When I try to capture B&W photos on my iPhone 15 pro they are round?

Lot of cool color combinations! I like 3 and 4 a lot. It has nice color contrast with the orange and blue and the framing is cool. I like 4 because it’s soft throughout the image and it’s very abstract. There are nice tones throughout the image as well. Nice work!

I have the Loawa 25mm ultra macro lens, and I also struggle with hand held macro photography, but as you said it is great using a tripod and go up to 5x magnification, may be I should consider using a monopod like you, that would help a bit I guess.

The multiple exposure photos are nice. All the images have a cool look with the darkness and the texture with them. I like 2 and 4. I like the swan with the cityscape in the background and I enjoy the layers created in image 4, they blend well together. Nice work!

#4. It looks abstract. The contrast of lighting makes the veins of the leaf pop, and it gives a mysterious and broken feel for me. #3 is cool, too. I like the depth of field. The bee on the top makes the photo more interesting and gives the feel of movement, plus adds the complementary color. Thanks for capturing and sharing things we tend to overlook. Even the grasshopper "living his best dead life." Haha.

I have an old screw mount 50mm f/1.2, there's some vignetting, some distortion, and well, a lot of "character" to it, thankfully not much in the way of chromatic aberrations, though. It's probably my most used lens over the past six months, all of the imperfections breathe the messiness of life into the photos I take -- or, at least that's the way that I see it. I have had tons of crazy sharp lenses, Sigma primes, many Tamron zooms, and there's a place for them with client work, sports, wildlife, etc, but for the everyday fun creative photography? Manual focus primes all the way, old or new, doesn't matter to me, they're still my favorite. The camera's viewfinder makes a world of difference, though, it's often way higher resolution than the screen and allows me to nail focus easier, especially on higher end bodies like the A7R IV. Sony's focus peaking also should be set to low IMO, on medium and high you end up with it going off on rather soft out of focus images. Low is a little harder to see, but when you see it, you know it's sharp. Even for street photography and subjects moving towards you, it can be done, probably not at f/1.4, f/2 and such, but I don't have too much trouble at f/4, f/5.6 and f/8 after lots and lots of practice over the past few years.

You have good framing on all of these images. The images have a cool look. I like 1/3 a lot. I like 1 because there’s a sense of depth with the model being close to camera and it creates a sense of place. I really like 3 with the posing and framing. Nice work!

Thanks! I ended up getting the Sony 200-600. I do like that lens but it’s so heavy. I always need a monopod with it and when walking trails it becomes annoying. The 70-300 is so much smaller and lighter. But I still use the 200-600 because of the reach. I can see why some wildlife photographers choose to do a micro 4/3 system instead of full frame because they can get something like a 200-600 without the lens being so big. Also I typically don’t take my 200-600 out that much because it’s so big. But the image quality is great on it. I’m still glad I have it.

ive been using manual lenses on my Sony and i've had great results. For anything moving, I just put it on F/5.6-F/8, pre-focus with zone-focusing and make small adjustments as needed. Even moving subjects are totally acceptable that way. I had autofocus fail on me, even with an high-end body (A7RV) and high-end glass (GM), so I have to check, check doublecheck my photos anyway. Manual focus changed my photography. It elevated my photography. I've yet to buy a native mount manual focus, I currently use OM lenses (for analog OM cameras), but the voighlanders are definitely on my wishlist. There is no 28mm lens available, sadly. I currently use a 21mm F/2 and 28mm F/3.5

“I take a ton of photos.” Just like my street photography, my ICM images fail between 95-98% of the time. I need to do something easier. I’m open to happy accidents too. I have been thinking of doing B&W ICM. I’ve been doing ICM for less than a year. I like you do color & B&W ICM photos. Your images are not only ghostly, they remind me of x-rays. This is a style and taste thing. I love my B&W street images to be very contrasty. I crush my blacks. Have you considered more contrast and having the images darker? This may change your look a little. Doing street photography with ICM is difficult. With my still life’s I try to take a straight photo to compare to the ICM image. A base image. My favorite image is #3. The one with the light beams. A very nice series of images. Thank you for your images. I enjoyed them immensely. Mask On Nurse Marty (Ret).
