This is actually a picture I took with my phone from the LCD of my cam. I am too tired to fire up the Laptop...

Maybe you should relax and enjoy the trip and you can edit the images when your back safe and sound,,,

These recaptured 'phone images' are not really worthy of sharing,,,

I do not think so. Technical quality is generally overestimated. Most of these pictures are flawless in their original RAW and it is possible to already see what I saw through these representations.

The Robert Frank Style second image in this thread is a phone image actually degraded intentionally by editing on the phone....

I think this is about priorities - technically perfect or in real travel time at the technical degree which one can squeeze in.

I like the capture in #67 for it's scifiness and the first in #69, which is a bit alienesce.

Some others could be considered disputable, but I prefer to see them in the context of close to real time travel reporting.
There are somewhat exhausting times when on the road, affecting what one can do and what not (who is free of that?).
I appreciate he's keeping us in close.
I'm sure Frank will fall back into his usual quality style once he gained his power energy balance back.

Personally, I would rather see pictures like the one in e.g. post #65 than seeing none at all. I did not think "degraded" when I saw that.

Is that photo on the Angeles Crest Highway? It looks very familiar.

Today I took many pictures.

Editing is a pain on my Laptop:
only two cores / four threads (instead of 16/32)
only 8 GB of RAM (instead of 64 GB)
only 1366x786 pixels instead of 1900x1200

Most of my time is lost on waiting for the computer...

First set: Some Swiss guys rented one of the legendary "Tarantino" Motorcycles. An "Indian with suicide shifter"

We met them at the "General Grant" Giant Sequoia site

"Technically perfect" ? Sorry to be rude: I don't like the color grading, the composition, even the subjects of most of the pictures (yes, there are a few good ones).  I have the impression of browsing an amateur photo book. Or may be there is a sort of intellectual approach; in that case, I completely missed the point, and you should disregard my comments as coming from an old fart. Sorry Frank, I've seen much better coming from you.
