Marsh by the Mousam<\/h4>\n

This is another iPhone HDR using the Pro HDR app. Two exposures, tap, tap, one for the sky and one for the foreground, auto processed in the app. Slight adjustment: horizon straightening, levels, and contrast\u2026red channel pulled back a bit\u2026in PhotoGene on the iPhone, then uploaded to Wide Eyed In Wonder (SmugMug) using SmugShot. Could not be easier. Everything was done right there in the field at the time, with the scene before me. Though it is not an intentional  feature<\/em> of the Pro HDR app, selecting exposure areas in the sky and background also alters the iPhone camera\u2019s focus point, which makes for a processed image that is sharp, as here, from immediate foreground to to the distant clouds. Like I have said before\u2026I really<\/em> wish my Canon SX20IS could do this!! (And there is absolutely NO reason it could not\u2026it is just software.)<\/p>\n

As far as the shot itself goes\u2026well it has just about everything going for it. Glorious sky, reflections in still water, strong horizon with the mass of houses leading in on the left, wonderful detail and interesting texture in the swirling marsh grasses, subtle effective color tones throughout\u2026even that bit of stump sticking up to anchor the eye in the foreground. Add the HDR effect and you get a photograph that strikes the eye like the best landscape painting\u2026in the sense that we are not used to seeing this kind of range in a photograph. <\/p>\n

It almost makes me laugh out loud when I remember that it was produced completely on the iPhone 4! Who could have imagined it?<\/p>\n

From iPhone 4 HDR and Panos<\/a>. <\/p>\n
