Kevin, it's amazing what the phone camera is capable of especially if you only intend to post the content online or share it for viewing on a phone or tablet. I took this shot in the fall up in East Deerfield MA hoping to catch a bit of the northern lights dancing that evening using Apple's night photo setting - not bad. You need a little imagination to see the colors in the cloud (best of the northern lights had passed) but I find it incredible how it picked up the stars and balanced the light highlighting the activity around the engines. A friend has a Samsung phone that produces images better than the iPhone. It's an ever changing world.
