you know how pictures are, depends whether is it sunny, clouds, which direction the sun is, where it is in the sky, etc etc. I usually carry another camera with me, but just has the phone with me, I can get creative on the shots, but all depends on things listed above, notice the pic of Dark Canyon above, overcast, sun was in a bad position, had the scoot too far from the road to see the twisties, etc. oh well
