  2. Why use an iPhone Camera? • Always have it with you • get shots you would otherwise miss • Can create images with a feeling of intimacy, immediacy, authenticity and fun • a different aesthetic from 'ultimate quality'(eg'Fine Art' on a gallery wall) • see http://visualsciencelab.blogspot.com.au/2013/10/the-graying-of-traditional-photography.html • especially useful for street photography (unobtrusive & ultimate quality not essential) • great for happy snaps and record shots - unpretentious • Does some things a DSLR can't • very wide depth of field • very close focus • There is a whole other world out there - try a Google search on iphoneography • eg see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPhoneography

  3. What About Image Quality? • iPhone is not as good as a DSLR – not ‘Ultimate Quality’ • but good enough for many purposes • and can sometimes get exhibition quality images (eg A3+ prints) • but often images are noisy, even at 50 ISO • Manual Mode is possible using Apps, such as 645 Pro (my preferred) and Camera+ • For instance, with 645 Pro: • set exposure and focus point separately; • live histogram; • shutter delay; • ability to lock exposure, focus and white balance (eg for making stitched panoramas); • Ref: http://jag.gr/645pro/ • With 645 Pro, can also use "dRAW" (ieTif files with no JPEG compression)

  4. What About Image Processing Apps? • There is a vast array of Apps available • they can do basic editing or highly stylised post processing • can also do Stitched Panoramas, HDR, Long Exposure and Mirror Images • Generally, anything the Apps can do, Photoshop (or plug-ins, such as Nik software) can do better • except that Apps allow instant gratification and on-line sharing • A discussion of Apps is beyond the scope of tonight's presentation • but could cover in a later presentation, if there is interest

  5. Examples of iPhone Photos (1) • The following examples of iPhone photos illustrate its capabilities • Close up and wide depth of field • General purpose, always at hand • Street photography • Apps for • slow shutter • stitched panoramas • High Dynamic Range • mirror images

  6. Examples of iPhone Photos (2) • The photos are mostly straight off my iPhone • with some on-phone post-processing • They don’t pretend to be brilliant • Are just to illustrate the capabilities of the iPhone 4S and some Apps • For photos intended as prints or exhibition • I normally do the post-processing in Photoshop • Some of the following photos were processed in PS
