iPhone Camera Bug

Every now and again when I first turn on the camera and take a picture, it turns out like this. It only happens on the first shot and it doesn’t happen every time. Anyone else have this problem?

As I was driving around last week I saw some trees that I thought would make a good picture, but I didn’t have the camera with me. So last Saturday I grabbed the kids and the camera and headed out. I wasn’t going to make a day of it, just grab a couple of shots and be done. It’s been a while since I’ve been behind the lens. I’m a little rusty but I managed to remember to check the basics. I was going handheld on these so I checked that Autofocus and Images Stabilization were on. I wanted Aperature Priority, so I checked that it was set, checked the ISO (which I usually forget) which wasn’t right so I fixed it. Took 3 shots and headed back home. When I got the pictures loaded on the computer I realized immediately that while I did check that Aperature Priority was set, I had completely forgotten to look and see what it was set to. Needless to say, landscape pictures don’t turn out to well if only a small portion of the picture is in focus, unless that is the “artistic expression” you are going for, which I wasn’t. So I’ll be heading out again soon to reshoot. I’m just glad that these weren’t “important” shots or somewhere that I’d had to drive to for hours.
Capitol Building - SLC, Utah

I’ve been slacking on my plan to take and post pictures, so here’s the first one towards getting me in the habit. I was in Salt Lake City last week and grabbed some lunch at a drive through. I drove up by the capitol building to find a peaceful place to eat in the car, but while I was there I figured that this would make a good picture.
