I'm Ba-a-ack!
Hi all,

It was good to get away for awhile, and now I'm happy to be back with renewed energy to photograph and post images. During the interim I was away, I upgraded to an iPhone 7 Plus just for the camera feature. It didn't cost me any more to get it than if I had chosen the regular Iphone 7. It was exciting to discover the merits of this phone camera, and I must say that it is truly a large improvement over any other iPhone camera I ever used (and I really liked the 6s a lot). Last week I had the prime opportunity to use it. I visited Longwood Gardens and its refurbished main fountain; what a glorious experience that was! Even though lighting wasn't the best that day, I was able to snap some rather remarkable photos with the 7 Plus iPhone camera. Over the next couple of days I will post some of the best of these images I captured that day.

Now that I'm back, I look forward to catching up with you and seeing all the beautiful pictures you posted over the past couple of weeks! :-)

P.S. We are halfway through August and I was hoping by now that IMA would have taken over the platform. Can any member from the Association give us an idea when the transfer will happen? I understand if you can't answer specifically, but it would be nice to know it will happen very soon...

Glad you are back Val.

I suggest you read this thread in the IMA Group as things have been posted.

www.ipernity.com/group/2260604/discuss/187674

You do not have to read all 220+ posts ! But a 15 mins scan of it should get you reasonably up to speed.

Lovely seeing you back here. As for your photo of the orchids taken with your phone - it's fantastic. My son has the latest i-phone and he takes all his photos with it and to be honest, they come out so much better than the camera he used to have.

Thank you so much, Jenny, so glad to be back feeling re-energized!

Regarding these phone cameras, they truly have surpassed point and shoots in my opinion. I love it as it makes for the most portable camera I have ever owned, lol. They still don"t replace DSLRs, but in many ways they come close.

.... oh yes, it's a little shock to see: your mobile is able to take good photos in bad light situations.
We have to accept: next time DSLRs will be out. A relict from the past (may be in 10 years).
... same problem (time of changing) with photo communities ....
... somewhere I read: may be this week IMA will try to start .... give us the possibility to pay our new fees ...
