Variations on a theme

[Stromer]

I wouldn’t ever assume anyone was copying and seriously wouldn’t care if anyone did. Please feel free to post

It's not copying. It's taking inspiration...

Thanks. I'm new to the thread and don't want to ruffle any feathers.
Given that I hadn't seen either of @kara1234 first two pics in this theme, maybe its because great minds thinks alike.

It's not a silhouette photo, but a photo of silhouettes... of the Schuyler sisters to be precise... on the doors of the Richard Rogers Theatre.

Haven’t had any alone time in the past few days to attempt anything fancy but grabbed a couple selfies this afternoon

Have you know respect for traditions? It would be like Michael Scott not saying "That's what she said"

Maybe a better example for you would be it would be like tea without biscuits.

I try very hard to stay in my lane in your thread but I can't help wandering occasionally. (Sorry)

I know. That's why the shittalk was gentle

And good morning to you two!

It was a god attempt, and nicely moody

You are crushing this theme Kara!!
I keep having a hard time getting my phone to focus on the backlight. Especially once it sees movement. Any tips?

I believe she's found a phone which tells her phone to focus on the light source, but I could be wrong here.

I tend to do mine by making sure the light source is slightly visible in the pic which floods the brightness sensors and blacks me out. And if that's not enough, filters help

I put the camera phone on ”Expert Raw” mode. I was able to click the focus on the brightest part of the photo. 2 taps locked it. (I have a Samsung Galaxy). I‘d been trying to do it with “pro mode” all week but had that same problem with it not staying when I moved

Oh that’s awesome. I have an older iPhone and I don’t think it takes raw photos but I’m going to play around and see if there’s a lock focus option

Definitely try the Pro Mode. It might work with the iPhone. I read this article

This is just letting the selfie camera do it's work with the sun flooding its brightness sensors...

Might work outside with my phone. Window or artificial light won’t do it without manual focus. I wish I could use my real camera lol

What is pro mode? I don’t think I have that. But I did just read that if I press and hold I can turn on focus lock. I’m going to play around at my daughter’s naptime
