Women with an Umbrella

Women with an Umbrella. A women walks across a square between two buildings on Duke Street in Alexandria, VA. Shot with an iPhone 3GS.

I was in Alexandria for meeting and it was one of those scenes that make you wish you had brought a camera. I just got an iPhone and thought I'd take the opportunity to experiment with the camera. I made some adjustments for contrast, highlight recovery, color vibrancy and sharpening to the iPhone image. I'm pretty pleased with the results. I think it's kind of neat.
