780/1000 When she suddenly looked at me, I got scared.

Quiet day on the photography front. Home, sick as a dog with a bad chest cold. I went out for a short walk, but the coughing soon forced me back home. I can’t complain, this past year I’ve beaten back almost every cold/flu. This one got me good.
It was this picture or one of a tissue box. 😊 Stay safe, everyone.

779/1000 I‘m feeling better today. The sun helped out and also provided some wonderful shadows.
Tried pushing the iPhone (and my skills) to the limit on this one.
Birds in flight are tough enough, but with an iPhone, you’re mostly just hoping for the best. I fired off a lot of frames in RAW, knowing the sensor would meter for the bright sky and leave the bird in shadow. Shooting RAW at least gives you a chance to recover shadows and highlights.
Zooming in tight was basically impossible, so I shot wide and planned to crop later. This isn’t a bad result, all things considered. It’s heavily cropped, and I used maximum shadow recovery to pull out detail in the pelican, which gives it a slightly “crispy” look—pretty much the classic sign of heavy shadow recovery.
Still, for a bird‑in‑flight shot on an iPhone, I’m pleasantly surprised.

778/1000 I‘m a bit ill today. So here‘s a shot from Sunday.
777/1000 Magnolia season
This church/school has shown up before, but I can’t resist its lines and how it looks in flat black-and-white. It ended up being the only photo I took today, grabbed during a 4-mile walk with the dogs. Trying to shoot while juggling two dogs is just about impossible—especially with my two unruly ones. The rest of the day has been all office work and no shooting, sadly.
