Apple released their new OS for the iPhone.

The thing that I’m most interested in is the updates to the camera.  While the iPhone camera is not the greatest, it is the one that’s with me all the time.  So that would make it the “best camera,” right!  Actually, it is not a bad camera.  It has limitations but that just means you have to be a little more creative to work within those limitations.

New updates:

  • Built-in 5x zoom.
  • Tap to focus video.
  • Faces & places support.

This is hardcore.  The thing to take away from this is not the specific equipment, brands, gear or any of that fancy stuff.  It is the process that is important. (Of course, if you want the specifics on the gear, he does list it all)  This can be done with any kind of gear, any brand, scaled up or down.  It has made me examine my own workflow and I realize that it contains many flaws and I have to ask myself “what if” questions.  If my house burned down, do I have a back up somewhere else?  Important question.

The End

Project 365 got the best of me.  For all those other 365 photogs out there, I commend you for sticking it out.  And for those who actually finish, bravo!

I hate making excuses, but when you work two jobs (one as a photographer), then get home, feed and bath the kids, spend some time with the family, etc, etc.   There were many times that my 365 photo had to wait until the very end of the day.  And there were many days when I just made a crappy photo just so I could say I did.  I didn’t like that I wasn’t presenting my best work.  And some days, it felt very forced.  Photography is a very organic process for me and I can’t just whip up something in 15 minutes. If I’m not enjoying it and I’m not giving it my best, then its time to quit.

Stay tuned though.  I have many more projects coming up that I will be posting.

Oh yeah, and about the photo: This was a 30 second night exposure on the beach in Gulf Shores.
