The iPhone camera has been both maligned and praised for it's effect on digital photography. But the popularity of the iPhone has made it ubiquitus, and it is having a definite effect on the way people take pictures today. This is a gallery of photos that I have taken that showcase some of the features and limitations of the iPhone as a photographic tool. All of these pictures were taken with an iPhone camera and edited exclusively with apps available on the iPhone.

Reflections



Another picture of the same aircraft that I took at the Camarillo air show. I wanted to push the limits of the iPhone 4 camera so I stood directly in the glare cast by the sun reflecting off of the wing. the glare overpowered the standard camera app and it simply could not get the shot. I switched to Pro HDR to capture this image and it did a beautiful job at capturing the full dynamic range in the scene. I especially like how it really brings out the deep colors of the reflections on the polished fuselage of the Mustang. This picture does highlight one of the drawbacks of using Pro HDR however: Any moving object can create strange effects. Take a look about midway along the wing and you will notice the decapitated body walking underneath. It seems to have left it's head floating nearby above.
