I couldn't decide between the natural green tint of the images or the black and white conversion. Which do you prefer?
Fort Popham is a granite fort constructed at the mouth of the Kennebec River. It was never completed but used to garrison troops in both the Spanish-American War and WWI. Most notably, it was commanded by Captain Augustin Thompson who later crafted the regional favorite beverage, Moxie Soda.
It was here that I discovered that my phone's camera can just about replaced my smaller focal length, walkabout lenses. The light wasn't spectacular outside the fort so I decided to leave my camera in the car. The light inside, however, was great. So I pulled out my phone to snap some quick shots to remember the visit. These are the results.
Now, I still need my camera and lenses for specialty shots like long exposures; long, compressed portraits; or macros. We'll see what happens whenever I upgrade my current camera, I may change my mind entirely (and a large part of me hopes so).
