A PLACE FOR THINGS

Last week I took a quick trip to Vancouver. I didn’t bother to bring my “big” camera since the trip didn’t lend itself to focusing on photography. That said, it’s difficult for me to avoid taking a photo or three.
Here are a few of the photos I ending up taking. I was pretty happy with how my trusty iPhone worked out in the city.

Prince George, early morning. Bokeh courtesy of the iPhone 4S. A little processing with the Camera+ app. I love having this camera in my pocket.

I just love what I can do with my phone.

I’ve been stuck in Av mode. I’m resolving to use M more this year. My trials so far have been positive so I’m excited for even more control over the outcome of my images.

The home of the Seattle Seahawks and another iPhone shot. I watched the Seahawks defeat the Ravens over the weekend. I made some photos with my 7D as well as my iPhone. I settled on this one as my favourite field shot. I liked the extra wide angle I got from the phone. I took some liberties with the Camera+ app, but I think it represents the feeling I experienced there the best.

First, it was late. I had forgotten my camera. I know, I don’t forget my camera. I stood in the way of traffic and held up my iPhone 4S and grabbed three shots. I edited the best one at Starbucks with the Camera+ app and the result is what you see here. This isn’t award winning. It’s a well photographed landmark, but the fact remains that I had left my 7D in the hotel and was able to come back with good looking images that can be posted and printed large. I still make the photograph but I have to acknowledge that advances in technology sure give the photographer a lot of options.
