These photos were taken today using the iPhone 12 in RAW mode. I have two photo applications on the phone, one is the stock app that comes with the phone, and the other is called Pro Camera. The latter offers you far more control over your photos and is the application that I use the most.
RAW outputs a larger file size. The Nikon files were around 50 megabytes which is really huge! You can see that one photo is 1500×844 or a 16-9 ratio, while the other is 1500×1125 making it look more square.
I’ve been chatting with a fellow photographer down in California about using the iPhone for photography more so than the big body cameras. I think this is possible, but then the Sony and Nikon cameras always have a slight edge over using the iPhone as your primary camera in overall image quality.
The iPhone falls flat and pixelates to death when I try to capture extremely distant subjects such as the Las Vegas Strip from my favorite place to photograph it which is several miles northwest. What to do haha!
It looks so cool and fresh, hard to believe you’re so close to the desert. What’s the body of water?
Nice layout of the photos. The homes remind me of the golf course side across the way from our area. Spanish hacienda, beautiful old homes and oak trees. We are near a very old part of town where they had orange groves and near water.
Thank you so much! Are those the Live Oak trees? My sister had a home with those, she said they make a big mess with leaf droppings.
Some are live, water and some are grandfather oaks. Most are water oaks. Temple Terrace.
Love the shots as always. Part of me would love to have a water source closer, but then I remember all the rain we’ve had and I’ll just be happy with the small pond down the hill.
Home flooding sucks, my home in 1993 remembered down in Florida. The pond is good!
Nice clouds and reflections
Thanks, Derrick! I never get tired of Las Vegas, it’s a wonderful place to live in spite of the traffic!
Lovely pic, It looks magnificently warm compared to here today! Rainy and windy.
Thank you, Tone! It was 89F here today.
Lovely John.
