What do YOU think? {Los Angeles Photographer}

October 13, 2011

I visited The Getty Center with my visiting parents today and I will say, it is a very impressive spot.  If you ever find yourself on a trip to L.A. you should put it on your must-do list!  The architecture and grounds alone are an impressive display of art, and that’s before you even head to the countless galleries of works displayed inside.

While walking the grounds, despite it being non-picture friendly high-noon direct sunlight, I just had to take some pictures.  Of course I had my pro gear with me, but I snapped a few pictures with my iphone, too.  You just can’t beat the convenience of instantly having an image to send to a friend or post to facebook.  When I was going through my images after getting home, I realized that I had two shots, from the same vantage point, one taken with my nearly $5,000 professional body/lens combo and one taken with my $200 phone camera.

Can you tell which is which?

(no fair checking the efix data for the pictures, either, this is just for fun. . . no prizes for a right answer, just a little friendly conversation!)

    I agree with Heather, I think the bottom one is the phone photo because it’s a bit darker.

    i agree, i think the bottom one is the phone…the top one looks like a wider angled lens was used. Your phone does an awesome job!

    I LOVE the Getty museum. I have been there several times and hope to go more in the future!
    I agree, the top one looks brighter and richer, so I think the bottom is the cell phone shot.
