Out for a walk earlier this afternoon. The sun was bright and beautiful through the trees. Sometimes you just need a picture of trees.
This picture is unfiltered, just cropped a little to get the street out of it.

The day after the snow storm was a bright, beautiful day. The snow still on the trees contrasting with the blue sky was pretty spectacular. I took this with ProCam and it is untouched by post-processing.

This was the night of the snow storm, after it had all ended. We have some amazingly tall trees in our condo complex, and as I was standing at the top of our driveway, the lights from the next sets of buildings over, framed by the trees heavy with snow, struck me as a great picture. The sun had set and the last of the light in the west was making the evening sky a deep blue.I wish is was better at capturing night photos with my iPhone. It’s something that I’m still learning how do, and the results tend to be hit or miss. But, despite being on the grainy side, I really like how this one turned out.

One of the lens that comes in the Ztylus lens kit is a fish eye lens. Fish eye lens are a little on the weird end of photography, I find. It gives you an really interesting picture in certain situations, but its application is so limited. How many landscapes of selfies can you really see in a fish eye view before you go “Okay, enough already, I get it, the world is bendy.”That said, I had to try the fish eye at least once. I knew the picture I wanted to capture, it was more a question about whether the fish eye lens would make it look cool or just kind of goofy. I walked along a path at work today until I came to a group of trees, pointed the camera straight up, and snapped.
I gave the picture some post-processing in Snapseed to make it more moody. I think it turned out, for the most part okay. I don’t know how often I’ll use the fish eye lens, but once in a while, it’s fun.
