Post your Photos Taken with an iPhone 4

All these pictures are really great.

But when you edit them and then post them without any info, we're left wondering "WTF did they use to get that effect?"

So if you edit your picture in any way, please let everyone know what app you used.

Thank you. ;)

Nice. Do you remember which lens and film you used to take those?
 
Can we start a HDR vs. non HDR photo thread already? Just cause Apple added it doesnt mean that it makes your camera better. There is a time and a place for eveything.

Somebody already tried and got slammed saying they should post it in this thread.

You are right there is a time and place for everything. And right now I think this is the right place and time to show another HDR comparison.

ok i know you can take pics however you want, but i don't think Apple intended you to use pictures in that way.

you're sitting in your car, taking pictures of what exactly?

fail.

i'll excuse you b/c you're a fellow magic fan but i'm shooting that to show what HDR picks up as opposed to a normal shot


i took all of these today, just now:

Natural camera on iphone:

Apple's HDR:
491874c6.jpg


Pro HDR:
a58c0b19.jpg



that is a better example of how i think Apple's HDR is no where near as good as Pro HDR
 
Mixed results so far

I tried the HDR camera outdoors, one photo was just darker but the other was much better. Need to keep working with it. The first picture of each was with HDR off.

Great photos here!

I was wondering... is there an app where I can manually control the iPhone4's aperture? I want to be able to allow a lot of light in at night for X amount of time as my iPhone4 lens gazes at the night sky. Is there an app for that?



I took this with ProHDR yesterday. I've not updated my i4 yet. Going to wait for a solid JB first. I can live with the proximity sensor issue for now. People act like the skin is evaporating off their face over that issue. Is the Apple HDR any better than ProHD anyway? Does the Apple HDR take the photos very quickly? ProHD takes awhile and when the subject moves it's just a waste.

Here's one of a Dragonfly that paused long enough for ProHDR to capture what it needed. Picasa "I'm feeling lucky" button jazzed up the photo:

I won't upload and post any photos, too time consuming, but I will say that HDR is a fantastic and welcome addition that makes the photos look amazing.

sort of. It's called SlowShutter. And you can set it to either use or ignore shutter control. Meaning - it takes a series of photos and overlays them. Enabling shutter priority means that you basically get a single image that is combined from several where light metering is the same. So you can capture action (with normal lighting) and see the motion.

By disabling shutter priority - it works similar to leaving the shutter open. Useless with any decently lit scenario. But in very low light or dark settings - it allows you to take a "long" exposure and then adjust the sensitivity afterwards as well.

Either way - a tripod is a must or you'll get a blurry result.

From what I understand ProHDR is better but takes longer. Apple's HDR is so fast I didn't think it was taking multiple exposures.

ProHDR is better and has more control overall + post processing. It takes longer because Apple hasn't allowed developers to access all the camera APIs. Which I am sure makes sense either technically (as to avoid issue) or business-wise (to make sure their apps are fastest/best in some regards).

Hopefully this will change or lighten up so that apps like ProHDR get the same access

Just did a test. I think ProHDR results look better to me but, of course, it costs extra.

I think ProHDR's results in those photos are really bad. The image looks so unnatural.

hdr really isn't supposed to look natural lol

From Wikipedia (because I can't say it better):
"This wider dynamic range allows HDR images to more accurately represent the wide range of intensity levels found in real scenes."

HDR is supposed to be used in scenes where your camera would normally have to choose to expose for the bright areas or the dark areas of an image. A lot of people here are posting images of a scene that doesn't even have a high dynamic range to begin with.

Why would you need to apply the iPhone's HDR to something that's already properly exposed and has no blown out or shadowed areas?

do a google image search for hdr pictures, and get back to me on how many of them look "natural".
