iphone action: photo J week 10

Although instagram has attempted to make iphone photography an art, the thought of taking a nice picture with an iphone seemed doubtful at first. Without the ability to adjust shutter speed, ISO, and focus, timing and lighting became key players. I discovered for action shots, that the easiest way to freeze motion was to press the photo button before the action occurred and wait to release it until the last possible moment. In this case, my friend's younger brother happens to be a little stuntster which made attempting a few shots very easy. The mid-day sun created a nice shadow below the subject.
