iPhone photography
Sunset in Branston
I have been working from home today and just noticed this sunset in time. I shot it using Pro HDR to increase the colour saturation and also to make the image a little darker. In Photogene2 I cropped it to a square frame to loose some uninteresting foreground and sky.

Today’s photo
I went for a short walk around the village today – to try out my iPhone 5 camera and to find a photo for today.
I managed to make at least one image every day during 2012 and I thought I would try something different for 2013, however it looks like I am hooked on getting something “on film” everyday – so it looks like I will try and do it again this year.
Last year the project was done with an iPhone 4 and most of the posts were edited and sent using the phone. This year I will be using an iPhone 5 – it has a better quality camera so I do plan to revisit some of last years shots to see if I can improve on them.

Shot from a lay-by on the A1 – using Pro HDR.

Really my last photo using my iPhone 4
I took one more photograph – some cake that Jeremy was about to eat!
This is really it – I have now cloned my iPhone 4 to my new iPhone 5.

Last photo on my iPhone 4
I am about to swap my phone over to an iPhone 5. So having used the iPhone 4 to both take the photos and post articles to my blog for the last two years – this is probably my last photo and post using it.
The phone has been reasonably reliable – except for the reoccurring speaker issue, so I have bought an AppleCare Plan with the new phone just in case I have a similar hardware problem. I have been pleased with the phone and after we get it serviced Diana is going to start using it.
Why change? I really wanted the better camera the iPhone 5 offers.
I am writing a series of articles for the Octagon website about changing and setting up an iPhone – read more here. and watch out for the first photo and blog post from my iPhone 5.

Sunrise on my way to work
This was taken using one of my favourite camera apps – Pro HDR. It does a spectacular job on landscapes/cityscapes balancing the high and low light regions in a frame. The ability to tweak saturation and warmth before saving the final image gives some good creative options to dramatically change an image.
