That is a very fine portrait! My wife has an iPhone 7+, and really loves this portrait feature. Being a troglodyte, I still use an iPhone 6+, and rarely use the camera for anything beyond images from Rotary meeting to use in our bulletin or interesting meals to share with my son. Dan Matyola

Re: Eclipse photography

What i have done in the past is to use 2 polarizing filters and cross polarize them. 1st one (closest to sun) must be a non circular type. Done it this way as i am cheap and is all that i have. Also good results can be had with a welding glass. How you mount it however is entirely up to you.

PESO - Vines

Starting to process 2012 photos. For some odd reason, didn't take many that year. Nothing great, but I liked the patterns (and colors). It was taken in bright sunlight. Napa, California. I've never figured out why they let the vineyards all go to mustard in the spring/early summer.

Thanks, Bob. Aha, thanks for the mustard tip too. It grows naturally in California, BUT it can be planted too (and comes back the following year). It is so prevalent in vineyards I felt growers must encourage it. Marnie aka Doe And Napa used to have a Mustard Festival. On 7/14/2017 4:15
