If you have ever stopped by my About the Photography page or seen my Canon Camera Review post you know that a lot of the pictures on the blog are taken with either a Canon or an iPhone. I wanted to compare similar photos that were taken from each device to give an idea of
In October of 2019 a new state park opened in Kansas: Little Jerusalem Badlands State Park. I knew that we would be going to Kansas in later December and this new park was top on my list of places to visit. The day we had the chance to visit was so very windy. In theory
