I hadn’t planned to take any photos on the trip, so all I had was my iPhone. But luckily the iPhone has become good enough to capture scenes like this pretty well! The best camera is the one with you, eh?

I made this up in stunning color, but decided it was a bit too similar to a few previous shots I did (here and here) so I fired up Silver Efex and striped the color out, using a virtual red filter to make that sky pop.

Silver Efex, by the way, is one of my favorite apps. I should write a quick review of it sometime. Totally recommended if you like black and white photography.

Tweaks

I did a few more tweaks to the website. Let me know if you run into any problems. Included in this update is a handful of social buttons to the footer, and new fancier ad buttons on the sidebar, on parts of the site that have a sidebar.

The end of dSLRs?

Recently Trey Ratcliff wrote about how dSLR cameras are doomed and mirrorless cameras are the future. Do you agree with him?

I was going to write my thoughts, but it started to get a bit too long, so I will do it as a separate post later today or tomorrow. Look for it soon.

I shot this photo with my iPhone. It is HDR, but I thought the scene was just crying out for an older look so I converted it to sepia and added some grain to help with the effect.

When I post photos everyday, I pick a photo to post first and draft what I want to say in the post second. I say that to tell you that I really didn’t plan to post an iPhone shot to illustrate the point that dSLRs are dead. It just worked out that way

I tried processing this image with the LAB color technique shown in this video: LAB Colour. It was interesting. I’ll have to explore more with this technique in the future!
