Literally.  A closeup of a red onion I was slicing for potato salad (which came out fantastic, by the way).

Food is often amazing when you look closely,  especially veggies.  It was a humid day, the onion began to “sweat”, so I picked up a slightly greasy iPhone and snapped this closeup.  There was a little post-processing: contrast, saturation, etc, which gave the juice a gold tint, almost like mercury

The iPhone does a pretty decent job up-close like this.  There are macro clip-on lenses, which I will undoubtedly be trying and reviewing here soon.  For now though, I think the 4s’s 8 megapixel camera is pretty impressive straight off the factory floor.

For the curious, my potato salad recipe:

• 8 – 10 small red potatoes, halved and boiled
• 2 small pickling cukes, sliced thin
• 4 large red radishes, sliced thin
• 1/2 cup diced red onion
• 1/4 cup mayo
• 2 tblsp dijon mustard
• salt and pepper to taste

That’s it.  Combine, let sit in the frig for a few hours (better yet, overnight).  So good it’s the stuff of legend in my neighborhood.
