  • October 2025 iPhone Sunset Photographs- Part 2

    March 13, 2026 /

    Hi everyone! It’s time for the second post in my two post iPhone sunset photography series. In this series, I wanted to talk about photographs I took in October 2025 of a desert sunset. The first photographs, which I already talked about in a post here, is of a saguaro cactus with the sun setting behind it. For this post, I will talk about the photographs I took of the same saguaro cactus on the same day, but from a different angle. At the time I took these photographs, I wanted to see how well an iPhone’s photos can be edited in a new photo editing software I was trying…

    March 9, 2026 /

    Hi everyone! In October 2025, I decided to try to use my iPhone to take some photographs of a sunset and the desert. Prior to this, I was using my iPhone for a few months to take photographs of nature. I did this just to know the difference between my camera (A Cannon Rebel T7) and my iPhone. (I already knew my camera was (And still is) better at taking photographs, but I still wanted to take pictures and compare them in new editing software I was thinking of using) On this day, I decided to use the iPhone to take picture and not my camera as well. After editing…

  • Discovering One of My Favorite Photogenic Cacti Has Died- Cactus 2

    August 11, 2025 /

    Hi everyone! Well, the time has come to talk about a second cactus that has died. This time, it is a saguaro cactus. This cactus was my favorite saguaro cactus to take sunset photographs of during the late fall, winter, and early spring. The sun would be perfectly positioned behind it, making the best sunset photographs. Earlier this year, I discovered the cactus had finally died. I wasn’t surprised it died because it looked like it has issues for the past three or so years. Still, it made me upset and very sad to see that it has finally passed away.

    Hi everyone! Well, this post isn’t a very happy one. I discovered earlier this year one of my favorite cacti I would take photographs of has died. This isn’t the only cactus I loved to take photographs of that has died, but it is the first I want to talk about.

    Hi everyone! I’m back with more old photographs I took of a sunset in Arizona last year. Like with Part 1, I took these photographs of an area where I like to photographs sunset, sunrises, and the desert in general. I knew it would be changing sooner rather than later, so I like to take photographs of any pretty sunset in this area. I took these photographs using the camera on my smartphone. I didn’t have the chance to get my Cannon camera, so I used my phone. Also, I took all the photographs in this post on a different day than the photographs in the Part 1 post.

    Hi everyone! I’ve found some more photographs I took last year of sunset in the Arizona desert. I was taking as many photographs as I could when the sky was nice last year. The desert where I normally like to take photographs is changing… again. I wanted to take as many photographs I could before it changed so much I couldn’t take photographs of the natural desert. I took the photographs in this post using a smart phone. I wanted to take photographs using my Cannon camera, but I could use it on this day.

    Hi everyone! I found some more sunset photographs I want to post! I took these photographs with my iPhone in November 2024. I’m really annoyed I didn’t post these photographs sooner, but I’m afraid they got lost on my computer. Now that I found them, I decided to post them before I lose them again!

    Hi everyone! It’s been a while since I published a post featuring my photographs. For the most part, I’ve been having some issues with my photo editing software and some other issues with my camera. My camera is fine now, but I’m seriously looking into getting a different photo editing software. I’m really upset about this, but I know it’s time to work with a different software. Other than that, I’ve been taking photographs. Sadly, I haven’t been doing a good job posting my favorites online. This summer, I decided to focus on publishing more posts of my photograph. I want to start with some sunset photographs I took in…

In this post, I wanted to include close up photographs of one of the cactus. In a future post, I will include the rest of the close up photographs I didn’t include in this and other posts.

    Hi everyone! I needed to take a break from posting for Easter and to focus on things that were going on in my life at that time. Even though it is April, I haven’t found any cactus that have blossomed. The ones I am the most focused on taking photographs of is the Engelmann’s Hedgehog Cactus (Echinocereus Engelmannii). Usually these cacti will bloom this month, but I have yet to find any that have bloomed. Even though I haven’t taken photographs of this year’s blooms like I planned, I still have photographs I took from last year. In this post are close ups of a hedgehog cactus that bloomed last…
