It's NOT the Camera

I am always admiring images, paintings and graphic work which got me thinking about how they may have been created.
Our first thought is the creator must have this really expensive camera when it comes to a photograph? In some situations a good camera may be necessary but in the end it comes down to the person behind it and not the gear.

You may be thinking where is he going with this, well it has been a while since I gave myself an assignment. It was time to challenge myself but not with my digital SLR's, keep it simple. I always have my smart phone with me which has a built in camera and you can not get any simpler than that. It turned out to be a great way to sharpen my visual senses and have some fun. Sandy and I love to go for walks near our home no matter the weather or time of day. Most are from our walks, with a few from road trips. 
Here are a few that I have taken one step further and converted to HDR images, let me know what you think.

I am still changing myself how about you? Hidden talents and great images are your rewards.
