My idea for going back to my "roots" and using the big camera to not only take better pictures, but also pictures more inspiring for blogging seems to be helping. I love my quick grab iPhone shots because they are frequently telling a story, but the more traditional pictures remind me of why I enjoyed photography and blogging in the first place.
This may have something to do with computers versus phone screens. Everything looks fine on a phone screen. When I post a phone shot over here on the blog/computer, there always seems to be something missing. I think quality. Not that an interesting phone shot telling a quick story isn't a good photograph, but maybe the artistic depth isn't always there?
Something to chew on...
I saved this picture from a foggy morning a couple of days ago.

I know what you mean about the good photos with the big girl camera and the phone photos. I guess my phone does in a pinch but I always feel it is not as good as it could be.
I agree with Far Side. I have a problem with my computer, which is running on Windows 10 which is no longer supported and it won't let me download photos from one of my cameras and my Samsung phone. So I muddle along until I can get an updated computer for my Nikon photos.
I haven't had a big girl camera in ages, as in back before DSLR. Rick offers his big DSLR, but I'm not proficient with it and getting the photos from it to MY computer takes so many steps (and cooperation from Rick) that it rarely happens. So I have learned to be happy with what I get from my iPhone.
I know what you mean. I have hundreds (no thousands) on my phone because it's with me and I want the stories. But my camera photos are better for a lot of things although harder to share. I have to keep using both.
