I'm going to give the 52 week challenge a try in hopes that it motivates me to honor my resolution to keep posting throughout the year. So this little baby in the photo should be seeing its shutter count increase exponentially!
As an aside, in order to get a shot of the tool most necessary to complete this challenge I had to resort to using my iPhone. I upgraded a few months ago to the iPhone 11 Pro Max, and the quality of the cameras in this this little hand held device is truly impressive! Is my DSLR a dying breed?!?!
Great start to your year. Junko @jyokota posted that she is going to Japan and taking her iPhone 11 Pro as her camera. I would think if Junko believes it is a good camera, then it is! Good luck on the 52w, it looks like a good challenge.
Lovely piece of photographic equipment beautifully captured in wonderful detail Ron, I'm up for this challenge to lets see how we both get on, I did the 52pom2019 and manage to complete every single weeks challenge:)
Good goal Ron! And sadly, I do think camera phone use has eclipsed
the DSLR. While the new phones are exceptional, us “diehards” won’t give up toting around our gear and lenses in hopes of the next great capture.
@louannwarren Thanks Lou Ann. I just posted another shot that I took with the iPhone. Junko's endorsement carries much weight! Thanks for the 52 week encouragement.
@redy4et I got curious and was looking at statistics on photos taken these days. The last I could find showed that in 2000, Kodak had somehow determined that 80 billion photos had been taken in all of history. And then by 2017 that number was up to 1.3 trillion! Now, after two more years, who knows? The same article claimed that 80% of those photos were taken my a digital device. I'll bet that percentage is even higher now. Probably more than you cared to know......

I am looking forward to watching your progress!
