iPhone Photography

Most people think that for best results in Photography you need a DSLR or Bridge camera. The iPhone as are other Phone camera’s can be a very important piece of photography equipment, especially for those quick snaps. They can also be used as a main photography tool with the pixel quality increasing with every release. They are also excellent for uploading your results to most Media sites for sharing quickly or backing up to a Cloud storage for adjusting later on a Mac or Pc.

The iPhone iOS 5.1 update has improved the use of the Camera, making it easier to take those pictures when time is at a limit. There are also Apps available from the App store which are packed with effects and easy to use tools for Zooming,Focusing,Cropping etc. The best of these at the moment is Camera+, which has just been updated to version 3 and gets better with every update there is a small charge for this App but other free App’s are available.

Mobile communication devices are becoming more and more popular and there use’s are increasing. This can only mean that manufacturers will be increasing the quality of the camera’s available. This can only be a good thing for Photographer’s making these devices a more important tool in the camera bag or pocket.
