Here's a simple single-shot exposure taken with my iPhone 5 this morning. I used my Nikon D800 for most of the shots but grab this one in between. I edited this using Snapseed on the iPhone.
Workflows: Taking and Processing Photos with the iPhone 5
The iPhone 5 takes great photos, that's no secret. I often find that I can snap a great photo of the scene even with my giant DSLR hanging around my neck. The iPhone 5 does take great photos right out of the camera but I've been using a few apps lately to take those good photos to the next level. Give these a try:
1. Camera+: I use this to snap a series of photos. I pick the best one and I save it out to my camera roll. I love the the light box feature which lets me scroll through a bunch of shots before saving it to my camera roll. Also the burst feature lets me take super fast photos of my fast moving kids.
2. SnapSeed: Next I import the photo into SnapSeed and clean it up with an immense mount of filters and features. I'm going to write a separate post about SnapSeed because it's just that good. Then I either publish it right from here or I export it to my camera roll to be used in another app.
3. iPhoto: Then I import it into Apple's own mobile editing software iPhoto. It's great to use on the iPhone but even better to use on the iPad. I use this to remove blemishes or spots. My daughter had a piece of spinach on her face... delete!
I don't use all of these every time. And obviously I could use Camera+ for a lot of them, I could use SnapSeed for just about everything and the same goes for iPhoto.
Can you tell the difference between these two photos? Guess which one is an iPhone photo. The other is a Nikon D800.
Give up? Keep scrolling down....
The second one is an iPhone photo.
Wait, wait don't tell me. What's the name of this building?
Snapped this today with my iPhone 5 on my way to lunch. Can you name the building? First person to comment wins street cred.
Photo of the Day
I pass this building all the time and I can never figure out a good shot. Today I got lucky with the sun beaming off the glass. I only had my iPhone 5 with me.
Nice update to Camera+
A really nice update today from my favorite iPhone camera application. Looks great on iPhone 5.
