The Simple Life

The fam took a short trip to Shaker Village at Pleasant Hill, Kentucky yesterday. It’s always a beautiful place, but the dark, gray day wasn’t particularly inspiring me to shoot. So, out pops the iPhone to play around a bit. I imagine I looked kinda odd with a 2700-dollar 5D Mark II hanging on my shoulder yet walking around shooting all my photos with my cell phone. Apply the Camera Bag app Magazine filter and voila – instant gratification.

At the end of our day, we took an hour-long ride on the Dixie Belle paddleboat – something I have never done before. The leaves were only just now starting to turn and the dark overcast skies weren’t helping the color much. I pulled out the 10D I had converted to infrared and shot a few frames as we floated down the river.

After the boat ride, we spotted a nice waterfall only a short walk from the parking lot. The photo below is from 23 iPhone photos and was stitched together in the phone with the AutoStitch app.
