iPhone 6 Plus Pre-Ordered

Anyone who knows me knows that I am a huge Apple fan. Like millions around the world I never leave home without my iPhone, I would rather leave without my wallet. So the new iPhone 6 Plus will definitely be replacing my iPhone 5s, and finding a home in my pocket, hopefully it still fits with the much larger screen. I stood in line and pre-ordered mine along with all the other uber geeks, and hope to have one of the first ones available. If all goes well stay tuned for a review, especially on the new camera with optical image stabilization. I'll just ignore all the haters out there who love to use the derogatory term "fanboy", because to me Apple still makes some of the best products available today.

Digiscoping the Moonrise with an iPhone 5s.

Last night my daughter Summer and I broke out the telescope to view the full moon.  She ask me if she could photograph what we were seeing through the eyepiece so she could post it on Instagram.  We took turns with our iPhones snapping away and this is what we came up with.  Best part was the quality time I got to spend with my daughter, priceless.

Washed up Puffer

Found this little guy this afternoon while walking on the beach with my daughter. He's missing his tail but still looked kind of cool.

MPro - A B&W iPhone App

Like many photographers I shoot my fair share of photos with my iPhone but to get the black and white look that I like in the past I've always had to post process the image in Snapseed or other editing app.​  While I do love Snapseed it is an extra step and MPro seems to have solved this for me.  MPro is a monochrome photo app that shoots only in black and white.  In fact it saves in greyscale rather than RGB which results in a different black and white look that I like.  In addition to that it has an onscreen contrast slider to add contrast to the image with real time feedback on the screen before you even take the shot.  Sweet!  Right? Oh and it's only 99 cents. Here's the link to the app on the iTunes store.
