Pano+iPhone 4.0

Another opportunity to show off what the tools can do when you take the time. Here, I'm using the iPhone 4.0 camera plus the app Pano to make an awesome low-light shot of Jackson Square in New Orleans for our blog. Above is the original, which needed some edit down to fit in our 16x9 window on the blog. Sure, our standard photographer Wesley could have gotten something better (and it would have been gorgeous with his Nikons and poster quality), but think in terms of web presentation -- more than adequate.

I'm quite pleased with the way the phone and the app handled the low light. The shot was at 4:45 just before the park closed, and dusk was already falling inside the square. But as you an see, the cathedral was still catching sunset light from over the French Quarter. This is one of my favorite travel shots of the Sugar Bowl trip, and to have done it with my phone is pretty impressive.
