Good morning from a cold and rainy Joburg. Come in off the cold and into my cozy lounge as we catch up over coffee.
If we were having coffee, we’d go through the photos I took with my phone this week and let them tell the story.
Monday was the last day in my coaching engagement in the Joburg CBD. I’m starting a new one this coming week in another location. I’m going to miss the CBD.

I entered the iPhoneography competition. It’s the first time I did it for the learning experience. My pics are still two-dimensional and I can improve the way I frame them. I’m following a few great iPhoneographers on Instagram and am learning from them. I’ve also downloaded Snapseed and VSCO Cam. I still prefer Instagram though, I’ve been using it for a while so it’s what I know best. I’m starting to like Snapseed – the photo above was edited with it.
Check out the pics I entered in the iPhoneography competiton. My Instagram handle is reginatmartins.
If we were having coffee I’d tell you that I was very chuffed that my post was chosen as one of the featured posts in Cee’s Which Way Challenge: In Franschoek. It’s always so much fun entering Cee’s photo challenges.
Yesterday I spent playing with my cute nephew, he of the swallowed 10c coin. The photo below was edited with Snapseed as well.

I have no major plans for next week other than preparing for the workshop I’m doing at the Scrum Gathering in October. That’s major enough.

What is that that you were playing with your nephew? It looks like the most insane game of mastermind ever conceived!
It’s not mastermind, it’s a grid with a whole lot of coloured pieces with which to “draw” pictures. I asked him to “draw” me a number 4 :-). I love mastermind and my niece does too, so I play it with her when I visit.
Hi Regina, I must say your photos are brilliant whats more to learn that you took them on your iphone was encouraging. I take all my photos with my smart phone, as you may be aware I am not a great photographer I wish I could be able to be more creative with it.
What makes me use my smart phone is that it ‘s
easy to share them on most of social media, I had such problems trying to share my photos from my camera to any where else. Your photos left feeling a bit nostalgic. Thanks.

Oh yes, they make it so much easier to share photos on social media. Have you tried Instagram? It’s really cool. I follow a few great photographers and I try to imitate their photos so that I can learn from them in that way. The key is to keep taking photos, that’s what a professional photographer friend of mine once said, and practice does indeed make better. Thank you for your lovely comment, I understand your nostalgia.
Love the photos! I’m hoping to get a decent camera soon and start photographing the area more. 🙂

Thanks Diana! I’d like to tell more meaningful stories with my camera. I recently bought a 50mm lens and it was the best buy.
