Exuma Cays - The Bahamas
iPhone 6 Plus, 645 Pro App, Embraer E170

This is a 4 vertical frame stitched image from 4 shots taken about 10 seconds apart as we were approaching Great Exuma in the Bahamas using the High Quality image capture setting in the 645 Pro App which captures a TIF file off of the iPhone sensor without JPEG compression.  Post processed for contrast and micro-detail in Cature One Pro 9 and merged with PTGUI.  The colors are real.  Great Exuma is partially surrounded by a corral barrier reef that the ocean erodes away leaving microscopic particles of coral in the water and this results in colors similar to what glacial silt can do to some glacial lakes.

Please click on the image to see it full size against a darker background as the resized view has significantly softened the image.

It's a great app because it gives you complete control of the iPhone camera including ISO, shutter speed, tone curve, compression level, aspect ratio and more.

With an image of this quality all you need to take with you on future trips is your IPhone.  

That makes packing and carrying gear a whole lot easier!!   :P

Wonderful image E.J.!
