Independence Fruitcake Festival

[ProCaliberTraveler]

I recently upgraded my iPhone 6 to an iPhone 15 Pro Max. So, what better way to test out a good camera than attending a low-light, Back to the Future themed fruitcake festival in Independence, CA on a windy Saturday evening?

I’m happy with how the phone camera performed in this kind of environment, but I’m still getting used to the new tech.

Remember when a cell phone was just a phone?

That said I see a nice example of why we say "dialing a number" at the top. Definitely the future ......

Welcome back from the Dark Ages Michael!

I will admit my journey was almost as slow as yours. I had the iPhone 6s but when the iPhone 11 Pro came out, I finally upgraded then. And last year I upgraded it to the 15 Pro Max. The iPhone 15 Pro Max does all of my video work. It's great at photography, I will switch between Live and Raw depending on the situation.

That's a great choice you made. It does take a little getting used to. On the surface one might think all you do with it is Point and Shoot, and it can be that simple. But as a photographer you will have options, like when is Live mode best, and when do you want to use Raw.

Not sure what you are using to edit, I use Photoshop Express on my phone for most of my editing.

Great first run here with the new camera.
