B\u00e9lem Tower at Sunset. Shot on an iPhone 5 and unprocessed.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

A nice sunset was forming as I made my way towards the B\u00e9lem Tower in Lisbon, Portugal after shooting the\u00a0Sacadura Cabral and Gago Coutinho Monument<\/a>. Ever since I got the iPhone 4, I always like to take a shot on the iPhone in addition to taking a few on my \u201creal\u201d camera, a Nikon D7000. By doing so, I also get the advantage of recording the location of the photos I take by referencing the GPS data from the iPhone shots. It also allows me to post the photo to the various social networking sites like Facebook and Instagram once I have an internet connection.<\/p>\n

In this case, after taking a couple of shots on my iPhone and being happy with the results, I proceeded to shoot the same scene on my D7000 and AF-S 12-24mm lens. I took a few shots, briefly checked the LCD for exposure and moved on. I didn’t zoom in as I didn’t think that the camera would have trouble capturing that scene in focus with a shutter speed of something like 1\/60.<\/p>\n

To my dismay, when I finally checked the whole series of shots back in the hotel on my Macbook Air which I have brought along, they were all out of focus. In fact, I couldn’t find the point where the camera had focussed on. Strangely, shots before and after that were perfectly fine. So it must have been some random fluke.<\/p>\n

So, the only good shot of that scene is the one on my iPhone. It’s a little noisy of course, but it’s better than nothing. A real camera does not necessarily produce a better photo than a smartphone camera. Sometimes, the simpler device may just get you the shot that you wanted.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
