Here are two pairs of photographs, taken at the Valtavaara hill route in Kuusamo on July 2nd. Two of the photographs were taken with the LX100, two with the iPhone SE. Can you spot the difference?
After a week of traveling to London I'm back in Finland, and it is raining, heavily.
And oh the awful wonder of what is happening with Trump. I do hope truth and openness will win this case.

The photographs were taken on June 30th at Ruka in Kuusamo, climbing to the top of Rukatunturi hill.
This morning I managed to go through all the photographs taken so far this summer. With the iPhone SE I have taken 2,000 photographs, and I'm getting somewhat familiar with the results. Often they are quite good. The LX100 is a much better photographic tool, but I don't carry it with me when I go riding the bicycle.

The photographs were taken in Helsinki on March 31st using an iPhone SE. I have taken a couple of hundred photographs with it, and even though the photographs mostly turn out quite all right, taking the photographs doesn't feel as natural as with the Panasonic LX100. But perhaps it is just a matter of practice.
My oldest daughter has been abroad for over five weeks, as an exchange student, learning the language and local customs. She seems to be thriving. Communication is a bit challenging due to the seven-hour time difference.

The photographs were taken on March 17th in Helsinki with an iPhone SE. I managed to import the 200 photographs I took to Aperture, and most of them turned out fine, given my inexperience of using the iPhone. I even found out how to delete 200 photographs at one go from the iPhone.
Compared to the Nokia E7 which I had earlier, the camera in the iPhone SE is dramatically better, in fact quite useful when there is no "real" camera to use. In fact, it may turn out that I'll take quite a lot of photographs with the iPhone, given the convenience of carrying it with me always. Especially as there is a setting for using the square aspect ratio. The Camera app remembers the settings used previously, making it a rather convenient tool. I practised how to focus to a particular point and how to set the exposure, and even though the user interface is still a bit strange, mostly it works as one would expect it to work.

The photograph was taken on February 21st.
I took some photographs today with the iPhone SE. I haven't yet looked at how they turned out, but the camera controls were not too bad, and there was even a setting for the square aspect ratio, easily selected.
I need to check whether my workflow of transferring photographs to Aperture works well with the iPhone: manual mass transfer of photographs, and emptying afterwards the camera to make room for the next photographs. I'm sure that there is a way to automatically transfer photographs from the iPhone to Flickr, but that doesn't suite my way of working with the photographs. I'm quite fond of Aperture even though the software was discontinued by Apple.

I decided to change the subject from wilderness to Helsinki city. Thanks to Markus for pointing out Arno Minkkinen and Helsinki Bus Stop Theory. The photographs were taken on February 23rd and 27th.
They say that great minds think alike, and so these two postings happened: (Not) Shot on iPhone 6 and Not Shot on Iphone6. I don't have an iPhone, but there are two of them (older models) in the family. I must say that in terms of how easy it has been to have them I'm rather happy. Everything works.
Today I commuted by bicycle, with summer tires installed, and it was good and easy.
To celebrate great minds I searched for a poem with the word iPhone in it, and thus the posting title is from the poem Torment by Daisy Fried.
