First Fridays catch-up #2 – iPhone Drum Circle Tests

Oct 8, 2021

It actually did pretty good, good enough to possibly leave the normal camera lens home in lieu of carrying it int my pocket for when I might need it (the 75-300 or 85-210) are my primaries. The phone’s ultra-wide has all the distortion I feared, although in some circumstances the effect could be kinda cool. I’m not sure about here. I used it as the intro anyway because, in spite of flaws, it does capture a moment.
