My iPhone Photography Beginning - September 2010 iPhone 4s

Unedited ProHDR Image from 2010 

My AH HA moment

I have been going through several old hard drives looking for images to put on Dropbox so I can access all my iPhone photos in one place, when I came across this photo. iPhone 4s - Sept 2010

The scene:
I am in New Hampshire at a photo workshop with my Nikon camera when John Barclay informs me of an app called ProHDR that I must install on my iPhone. Ok I think, I'll give it a try. Then a fellow student Dan let's me borrow his iPhone holder for a tripod. (crazy looking thing).
As you see by the photo it is a gorgeous day. I set up my iPhone Camera next to the shore of this river, opened the app ProHDR, tapped the button, watched the screen saying 'calculating, hold still' and then a few seconds later this incredible HDR processed image appears on my screen.
For the next several months (embarrassing to think back on sometimes) I was a crazy girl, thrusting the iPhone in anyone's face that was nearby to show them my latest photo and exclaim 'WOW, look at this, amazing, it was taken with an iPhone, can you believe it?" I was hooked and became know as the App Queen as I absorbed everything iPhone Photography.
What a great journey it has been. 
I must also mention Harry Sandler as he is my gracious mentor and friend that guides me to learn so much about photography.
There are many others that influence and inspire - a few include: Lynette Sheppard, Karen Messick, Dewitt Jones, Laura Peischl, Bobbi McMurry, Helen Breznik, Dan Burkholder

Delaware Coast

Back in October when I was on my six week photographic adventure, I posted on Facebook that I had some unplanned time while I was in the Philadelphia area. I was honored that so many of my friends sent me suggestions of what to do and see in the area. 

A friend that I hadn't met yet said she was going to be staying at her beach house in Delaware for the weekend and I was invited if I would like to come. Well, I thought about it for about a second and responded, "I'll be there."

Karen Messick, was very kind not only to invite me to stay with her but she also showed me many of the local sights where we had great photographic opportunities.  During our time together I also got to share my passion of shooting with the iPhone with Karen but at the time she was strictly a 'big girl camera shooter'. 

Since then Karen has joined the iPhoneography craze and a very inspiring Facebook group I started. She became a great student of the iPhoneography apps. Please visit her blog to see why her work is very inspiring to me.

Today's image was taken along the Delaware coast looking inland. I think we were at the Delaware Seashore State Park. It was one of those incredible endings to a wonderful day.
