Since the last post had a lot to do with point and shoot camera, this is a good opportunity to sneak in some of my favorite iPhone shots. The images in the gallery below are all shot using iPhone 3Gs with variety of camera software, some of them camera+, hipstamatic and photoforge (this is as close to photoshop on an iPhone as you can get).

I dare say that some of the images below can rival shots taken from a DSLR in terms of composition and colours, obviously if we are talking sensor size and megapixels camera phones are puny against any DSLR. I hope this can inspire people, that to take good photos you don’t have to have an expensive DSLR or vice-versa, having a DSLR doesn’t make one a good photographer .

Here’s the gallery for your viewing pleasure:

In my opinion, our photography shouldn’t be limited only to our digital cameras and SLRs. Lately with so much apps available for iPhone, there has been quite a lot of quality software which we can use to take interesting photos as well as editting it on the spot using the iPhone. I’d like to share a few of my favourite apps that I use frequently on my iPhone. Obviously for serious photography stuff the SLR is still my choice, but there’s nothing wrong with taking fun pics; which most of the times turned out to be interesting

1. The default camera app, love the touch focus

2. PhotoForge, this is a very powerful image editting software. Feels like having desktop photoshop on my iPhone

3. Pano, great photostitching software!

4. Photoshop mobile, this is much less powerfull than PhotoForge but is handy for quick editting and adding borders.

5. Last but not least, Hipstamatic, amazing software that gives all of the photos taken that retro touch! You’ll be amazed how creative you can be with this

The trick is as always, to not only use one app at all times. Instead, try different combinations. Shoot with one app and edit with other apps. You’ll get interesting results.
