iPhoneography
Taking photographs with your iPhone.
I use my iPhone extensively as a digital camera, at work where it grabs screens shots, copies documents and records jobs,
and when walking and backpacking where is saves weight compared to a digital camera. It is the camera in my pocket for every occasion.
I have a selection of camera and imaging apps installed which add to the creativity of the iPhone camera these include.
- Pro HDR
- Camera+
- Pano
- 6X6
- Photogene²
but I still regularly use the iPhone camera app, which makes a great point and shoot camera with HDR. (You can search the iTunes App store for any of the above.)
When Googling iPhone photography I came across this site and blog, iPhoneography, which has some great articles, app reviews and outragous iPhone accessories. It is worth following if you are interested in iPhone photography.
