I should have found three among fifty thousand.
Mission impossible.
Exhausted from socializing, consecutive dinners on Friday and Saturday, where I consumed wine with food, today I did not have the mental strength to think and analyze my behavior and my life.
But I had the time and desire to look for some interesting photos I took with my phone.
Basically, the only photos I take are with my mobile phone, because no matter how much I wanted to buy myself a better camera with interchangeable lenses at some point, when I saw how tourists in cities carry bulky cameras around their necks, I lost the will.
And remained only on mobile phone cameras, which are always with me, within easy reach.
And when I need this week's topics:
Your best mobile phone images of something other than selfies...post three and explain where they were taken and what you love about them
took to look through the archives of just this phone that I'm using now, I decided that actually the task would be too difficult.
I have 21750 photos in the memory of this phone alone π
How many do I have on the two 1TB portable HDDs that I store my photos on? 50000 or 100000, who knows π
There is no way I can go through so many photos and decide which one is the best.
I only know one thing, I avoid taking selfies, so there are probably very few of them in those archives.
And then I decided to declare as the best photos those that connect me to some memories, people dear to me and places where sqm enjoyed.
Travels
Most of the photos I have in my phone's memory were taken during my travels. But it's not just the places I travel that matter to me.
The most important thing for me is the company with which I visit those places and the memories that remain in our memories for many years after such trips.
The four of us visited several countries and locations together and we had a great time and fun at each one.
As I tried to take a good photo of the group jump of my three companions, on the beach of Barcelona, ββwe almost perished. As for the dozens of jumps, and the laughter we couldn't hold back.
The family
I have a lot of old pictures in my phone, with some close people, members of my family and relatives, some of them are no longer among the living, but in order not to bring tears to my eyes this weekend, I will use a photo to remember those who are alive and well, but far away from me and whom I miss.
When my brother was visiting Belgrade with his family, with his son (my cousin), I went to the Imaginarium, where one scene was planned for the "Twisted" room, where the two of us played Spider-Man.
As sad as I am that my nephew is not around, I am happy because he lives in a country that will provide him with a better quality of life than our country would.
Photography
And so that I don't click the camera countless times wherever I happen to be, I also have a few photos in Pro mode, where I tried to play with changing the exposure.
It was in Podgorica, near the confluence of Ribnica and MoraΔ.
The colleague I was with in Podgorica is a photography enthusiast and he taught me how to play with exposure at dusk.
After this photo, I turned on the Pro mode on my phone camera a few more times and manually adjusted the shutter speed, zoom, sharpness, which made interesting photos, but this image of the stream remains the best in my first steps of non-auto mode photography.
