iPhoneography

I never go anywhere without my iPhone. I am surprised at just how much fun it is. Who knew? (well, millions actually). The camera is the most used feature (along with the many processing apps). Big surprise? Without it, I would have missed capturing these scenes of light on my morning walks around town. This one was taken just down the street (W.Dunne) from my house.
I took this on my way into the CRC for an early yoga class. Half the sky was lit up. Camera shake prevented a clear photo, so I "posterized" it in PS Elements.
I have walked by this old oak on E. Third Street many times. On this particular morning, my timing was perfect. Within a minute, the glow was gone. HDR Pro took 2 photos and blended them. I further processed it in Snapseed.
This morning was overcast and cold with no sky on fire or glowing trees; but on my hike part way up El Toro (the easy part), I still found interesting scenes that whispered, "Take a picture of me." The next 3 were also taken with HDR Pro and processed with Snapseed.
Big Lens allows you (me) to set depth of field
after the photo is taken. Cool, huh?
I realized this morning that my camera is a terrific companion.
We always have a good time together.

  1. You're having far too much fun with your iPhone. I'm enjoying seeing and hearing about it. Nice work, and keep on keepin' on with the fun. I love my iPhone, but am not an iPhone photography fan (yet?). Love to carry my small pocket camera everywhere just in case, but pundits predict the demise of the pocket camera due to continuing phone camera advancements. All told, we all just love being out there and capturing and documenting our life, with whatever tools. Cheers!
