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…
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!
