iPhone Bokeh Sometimes I pull out my cell phone to capture a shot, either to take advantage of the depth of field, to capture a simple panorama with no extra steps, to use a fish eye or macro lens in my pocket, or simply to record a place, thing or moment conveniently without having to get out a DSLR.   My iPhone 5S has been close to full for months now, so I can either clear out many of the images and videos, or I can (delete them all and) trade up to an iPhone 6+.  I've been very impressed with the photos I've taken on Lori Hibbett 's 6+, but I'm close enough now though to whatever might come out from Apple in the Fall, either a 6S or 7, that the other possibility is waiting for something even better.    #bokeh   #iphoneography   #iphone5s   #landscapephotography

Looking Back at the iPhone 5S Sometimes I pull out my cell phone to capture a shot, either to take advantage of the depth of field, to capture a simple panorama with no extra steps, to use a fish eye or macro lens, or simply to record a place, thing or moment conveniently without having to get out a DSLR.  My iPhone 5S has been close to full for a few months now, so I can either clear out many of the images and videos, or I can (delete them all and) trade up to an iPhone 6.  I'm looking into reviews to see if the camera quality is all that much better, and I'll write a blog post on what I decide and why. www.activesole.blogspot.com #iphoneography   #iphone5s   #landscapephotography
