Process Notes
Because of the horse shoes, I could have taken a phone snap and used this as a regular post. Would using the SLR require sufficient technical skill to be useful as a photography exercise?
As it turns out, yes.
A) I got the big camera out. This qualifies under the ‘Go somewhere. Do something.’ criteria. [Photo Safari The First]
B) I took way more photos than I would have with a phone. Worked on background, angles, lighting and so on. I was surprised at how many I took. Even one set where I bracketed up and down to get different lighting.
Okay, content subjects can be photo exercise subjects. Good to know.
Onwards!

Yay! Good to work the camera – photo brain! And, you are correct — using a “real” camera takes one beyond the snapshot with an iPhone. MM
