It was a beautiful winter evening in Ventura, CA a few years ago and I was relaxing after a long day of ass-sitting (attending a conference). As I walked along the beach pondering my ass numbing existence, I noticed that all of the cliched elements of a terrific sunset photograph were present before me: a lovely orange, blue, and pink sky; the moon; a couple of sea birds flying near the horizon; and Catalina Island. Naturally, I had left my Canon 6D (the first digital camera I was ever very fond of) in the hotel room and was only armed with an iPhone. It was the perfect tool for capturing this sort of photograph.
