iPhoneography

Prior to getting my Apple iPhone4 my "walking around camera" was supposed to be my Canon S90, which I tricked out with a better grip and a filter mount for a polarizing filter from Lensmate. Unfortunately, the S90 was not as pocketable as I thought it would be, and therefore, often stayed in my backpack or at home next to my lonely D70s DSLR.  I did take it out more frequently than the D70s, and often fastened a case to my belt when going on a hike or short trip.

There were quite a few reviews about how good the iPhone camera was and how nicely the retina display represented the  photos on the phone, but I was a bit skeptical.  On this last trip, I have to say that I have changed my mind.This little pocket device got more action on my last trip than any other electronic device I've owned.   Not only did it find us places to eat, give me directions, and make reservations, but it also allowed me to shoot a ton of pictures, edit them and share them online with just a few flicks, pokes and swipes. This blew me away on my trip to the Pacific North West.

After the trip, I heard a This Week In Photo podcast that talked about iPhonography and remembered that this year at the San Diego Fair photo exhibit, they had a new category for entries called Cell Phone Photo with some amazing shots. I think I want to explore this "format" more this year and see where it goes. 

The photos above and other iPhonography stuff I've made were taken and processed with a variety of apps including...
- My favorate camera app so far:  Camera+
- The standard iPhone Camera app
- TiltShiftGen
- AutoStitchand
- SynthCam
