It's been a while since I picked up a camera to do non documentary work. One of my New Year's resolutions was to shoot more for myself. I was walking in Duke Forest near Cassilhaus a few weeks ago and I remembered reading in David Pogue's iPhone book that the shutter release on an iPhone camera happens when you release the button rather than when you press it--the theory being you will have less camera movement. It was getting close to dusk and I started playing with holding the button and releasing while wildly moving my arm in various directions. I got totally absorbed and was loving what I was getting and before I knew it my battery was dead and it was almost completely dark and I was a good 10 minutes from civilization. I managed to stumble my way to the trailhead and downloaded these when I got home.
