Good morning from a grey looking Hastings.
It is time for Sally’s challenge for our non–SLR devices again.
It was interesting to see the new camera specs for the IPhone 6 and 6 Plus last week. The IPhone 6Plus looks like it could be a mini SLR camera which should be good. We don’t always have our large cameras with us, but we usually have cellphones on us.
Anyway I have gone for a New Zealand theme today. The All Blacks won against South Africa last Saturday night in a tight rugby match. So I thought it would be appropriate to show some ferns in black and white. These photos were taken in the native bush at Cornwall Park earlier this year.
They have been edited with Snapseed, Perfect Affects 8 and Photoscape.

Thanks for visiting and check out some other great posts for this challenge.
Each image is given a solid stage that also focuses more on their contrasts in monochrome. The processing really brings out patterns and tones. Happy Photo Challenge.

The ferns look really dramatic in monochrome. Great subject for this theme. I am about to explore my options for this week’s subject.

These almost look like old wood block prints — very cool!

These ferns in black and white are beautiful! That iPhone 6 plus looks a little large to hold up to your ear for a phone conversation, but for the camera…kinda nice!

I wouldn’t use the new phone at my ear – on speaker is ok. I am more interested in the camera. 😀

Love the framing, they all pop as unique art work, Well done!!!
I do crave the new IPhone but I”m waiting to see how it feels to hold it in my hand. If it’s too awkward I wouldn’t use it. Hope not.
Thanks for the review and sharing the apps.

Raewyn, this set is one of my favorite of things you’ve done. I think they’re beautiful and I love the editing! I have an iPhone 5S, which I just got less than a year ago, so I’ll be sticking with mine. I think Apple’s being pressured by companies such as Samsung, whose Galaxy has gotten rave reviews. Good for Apple to have to work at it a bit.

I haven’t had my phone for long either but am struggling to see with it. That is why I want a bigger phone. Thanks for visiting. Much appreciated. 😀
