A Night Time Drive Though San Francisco



This is my second posting of the Apple billboards because I am totally fascinated and amazed by them. It seems these are images created by folks just like you and me. A blog friend passed on this WordPress post by a photographer of another one of the Billboards. See Brendan’s work Here.
All of my photos are shot on my humble iPhone 5s.
Tell me, which do you think creates a good image, the device or the eye of the photographer?

I love signs—always have—and your question is very appropriate. I believe that it is the eye of the photographer that makes a good photo, no matter what tool (camera/film/device) they happen to be using. Ω

Can’t agree with you more, Omega Man. I have been debating getting a DSLR camera with myself. Back when I had a Nikon F I stopped using it because I didn’t like luging it around. the iPhone is as close to having a camera strapped to my eyes as I can get. Gee, I do go on.

I know what you mean about smartphone vs DSLR. There are some beauties out there and for me it would be a premeditated act to have to round up all of the gear and accessories, then lug them around all day.
As it is, I laugh at myself when I “agonize” over whether I should take my Ollo Clip lens and a charger with me when I go out to take photos. Times change and human nature, not so much. Ω

Maybe if I go back to Nepal I’ll get one then I can have a Sherpa carry it. Oh that’s what husbands are for. Joke in our house.

Thanks for the link, Carol. I have seen some of his videos before. He makes some good points, but goes on & on a bit too much for me. I usually come back a second time and watch when I have more time to pay attention. Ω

I find it hard to capture anything when I am moving. 20 MPH? Good job!

I have also seen that ad campaign and have impressed me pictures of non – photographers theorists.
I totally agree that it is the photographer’s eye and not the devices that make use larger photo.

Great photos. I have a 5S and the camera is great -it makes a nice alternative to my camera – at least I have it on me most of the time.
