Best Shot!

I took more than 800 pictures while I was in the UK, and, in a complete departure from days past, I only used my iPhone 5 to take them. While I took a digital camera along with me, I found that I never wanted or needed to use it. When I use my phone’s camera, I use the HDR setting. If you don’t know what that is, basically read this post I did about it. The setting I use saves both the original and HDR image, so I can pick and choose which is better, as the differences can be over-dramatic.

I went through my images and picked out the ones which I thought were the best. I hope you enjoy them!

No idea what this means, but it made me laugh!

Heading home

If you can stand a little more, I put together a little video of my trip.

Thanks for coming along on my travels with me!
