Another Photog in the First Fam

It’s another one of those mornings when I have a long batting list and not enough time in the game to even have a single at-bat–except to post an image that belongs to my daughter.

It was on the strength–literally–of this experience that she went out and got a “real” camera. This shot was taken with her iPhone, and I did some minor work on it in Photoshop.

I think the photography bug has bitten, and there is now one more landscape photog in South Dakota. And I think this is great.

  1. Extraordinary what you can do with the iPhone, and I recently discovered that several lens attachments are available for it, as well. While the iPhone may offer less control, that is still one heck of a shot. Of course, the landscape doesn’t hurt either. Hope we get to see some of your daughter’s real camera photos. 🙂
