I have the 6s+. I'm never overly impressed with the camera most times, although I am always glad to have it over nothing, but it does seem to have some voodoo magic for sunsets. It's also a bit hard to compare because the focal lengths of some of my comparison shots are vastly different, which also adds to the confusion (the wide angle of the phone vs an 85mm lensbaby). Oh well. Good thing I actually like editing.

I don't share a lot of the photos I take with my iPhone - because most are not nearly the 'quality' of the ones from my Sony. There are still a lot of limiting factors with smart phone cameras. Mostly my own shaky hands and low light limitations.....
Thanks , You'd have a ball exploring Death Valley . Not a whole lot of people , giant amounts of open spaces , continuously changing light .
Utah , New Mexico , Arizona , Nevada , the whole U.S. Southwest is one giant magnet if you're a landscape photographer .
A proper photo from my D800. I managed to find a phone and a 26mm D800 with relatively the same field of view and worked at matching the D800 exposure/editing to the phone JPEG. In the end I was more pleased with the D800 image (thank goodness) and it gave me some ideas for processing other sunset photos. I have to add contrast completely differently than I would for a normally lit image. This is not that image, but processed somewhat similarly. I just wanted to convey them playing in the sunset (although in reality they were running to the house to get away from the horrible noseeums that were devouring us).
Heading back in November! planning my trip now. I have our annual kickoff in vegas first week of November so planning personal time either side for a road trip with the camera. Loved it last year!

mwuah ha ha ha ha ha ha..... yeah, no, nothing....
I'd love to go, but I think it will probably be later in life for me
There is so much in the US that I'd love time to visit with my camera. Those states especially.
Any space in your suitcase?
Another macro I took yesterday with macro lens, achromat + closeup (+5 in total) @ F13.

Oh, thanks for calling me out on this
They're most probably thistles, growing right next to genuine teasels !
Here's an article that explains the confusion - http://www.botanicalaccuracy.com/2014/01/teasels-tousled-with-thistles.html
I will rename the photo sometime (and all my backups
)Cheers

Lol... Yeah sorry about that... Lets just say a thistle photobombed your teasel... It was teasing you...

This is stunning! I long to be able to capture images like this.I use the same settings here as I do for Facebook and other websites. I have a preset in LR that sets the long edge to 900px and the resolution at 100PPi. I also have Sharpen for Screen set to YES.
Here is another sunset photo. I'm more than a little annoyed that this is from my phone and nearly perfect to what I saw that evening (as are all the other sunset/phone photos) and my RAW images from my D700 and D800 all have to be highly processed.

Yes, I've posted a few here from my phone that came out pretty well.Use your phone! This is SOOC from my iPhone, other than cropping.
A frame from a video of a screen recording of an iPhone inside of a pinhole camera box:
I'm preparing for the eclipse and found a the pinhole camera I made in high school Intro to Physics. Here's the photo I was taking in theselfie self portrait above:
I couldn't remotely trigger the shutter in the app I was using (the default iOS camera app doesn't allow for manual adjustment of focus, aperture, and ISO, which I really needed), so I opted to use the screen recording feature in QuickTime.

Well . That didn't work out so good .Spur of the moment shot of the partial eclipse near NYC . Shot with a 7D2 , 50 1.8@f8 . 1/250 , ISO 2500 . Piece of #12 welding glass taped over the lens . Camera on a mini tripod on the roof of my car , took a bunch of shots at varying ISO's and exposures . The clouds kept coming over so everything was even more hit and miss than usual .

Thanks .... If I was in the path of totality , I would have done it properly . As it stood today , I was working in the yard and the light started to get a bit strange . Checked out the sky with a welding mask and , sure enough , something was eating the Sun . I used the 50 because the glass I had had been cut to fit into a pair of goggles years ago that were around 52mm so the glass fit into the front of the lens . You will , no doubt , be pleased to know that the glass was held to the lens by Scotch tape . Worked well but the welding glass is certainly NOT optically pure , multicoated stuff . All kinds of artifacts and reflections in some of the shots .. Anyway , I just winged exposures and ISO's .I plan on being around for the next one in 2024 , the path of totality will be a lot closer to me then , plus I've got family in upstate NY I can leech off if they're still around .I'll do that one right.
