comparison of old and new phone

These pictures were taken with the old phone looking south towards NYC

No Zoom



I think this was the maximum Zoom I could get with the old camera



This is the Zoom I can get to the Manhattan skyline from the same park with the new camera


This was a zoom to a deer in the woods with the new camera.  You can see the deer quite clearly.  He would have been much smaller or blurrier with the old camera.  I should have tried a no zoom version


This is a demo of the new iphone cleanup feature.  First we have the before picture


This is the after picture.  You can see that cleanup was pretty good at removing the umbrellas, the strung lights, and the car -- but not so good at removing the power lines amongst the trees.


This is another demo of the cleanup feature.  You'll notice some sun glare in the bottom right of the photo


After cleanup, the sun glare is mostly gone, but there is some residual orangy color



One of the things that most frustrated me with the prior cell phone cameras was the way lights came out.  Especially colored lights looked wrong, because their centers would come out white.  Both of the pictures below were taken with the new phone.  The first one was without adjusting the exposure.  There is still a bit of white at the center of the colored lights



Here I lowered the exposure, while taking the picture, and the white centers of the colored lights disappeared; however some of the background, which I could see with my eyes, disappeared also.



One of my biggest frustrations with the old camera was taking pictures of the lights on our bridge. The new bridge was first called "Mario M Cuomo Bridge" in memory of a past governor.  The local community did not like this name. I heard we might have been successful in changing it back to the Tappan Zee Bridge.  The word "Tappan" referred to the Tappan Indians

 I feel like the new camera is better at capturing what I'm actually seeing with my eyes.
