I thought I’d share this image with you. It’s one I took on a family day out to Bodiam Castle in Robertsbridge, East Sussex.
I like the way the sun is shining through the tree’s branches. It was a very bright day with no clouds so the sun was very powerful and the tree, as you can see, ended up in silhouette.
While I always prefer to use a DSLR camera, this image was taken on my mobile’s camera. It never ceases to amaze me how good camera phones have become and for close-up shots, I sometimes get better results using my phone.
I have dragged myself out of my sick bed to link this image to the #MySundayPhoto photographic linky hosted by the Photalife blog. I fear I have a touch of the flu and this has hindered my attempts to get out with my camera this week (the shot above was, I confess, taken a couple of months ago).
I wish you all a very good bank Holiday weekend. I’m afraid I plan to return to my sick bed!

Beautiful photo, I hope you feel better soon.
Thank you for linking up
Thanks for hosting Darren. Feeling quite a bit better thanks. Will join in properly next week.
Dramatic silhouette!
Feel well soon!
#MySundayPhoto
it is quite dramatic isn’t it? I am thankfully well on the mend, thanks.
Worth posting. Now go back to bed and rest up.
Yes, that’s exactly what i did! feeling quite a bit better now thankfully.
Fab photo, I find photos in to the sun often work better on a mobile
Yes, I think you are right. For some reason camera phones create better silhouettes.
What a great photo! I must say I’ve taken similar ones on my phone too. I think there are certain things which seem to work better on a phone.
Sorry to hear you’re poorly and hope you feel better soon!
Thanks Sarah, on the mend now. It is strange, sometimes phone cameras do take better shots don’t they? Often when you least expect it.
I hope you get well soon. I take all my outdoor photos with my phone. It takes great pics in daylight and is so easy to carry. I find a dslr and toddler is too much to worry about #MySundayPhoto
ha ha, yes you have a good point. A DSLR and a toddler do not always mix well.
What a fabulous shot and like you I prefer to use my Canon but sometimes the phone is all I have and it does constantly surprise me how damn good it can be

Thanks Molly, yeah, camera phones can deliver wonderful photographs if used correctly.
Sorry to hear you are unwell. Hope you feel better soon. This is a beautiful shot. I love the sun’s rays coming out through the branches of the tree.
