Here is a nice Hellebore photographed against a blurry backdrop that I made by deliberately changing the focus on a shoot and passing through a gaussian blur post process. #F8andBeThere

Been a busy week where I taught two smartphone photo classes.
I want to update my main class to add different images, not just gardening. Probably more food and architecture.
And I want to develop my Flatlay class.
Any other class ideas?

Playing around with ChatGPT by uploading some target images and asking it how to create that look and feel in lightroom, then following the 'recipe'. Lots to learn.

Decided to enter a photo contest at the last minute (bragging rights only); this image didn't make my personal cut but it has a cool spiderweb on it.

I add #lentils to our family meals for their fiber and protein so I can support my gut health. Fiber shifts the #microbiome to produce short chain fatty acids, reducing gut inflammation, regulating my immune system, and decreasing my #coloncancer cell proliferation.

I love #minimalist #photography (in addition to gardens and plants). This is a quick snapshot at the National Gallery of Art in DC last week. I almost used it in my talk yesterday about smartphone photography #f8andBeThere #shotoniphone
