Phone Photography contest by @untilwelearn

avatar

This post is going to the Photo-essay community Hive-14396. The requirements are at least 5 photos taken with your mobile device and 150 words to tell your story. It is a friendly photography community. This post is intended to promote the contest, but do not include it as a contest entry.

I am not the best with taking photos with my phone. I have limited use of my left hand and it's often difficult to hold the phone and take the photo without getting things a bit blurred! I much prefer using my camera.
These are my 5 photos taken recently. I'm looking forward to seeing yours!

This large dragonfly didn't sit still on the roses for very long, and unless you are paying attention it tends to blend in with the foliage!

The colorful basket all artificial flowers on the handlebars of this bicycle captured my attention. I hope the rider is able to see over all the flowers

Don't you love the way squirrels hold their 'hands' together? They have been feasting on the millions of cicadas that hatched here recently. The camera zoom worked pretty well here.

Lovely flowers beside a nearby neighbors front steps.

Ivy on this turret window. I always imagine there is a window seat and someone is sitting up there reading a book! That's what I would be doing if that was my window.

There are my 5 phone photos for this week.
The new week's contest begins on Sunday.
Good luck! But even if you don't win, you will be awarded with Ecency Points for entering and following the rules! Phonography-Phone Photography CONTEST

5% beneficiary rewards go to @ecency and 5% to @untilwelearn

Yes, you are very good at taking photos, I love how they all capture the beauty of nature. My favorites are the first two photos. But I fell in love with the photograph of the squirrel, it looks very cute!

I do better taking photo with my camera! Squirrels are cute, but they cause a lot of damage digging in my flower pots!

I love the idea of sitting by that window while reading a book.
And wow, these photos are beautiful.

I sometimes wonder if you live in heaven (images are so beautiful ❤️). The turret window image looked like the castle tower where princess Rapunzel (from tangled) was imprisoned.

Btw, what happened to your left hand

Still on a dilemma of not seeing photos despite the show images option is on and can't upload photos as well (thus joining these photography contests impossible for me)... despite not seeing them, I'm imagining beautiful photos that you just shared in this post.

Have a lovely weekend! 🌹🌹🌹

Are you using the @ecency app or ecency.com? Are you able to see images if you use the other? Ecency.com works well from mobile.

Hi, are you from Philippine? We heard in some regions images seem to be blocked by government.

Hello there, yes I'm from the Philippines. I used to see the images though and can upload photos. I can upload photos on Actifit but not on Ecency. Quite sad and frustrating. But I'm sure maybe someday I can get through this prob! Thank you for the info! Have a good day! ☕🌻

What error do you get when you try to upload? Can you try Ecency.com and Ecency mobile app in both cases if there is an error, please take screenshot and share with us. 🙏

Hello again, I haven't tried Ecency.com yet. I only use ecency mobile app. I haven't done uploading again because I still can't see images yet from everyone's posts. But I remember, everytime I tried uploading, ecency closed. When I opened ecency again I only see one line which probably means the app stop halfway during uploading process.

Typed this reply ages ago but showed an error saying something about wrong token. I'm out now using data, will see if it works...

If the app is not working for you maybe try uninstalling it and then reinstalling?
But you please try going to Ecency.com to see if the web site works better for you. Let me know, if you can. ❤️

I hope those are "legal" roses 😜 I had a bay window when I lived in Minneapolis. Wow that was 25 years ago. Where does the time go? I look back and I didn't spend enough time sitting in that window reading.

My kids laugh at me because I am always saying 'well things give out when they're 20 years old or yeah I bought that 20 years ago' and they remind me that it might have been more like 30 or 40! 😁

Hello lady @melinda010100
Your photographs are really beautiful, I love the squirrel's face when he looked surprised because you were taking his picture.
Beautiful shots, I love this contest

Thanks! The squirrel may have only been looking to see if I was going to throw him a peanut!

My humble opinion is that the photos are very well taken, your says that you have a small limitation, but the work is excellent.
I love the photo of the dragonfly, as you say, it camouflages very well, the wings look perfectly, I like the post.
I wish you a happy day

Those are such beautiful shots! Very well done! I'm not great using my phone for pictures either, it probably means I need to upgrade my phone!

My phone is good, it's the photographer that is not! Most of my phone photos get trashed.

I usually take care of my phones, but every year there is some new cool feature and I refuse to buy a new phone every year. Mine's about ready for an upgrade!

I am lucky that my son is passionate about technology and every couple of years I receive a new phone for Christmas. I may need to keep using my Pixel 7 Pro for a while though, because he has decided I need a new lift chair for Christmas this year. 😂

One thing I find very interesting about squirrels is that when they stop at one place for a few moments, they become as still as a statue and then as soon as they move, they move so fast that you don't even realize and they disappear. 😅
You really live in a very beautiful place. There is a different smell of freshness in every picture. :) Thank you for promoting our contest. If this post was in the contest entries then its victory would have been confirmed. 😊❤️
