Portrait one for me too. K.

Thanks everyone.

As to the name, it's just the type of flower. I hadn't thought of the "other" meaning!

Love it!

Taken with my Pentax SV and an Auto-Takumar 35mm lens.

Me too.

Tim Clinch, a professional photographer who writes for B&W Magazine amongst others, regularly uses a phone and sometimes even for paid, professional jobs. As always, it is more about the person using the gear than the gear itself.

For me, one frustration is not knowing if the "camera" is tilting. I can have an on-screen level which helps get the horizon straight but not one which helps with tilt. It is pretty much just a software issue (and I'm guessing some newer phones might have it). It still won't have the fun factor of using a Pentax SV loaded with FP4...

The Q gets used for work and fun. I started getting the Q as an "easy carry" when out cycling and then got addicted to it. I often carry it as my "digital alternative" when out shooting film.

I have sometimes used my phone, and even won a couple of competitions with photos taken on it, but mostly I go back to an SLR: digital if I need images quickly (for work etc), film for fun. I find myself shooting more and more film these days.

My Super Takumar 35mm f/2.... the lens has radioactive bits and turned yellow and I haven't got around to putting it out in the sun (what sun?) to get rid of it. As a result... built in yellow filter.

As others have said, there isn't really a "lens" for BW apart from those with bad aberrations which is more "avoid colour".

Gorgeous.
