Impromptu is often the best. A beautiful summer evening. 23 degrees at 8pm. No kids obligations. We get a bag of chips and have dinner at the beach.
A walk across the ripples. The sun is beginning to set. We pass through the shadow of the big chimneys. All I have is my camera phone. What I get is this.
Impromptu is good.
This is where I think you get the benefits from the photographic training — insofar as you know how to *look* for scenes like that, how to notice them. Ordinary mortals are often more oblivious.

A matter of perspective. In both senses of the word. Leaving your usual POV and getting down is the secret, as any photographer would probably tell you.
I am always more amazed at the quality of shots that the iPhone can produce. And mine isn’t even a snazzy new one but an ancient iPhone 4…
But thanks, anyway 😀
