Nice evening light at Strasburg gave me an opportunity to test the camera on my new iPhone 13.
I needed a new phone for a variety of reasons. I think there were about four technology museum’s bidding on my old phone!
Anyway, I made a pair similar photos of a favorite EMD switcher at the Strasburg Rail Road that has been undergoing a restoration for a number of years.
The first photo (and enlarged headlight) were made with the iPhone. The second photo (and enlarged headlight) were exposed using my Lumix LX7 in RAW format.
In both instances I attempted to capture the most amount of data as possible with each imaging system.
Both photos display a variety of artifacts. Neither is perfect.
More comparison is necessary before I draw any firm conclusions, however I’ll keep my Lumix, but I won’t heistate to make grab photos with the iPhone either. In practice, my Nikon Z cameras will continue to be the busiest picture making machines that I own.
