iPhone X Pics Taken with iPhone X

[mattopotamus]

Just wanted to start a thread for pictures taken with the iPhone X. Post ‘em up!

Here are some pics taken this weekend in Savannah.

I was in savannah a few weeks ago and have some very similar pics haha

We stayed at the Gastonian. Great property.

Focos (with the pro purchase) lets you adjust the start/end point and which slices are affected by both the front and back bokeh. It also lets you simulate different styles of bokeh and different aperture diaphragm shapes (like, you can get the triangular bokeh from the legendary Zeiss B Speeds, or just simulate different aperture positions on a traditional lens. Biggest benefit for me the swirl, dust, decay, bilinear, and corrosion settings that make it easy to squeeze the most organic looking depth of field rendering instead of relying on the predetermined stock blur.


It doesn't let you modify the depth map / mask in and out because I think it's a lot more complex than that. I'm still holding out hope for an app that can manually fine tune edges and stuff, but if you take a photo in Focos and go into the "EFFECT" tab, pull the perspective slider around and see just how many layers of depth are available nowawadays. I believe when the 7 Plus launched they boasted being able to find 9 slices of depth - now it looks like hundreds and hundreds.


I've saved poorly defined hair edges and stuff by simply adjusting which slice the blur begins at in Focos, though. The shot I posted earlier of the dog peeking out the van window originally mis-blurred the hair around his head. I nudged the start point a few slices forward and back until it solved the issue. YMMV.

Just downloaded this app. Thank you.
It's great! I didn't see a pro option to purchase though?

try the app called 'focos' - it lets you edit the depth map to push the blur back a few layers. Won't always work, but if you're lucky you'll be able to bring those glasses back into focus.

I wish focos worked well on ipad. On my 10.5 pro it isn't usable, and for photo editing the larger the screen the better really.


edit: cross posting from another thread in case it is helpful:

I'd like to experiment more with portrait mode. apps like focos and anamorphic let you see the different depth layers and adjust the amount of blur and even depth of field. Curious how flexible it can be vs proper DoF on a DSLR

Example - shot at a monument near the tower of London last week. This was originally one photos, but using focos to change the focus point when editing the photo. Because the original is artificially blurring the background, the original photo has detail in the background and depth information from comparing the wide and telephoto images - using focos you can see the 'slices' from foreground to background.

You can also adjust the strength of the blur, and the depth of field. I increased the blur to help illustrate the selective focus.

So I downloaded Focos, and tried to edit the picture of the silver-haired gentleman in my original post in order to clean up the messed up bokeh around his sunglasses, but am not having any luck. The tutorials aren't that helpful. How do you use it to clean up images?

While the camera sensor and lens of the iPhone X isn’t all that different or even better than my old S7E, the software is just SO MUCH BETTER.

Sure I could shoot RAW but it was such a huge pain in the ass, the native gallery app doesn’t support its own RAW images how idiotic is that!?
It also can’t shoot RAW to external storage, well so much for “expanded storage”, why the **** would I want storage I can’t easily access?
There was also no good app to develop those RAW files because android performance is pathetic compared to the A11.

Now on the iPhone I can shoot RAW with actually good apps like Halid, unlike in android with apps that can’t even afford to get a properly designed icon.

I can also edit RAW files right on my phone with desktop-class performance and results, pulling up all those shadows, it’s just unreal. I just wish there is a simplified version of affinity photo for iPhone.

I must be found something wrong. Because my X photos do not look much different to me than my 6s photos.

 

[markp-a]

Found = doing. Damn autocorrect still gets me.

Very nice pics.

It's the user, not the camera.

 

[bueller1]

Lol something is definitely wrong if your X pics are nothing short of impressive. Even coming from a 7 it’s significant.

[doublepost=1511233804][/doublepost]Mine are the 2 photos above. I know professional photographers understand the photo talk way more than I ever will, I’m just the basic I like to take photos everywhere type person. I’m really loving the iPhone X.

Same. I don’t think I could ever use a dslr and not because it’s super big/bulky but because i haven’t learned and I just like taking pictures.

I took this one using the Halide app

You want to increase the size of the front depth of field. Not done that a lot in focos but I think you use the 'effect' option and then you can drag the front slider to make it deeper, so more of the front area is in focus.

You can also try the 'anamorphic' app - the depth option there shows you the out of focus area in red adjusting as you move the slider.

Yes. I think back to the keynote when they announced the iPhone X and remember when they were taking pictures of the guys surfing. It talked about how the camera identified elements in the shot and adjusted accordingly. I think that must have been what was happening. Our river boat was coming back into the dock and the birds started swarming. So they were flying around and I used the telephoto lens in order to get some pictures of the seagulls. Each picture turned out really sharp.
