iPhonography again. Just a quick one with some iPhone shots from the Ganesh Chaturthi procession in Mumbai this last Sunday.

I have recently come back from a visit to Ladakh where I was traveling with my daughter Liah for ten days. I wrote a whole post about this trip and posted some of the images I shot there with the iPhone camera (see the post HERE). There was one particular image that I took on [...]
