iPhone Panorama Photography

Now days every one has a smart phone of some description.

 The cameras on the smart phones are getting more and more advanced to the point where amazing photographs are more likely to be taken using mobile phones instead of a camera...there are even photo comps for mobile phone taken photographs.

I love taking panoramas and when I went to Canada in 2009 I used my iPhone and a couple of stitching apps to take the photos below.  Once I had stitched these I opened them in Photoshop and adjusted the light, contrast etc.

Enjoy these and in the future I'll post some more.

Tigers



 One of my favorite animals to photograph are tigers.

 Today I'm posting a couple of photos I've at various zoo, the top photo was  taken at Australia Zoo in Queensland and the bottom two were taken at the Melbourne Zoo.

Enjoy and I'll see you next week.

Banff

If I could live any where in the world I think I'd pick Banff, Canada. When I went there in 2009 I was hoping to see snow covered mountains and clear blue lakes...it delivered but only better.

I stayed in Banff for 4 days however I should have stayed longer.  The Rockie mountains were mind blowing in their size and stature and the lakes were sunning in their colors that change as the light changes...just talking about this makes me want to go back...

I've blogged a few photos from my trip, these were taken with a small compact camera I had at the time.

Enjoy and I'll see you next week.

Chicago

Chicago is one of the USA's hidden secrets. It's old school architecture is amazing and city park land is spectacular. It completely caught me off guard for what I was expecting and not expecting...

As a baseball fan one of my favorite things it to visit new baseball stadiums and Wrigley Fields was amazing...although the Cubs lost. Wrigley Fields is over 100 years old and has none of the modern features of other stadiums but that's what makes it so special.

If you ever get the opportunity to visit do so it's worth it.

See you next week.

Squirrels

As a visitor to the USA one of the most intriguing things I found were the Squirrels. 

Every where we went, there were hundreds of these little creatures bouncing around parks and grassland.  Anyway here are a few photos I took.  

Enjoy and I'll see you next week!

USS Midway

San Diego is the home of a floating aircraft carrier museum, the USS Midway. I've been to the Uss Midway twice and taken some great photographs. There are amazing photo opportunities all over the massive ship, from the hallways and rooms below the decks to the runways with the jets and helicopters. 

I've posted some of my photos I took on my last visit. 

Enjoy and I'll see you next week.
