iPhone Friday

A 2015 capture with the iPhone 5s; a simpler smartphone camera, still capable of catching an interesting scene.

After last week’s iPhone Friday with a gorgeous image from a recent iPhone, I’m going back to the iPhone 5s that I had in 2015. The camera didn’t have all the bells and whistles that it has now, but nevertheless it could create some interesting shots.

Let’s take a look at 2015…

Rocky Pond Autumn

I captured this autumnal scene of Rocky Pond in Boylston, Massachusetts. I would take backroads into work and regularly make a stop or two for photography. Some mornings, I’d look at the sky and decide to go one way or another to check the views.

Even though the iPhone 5s was a lower pixel-count camera without some of the smart adjustments that we have today, it’s still a fun shot! The cold air creates a haze across the pond, the lens flare offsets the dark trees. Just some fun items that still come together well for me.
