Making a Photograph...





"You don't take a photograph,
you make it."
Ansel Adams

I recently got a new iPhone 8+.
My friend has a new iPhone 10 and is enamoured
with the camera.  She kept telling me what a great
camera it is and that my iPhone 8 has the same camera.
So...we're walking in our nearby botanical gardens,
and I'm playing with my phone camera.  She shows 
me how to do her favorite..."portrait mode".
I just happen to accidentally put the camera
on Portrait mode, Stage Light Mono....
And voila!!!

OK...I'm a die hard Nikon user 
...and now... 
I'm pretty impressed with my iPhone!!!

    That is just gorgeous! Nothing more to be said :)
    Mine is the iPhone6, and the camera's only any good for snaps. Hubby has the Samsung S8 - now THAT'S a camera!

    Beautiful! I also have an 8+ and love the camera. The only quirk I've found is I often have to correct the white balance on indoor photos.

      I agree Brian! Although I found that the ap options didn't always work the way they were supposed to. Still, it's a great back up camera!

    Great picture. I wonder how long it will be before that 'huge DLSR' things we carry will seem as old as plate cameras? Sooner that I expect probably!

    I was thinking of switching to Nikon but I couldn't swing the price so settled for another cropped sensor Canon. Funny, I was thinking what a professional looking photo this was and that it must have been taken with a full frame camera.

      Haha! I usually shoot with a full frame Nikon...the d750... But here I was at the gardens with only my iphone! The best camera is the one you've got with you!
