About the Image(s)
Matterhorn
We hiked to and stayed in a hotel that gave us a view of the Matterhorn so I was able to get up early to take this predawn picture. I had my regular camera and my iPhone with me but this iPhone picture with the little white flowers I think turned out the best.
I’m not sure the settings matter but it was ISO 1000 43mm f1.78. I’m also including a picture that I did take with my OM for comparison and I’d love your thoughts on which is the stronger picture.

Welome, Karen! A beautiful image with the Matterhorn reflected in the lake. Also, lucky to have the water bird on the small island! I like the foreground of small flowwers. The second image was not available for comparison.
Since you did not indicate any post-processing, this image must be directly from the iphone...! Posted: 11/14/2025 06:47:02

Thank you for the welcome. I'm out of practice for posting - I did bring up the exposure a tad, brightened the shadows and cropped it a bit but otherwise it is right out of the phone. The bird is wood, but I won't tell anyone if you don't. Posted: 11/14/2025 11:03:22

as smart as a new pin. I was thinking, if you lower the camera position a bit, such as squatting down a bit, would it make the flowers closer and bigger, and at the same time, the contrast between the snow capped mountains and the flowers would be better? Posted: 11/15/2025 18:12:38
