Our smartphones have become ubiquitous devices that both keep us on an electronic leash and enable us to do some pretty cool things (other than working every waking hour…). I mentioned before that I tend to use my iPhone to take some test shots to get a better sense of how I want to compose a certain image; of course, it also provides me the benefit of having the exact location where I’m shooting.

Sometimes I, and I suspect many of you, find out that such a test shot came out pretty well and is worth taking a second look at…

White Domes Loop Trail

This is one of those images; as I got a little lower with my iPhone to see how it looked from that angle this shot came about. Afterwards, I was really pleased with the way the iPhone captured both the texture and various colors with a rather nice sense of balance.

Oh, and I did take some shots with my ‘serious’ camera after setting up the tripod at about this level. They came out pretty good too!

  1. This looks like Petra in Jordan.

    1. I hadn’t thought about that, but it has a sense of Petra. This is a canyon in the White Dome loop in Valley of Fire state park
