Phone pictures while on the dog walk today.

Is that a spider also?

The cameras on phones just keep getting better along with the processing behind the lens.

All of these images were from subjects swaying in a light breeze. the only thing I did from auto was set the focus and exposure to the main part of the subject.

I can practically see the allergens flying off them.

And that could well be a spider. Or maybe it's part of the plant.

Anyway, super well done!
