Member’s Gallery (Digital, In Person) – iPhone Photography: The Things You See! with Greg Smith
April 22 @ 7:45 pm – 8:00 pm
Description:
With his iPhones, Greg Smith has often captured spur-of-the-moment events, but also taken landscapes, portraits, and anything else that is picture worthy. And quite a bit that is not. Greg has found that often the iPhone’s camera settings are excellent as far as the image capture and has used native and Lightroom apps for editing his pictures. With the iPhone Pro model, he recently learned from NVPS members that he could even take RAW photos.
Greg enjoys photographing whatever he happens upon, primarily birds and landscapes, and street photography when afforded the opportunity. As he and Gitta travel around the country in their RV trailer, he has found that taking a quick iPhone picture from the same vantage point as the pictures they took with their Nikons, Greg is able to capture the location and have it on a map, making remembering where they took all the pictures much easier. They have taken multiple trips to Denver, the Grand Tetons, Yellowstone, and Acadia National Parks, lots of State Parks, and many stops in between and along the way. Yes, you can use the GPS function with your camera, but Greg thinks the iPhone has made it even easier.
Bio:
Greg Smith became interested in photography from an early age when watching his father, taking many pictures throughout their many family travels. His dad always considered angles and framed the subjects when he could, describing what and why as he did so. Greg got his first SLR, a Minolta, prior to deploying to the Mediterranean with the Marines, knowing there would be ample opportunities for pictures. However, it was when attempting to take a picture of the Duomo in Florence, Italy that he realized he needed a wide-angle zoom, as he had to take the picture from three blocks away to get it all in! Many years of photography have followed. Greg shoots primarily with his Nikon D750, but he has a great camera in his pocket all the time – his iPhone!
