More Apple iPhone 12 Pro Max photography
So that fiancée and I decided to go for a drive down to Brockville, ON this past weekend. It’s one of our favourite places to go as the city is small and it has a lot of parks. Brockville, ON is located on the St. Lawrence Seaway. Across the river is New York State which you can see in the above photo. I keep using the Apple iPhone 12 Pro Max with 512GB internal hard drive.
I edit all my photography on the 2018 Apple iPad Pro. Apple is supposed to come out with a brand new iPad Pro this year. Hopefully it’ll come out in March. I’m thinking of upgrading the iPad Pro since my current iPad Pro is 3 years old now. I upgrade my equipment every 3 years with the exception of the iPhone which is every 2 years. But I think I’ll be keeping the iPhone 12 Pro Max for 3-4 years. We shall see what Apple does. If they release a new iPad Pro this year. I prefer the 12.9” version. I’ll probably get the 12.9” version with the 1TB hard drive.

IOS 14.3 and ProRaw photography
Cold and windy outside. High of just minus thirteen degrees Celsius today. Took a few quick shots of the Air and Space museum located in Ottawa today. I used the Apple iPhone 12 Pro Max using iOS 14.3. This is the baked in app on the iPhone. Shot with the Camera app using the ProRaw option. Absolutely love doing photography just with the iPhone. No lugging around a camera body and huge lens. The ability to shoot in Raw natively in the Camera app on the iPhone is very freeing. Today was windy and cold. Lasted maybe a few minutes outside.
All I need now for my landscape photography is my iPhone 12 Pro Max and iPad Pro.

It has started
So yesterday I grabbed my tripod and my newly acquired Apple iPhone 12 Pro Max with the 512GB of internal storage and went out for a short photo walk. I photographed the Parliament buildings, the Supreme Court of Canada building and the National Arts Centre. On my way back to the parking garage, I caught the above shot. The building is part of the World Exchange Plaza located in downtown Ottawa. Yesterday was a cool and brisk day. I think the high was around -4 degrees Celsius with some wind. I am totally impressed with the quality of the camera on the Apple iPhone 12 Pro Max. The HDR photos and video are simply stunning. This photo was taken at about 3:30pm with a setting sun in the west. I think today is supposed to be the same in the afternoon so I’ll just go around the Ottawa downtown core and just do some handheld photography with the iPhone 12 Pro Max.
The video sizes are simply immense coming from the iPhone 12 Pro Max. On Saturday, the fiancee and I went up for drive up to the Ottawa Valley. I decided to use the Filmic Pro app on my iPhone and do a whole video of driving from Arnprior to Ottawa. The 50 or so minute drive was about a 50GB file. This is the reason I got the 512GB storage option on the iPhone. It also took a while to Airdrop the file from the iPhone to my iPad Pro. The iPad Pro handled the 50GB HDR video file a champ. It’s on my YouTube channel if you want to check it out. Here is the link.

My only setup for now

New Apple keyboard for the 2018 Apple iPad Pro 12.9”
I received my the new 2020 Apple Keyboard for my 2018 Apple iPad Pro 12.9” iPad Pro. I have to say that the 2018 Apple iPad Pro 12.9” with the 512GB hard drive IS a laptop replacement. Typing is simply incredible on the keyboard. It is more tactile with the key travel being a lot better than with the keyboard folio made by Apple. I’ve had the 2018 Apple iPad Pro for over a year now and I can now say, with the new keyboard, I am never going back to a Windows or Mac OS X based laptop or desktop. As a photographer, this iPad Pro is a beast. There is not much difference as far as horsepower goes between the 2018 and 2020 iPad Pros. From what I hear, the 2020 iPad Pro is only 1% faster than the 2018 iPad Pro. The only reasons I’d upgrade to the 2020 iPad Pro is if I bought the 1TB version for the extra 500GB of space and the extra 2GB in memory. But with the iPadOS being so efficient with the memory use, there is no point in having 6GB of RAM.

More photography with the Apple iPhone 11 Pro Max
I was still going into work last week when I got this photo of an ambulance picking up a patient in downtown Ottawa. How things have changed in a week. I’m off of work indefinitely. Thankfully I have my Sony a7R II and my Sony f3.5-6.3 24-240MM lens. I also have my Apple iPhone Pro Max. My two favourite cameras to date. I’m doing conference calls at certain points of the week and doing photography after. One of my accounts at SSC is not set up properly so I cannot login via VPN. Hopefully tomorrow it’ll be fixed. I may actually go into work a few times next week just to check on emails and such. I went today and there was actually one person working.
