I am a big proponent of using the camera you have with you. Nine times out of ten, this is your phone. I don’t carry around a point and shoot or DLSR every day. I used to, but now the phone is as good if not better than most point and shoot cameras.
On my personal Instagram, I started a project called My Awesome Pics. It’s a little tongue and cheek because I think I do a good job at photography, and when I edited them, I went, “These are awesome pics.” I have used my iPhones and DLSR camera to make this series. However, in this post, I’m going to feature the pictures taken with my iPhone 5, 6, and 8 Plus.
I edited the pics with either Skylars Luminar 3 on the Mac or PixelmatorPhoto on the iPad. These are all the basic default auto settings. Occasionally I have used PixelmatorPro to remove power lines and other obstructions.
