Hey Morkel,

You know...I've often said that most "normal" people should just use their smartphones rather than buying DSLR's...and this kind of proves it! Assuming you used the auto HDR function?

So...which model? I have the 5s and apparently it has a much better camera in it...tho' I can't say I have ever used the camera on ANY smartphone I've used.

Cheers...

Brad

iMara :biggrin: Love the shot. I don't think I use my iPhone cam much, but a nice little collection of images has amassed over the years.....including a gallery I call 'tribal selfies', those are fun.

A pity you did not use your real gear! I agree with brighter foreground and would have preferred no clipped animals on the edges. A great scene.

Thanks for your comments, folks.
I try to take photos with my phone on safari, if only for Instagram sharing later.
I did use my real cameras too :wink:
