This week’s challenge is to display image(s) captured with a mobile phone rather than a traditional camera. That’s no problem for me as, despite the name of this blog, I no longer own a D800 – or any photographic device other than my trusty iPhone 14 Pro Max.

I gave our dear daughter all my traditional photographic ‘kit’ a couple of years ago: she’s a much better photographer than I am. You can find her work on Facebook and Instagram at NJC Photography. Take a look, then tell me I’m wrong.

In practice, I don’t really miss having a ‘proper’ camera. The iPhone delivers perfectly good images and there are plenty of apps to give it an extra boost if you want to. Plus, it doesn’t weigh a ton.

Anyway, I snapped this in the Yorkshire seaside resort of Scarborough last summer. If you’re viewing it on a desktop screen, I suggest you lean back in your chair for the best effect, rather than hunch forward. Leaning back just a little emphasises the leading lines formed by the breaking wave at the top of the picture and more detail on the rest of the water.

Either way, you get a human figure with both a reflection and a shadow. What more could you want?
