I was going through many of my pictures, as I tend to do when I'm stuck inside for pandemic reasons, and I noticed there are some I find quite spectacular. I only ever use a camphone (I coined the lame phrase), but camphones are getting more and more capable.

Let's see what ya'll got! This is purely a matter of personal opinion. Who cares if they are posted elsewhere, post them again.











I could do this all day....
Those dogs are adorable!

Sometime to get the best photo I would have to climb up with my equipment and hang off the side of a wall while shooting.

Rock climbing.... Not Rock Crawling.... I designed an upper harness and my camera would hang from my back when climbing. In this photo my Canon DSLR is actually on my back.

This is not good when my shadow gets in the photo....

Rock climbing shoes are very important with a special rubber that sticks to the rock. This friend of mine sometimes climbs barefooted.. It is amazing to watch him climb.

This is a good example of getting the shot in the camera if you want a large moon like you see in movies you will need a large telephoto lens. This was shot with a 600mm lens I think the mountain is 1/4 mile away. A telephoto lens will make everything bigger in the photo and will also make items look much closer to each other. Yosemite valley.
