Images Taken With iPhone 6, & iPad & iPhone 12

With some basic Photoshop skills & a little patience I can manually enhance low-res images taken with my old iPhones with an old version of Photoshop CS (8). The iPhone 17 ProMax has some advanced features such as 8x optical zoom, however, the Sony DSC-HX50 & HX60 pocket cameras listed above have 30x optical zoom. I still prefer to carry a pocket superzoom camera, in addition to my iPhone, for amazing, hand-held telephoto images.

Disclaimer: Wayne's Word resided at Palomar College for the past 25 years; however, Palomar now uses Word Press and no longer supports static html web sites. As a public institution, Palomar websites must also be ADA compliant for students with disabilities. The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) applies to state and local governments (Title II) and businesses that are open to the public (Title III). The vast majority of private websites are not ADA compliant.

Since Wayne's Word now resides on a case-sensitive UNIX server at Network Solutions, some image files need to be case-corrected in order to display. With 15,000 image files & 1735 html files this takes a while! Wayne's Word loads quickly & displays fine on laptops & computer monitors. The text may be too small on smart phones, but images are excellent. It was originally designed for projection on classroom screens for my Biology & Botany classes at Palomar College & community lectures. It even loads & projects offline from an SD card or flash drive. The entire website occupies only 2.6 Gigs & fits on a 4 Gig SD card with 1.4 Gigs of free space! It is especially useful for lecture presentations without internet connectivity.

iPhone 6

The following images were taken with a new iPhone 6 out of the box with no additional apps installed. The images were not cropped, with only minimal enhancements (borders and slight sharpening). Internal (bulilt in light source) was turned off. The landscape and macro images are quite good; however, there is only one f-stop: f 2.2. As of 13 Dec. 2014, there are undoubtedly apps that will enhance its default photo capabilities. The iPhone 6 is a remarkable smart phone, but in my opinion it does not replace the Sony DSC-HX20V or Sony DSC-HX50V that I carry on my belt. My overall conclusions may change as newer models of iPhones are released. Note: The f-stop, shutter speed and ISO information below each image are from the original JPEG files using Photoshop CS.

The glorious beetle (Plusiotis gloriosa), one of the most beautiful beetles in North America. It belongs to the large and very diverse family Scarabaeidae, along with June beetles, rain beetles and rhinoceros beetles. Adults feed on juniper foliage in the southwestern United States (Texas to Arizona and northern Mexico). Their striking color actually serves as camouflage by blending in with the native vegetation. The U.S. Penny is 19 mm in diameter.

An iPhone image at Ralphs Supermarket in Twin Oaks Valley, San Marcos, CA: Different stages of ripeness in bell peppers. You actually get different vitamins as your bell peppers change color! In addition to their unique colors, each differently hued bell pepper has a unique array of nutritional benefits. Green peppers feature an abundance of chlorophyll. Yellow peppers have more of the lutein and zeaxanthin carotenoids. Orange peppers have more alpha-, beta-, and gamma-carotene. Red peppers have more lycopene and astaxanthin, two other important carotenoids.

Orb Weaver In Tightly Woven Web At Wayne's Word

Neoscona crucifera: It took her over 2 hours to build this perfect web. At 6:00 AM the following morning it was completely torn apart. The orb was suspended by threads between my roof and nearby tree, a truly remarkable task. The light source was a handheld flashlight.

Note: Sony DSC-HX60V image with external flash is slightly sharper. See Following Image:
