shots, but i like the results. I told Liz in a PM earlier..i'm all for crispy clean color shots, but lately i find myself drawn to this sort of stuff.

Glad to see you are posting here.

So your goal is to capture the small (real) moments no? Well I think you've done it.

Love 1,4, 9.

Also I like shooting with my cell phone--it takes the pressure off sometimes.

Nice images. 1/7/9 are my picks of the litter.
I have vague memories of the tiny ballerina days for my daughter....

7-10 are the winners here. Love the rainy road, and there's something about the balloons that really works for me - maybe it's the Sudafed I'm taking and the Rolling Thunder Review I have blasting in my office. I love the cell phone camera, but you have to work within its limitations. Unfortunately, a ballet class for little girls is beyond those limitations without flash or bright lighting in the gym.

thanks BD! point taken on the ballerina set, i pushed it a little too much. well anyway i'm glad you like the rainy road and the balloons, something about them stood out to me as well but I wasn't sure if I was just wierd.

thank you also, Liz and Andrew

But I love the second ballerina shot - the composition, the movement. Could use a little brightening in post, however, at least, the way it is appearing to me.

Oh, and is that little girl sitting in a pile of spilled sugar? Love it.

Thank you Sara! It is actually sand... She got in the garage and into the sandbox, and thought it would be fun to bring a bucket of it into my kitchen. That was fun! (<- sarcasm)<img src="https://us.v-cdn.net/6029383/emoji/rolleyes1.gif" border="0" alt="" >

Yeah, I like no.s 1&2 a lot despite the lack of image quality. Especially #2. It's a nice scene, and maybe that very retro look suits it.
