01 | PATH OF WATER – SHOT ON A SMARTPHONE - WITH DON KOMARECHKA

"I love creating water droplet images, this one attempting to depict the flow of water down across flower petals. Each droplet refracting the image of an orange Gerbera daisy in the background. The most fun part of this image isn’t the subject, but rather the equipment; this image was photographed using my smartphone."

"Since the @apple iPhone 14 Pro was released, Apple has allowed the capture of 48MP raw image data off the main camera. This was photographed using the iPhone 15 Pro Max with the same feature, as well as a new lens that can allow for macro magnifications on the main camera (normally relegated to the wide-angle camera). The @moment 75mm macro lens is a simple attachment that pushes capabilities of the iPhone to the extreme. I’ve used an older Moment macro lens on an older iPhone, but the results were nothing quite like this."

02 | THE NEON MUSEUM, LAS VEGAS WITH RILEY ARTHUR

"The Neon Museum in Las Vegas is a feast for the eyes of sign geeks and mid century modern enthusiasts. Its sign boneyard is best visited at dusk or night for the full effect. It has also become wildly trendy with the influencer set, and as a result, The Neon Museum has some of the strictest photography restrictions of any museum I’ve ever been to. The Louvre has far fewer photo restrictions; seriously, look it up!"

"So, on my first visit to the museum, I was a bit nervous about bringing my Platypod tripod in (as you can imagine) but, I wagered that if I stood away from other guests and used my Platypod Tripod, and Platypod Grip on my iPhone (DSLRs are prohibited except on select days for a higher entry fee), I’d be okay."
