Here are some photos from my enjoyment of street photography of nature in Morris Township, New Jersey in August 2023: #1. A view from Aug 8, #2. Then around Aug 14, #3. Then a close up I did to create an abstract piece of photo-art (The number is not shown on the piece of art).

Street photography does not have to be done on the street, in nature, or include people. In Baer’s furniture store I shot this expensive Console and then did a macro shot – all with my iPhone.

AS YOU SWING THROUGH LIFE – Try to learn new things to do with your iPhone – I am trying to lean what I can do with iPhone video to share – like in the above video

DAVE WROTE: Hi Jim, You can say what you want about your phone camera but I will stick with my hi-end Nikon and Sony cameras and lenses. Here are a few shots for the blog. A snowy last night and this morning here in upstate  NY. Shots of woodpeckers at our feeders and a few shots around the   yard. A Downy, a Hairy and a Red-bellied Woodpecker.   Dave

I WROTE:  Hey, Dave, your comment made me smile. I (& we the viewers) really appreciate the photos you share with us. We are sure they could only be produced through your photographic skill and patients to get the shot, your knowledge/enjoyment of birds & their environment, AND of course your cameras and lenses.  We are glad you will stick with your hi-end Nikon and Sony cameras and lenses.

After being restricted by my Doctor from my normal long bike rides, I was telling my family about the shorter ride I took last evening.  Of course I only had my iPhone with me.

Hey you guys, Look what I saw!

AS YOU SWING THROUGH LIFE – Come to this Blog often – I will try to make it worth your while.

This is about the smartphone camera and the Photo Club.  Since the beginning of photography, professionals with high dollar cameras added photos to support their stories. Think about the high dollar war correspondents and National Geographic expeditions. The advent of the smartphone camera and social media has brought that capability to me without high dollars.  My family and I share our adventures, our good and our bad experiences, every day. We really enjoy each other so much more.  The photos we use to support our stories are real, unaltered by rules, staging, or professional know-how.  Through the Photo Club, I want to  encourage all members to capitalize on the smartphone camera.  I want to use the Club’s Facebook Group to trigger and receive new ideas and techniques for using the smartphone camera. Two of my examples from just yesterday: My daughter used her photo to support her story about seeing the first Bluebird of the season and my son supported the excitement he & his wife felt about watching the Bobcat in their back yard.

AS YOU SWING THROUGH LIFE – Remember that camera you always have with you and add your photos to your story

The front page sits for 15 seconds – time for you to read – before the vodeo starts. The video has audio – so turn it on!

AS YOU SWING THROUGH LIFE – Be tolerant of those who love to be trained by animals.

Bare ground and green grass. Temperature to 52 degrees F.  today. Took a ride out to Montezuma National Wildlife Refuge today. That is out in western NY. Thousands of Canada Geese , a few hundred Sandhill Cranes and 100 plus Tundra Swans with a few Trumpeter Swans.  Dave

AS YOU SWING THROUGH LIFE -Know that most photos and vidios on TV are created by those with the best tools and the best education in the field of communication – communicating the story they are hired to tell.
