I just got into photography at the beginning of this year. I bought a refurbished Canon Rebel XT and have had a fantastic time shooting and learning. But sometimes I'll just be out and about and see something that I think would make for a great shot and I don't have my camera on me. Well, it dawned on me recently that I've got a camera with me everywhere I go - my cell phone. With the insane amount of apps available on the iPhone, it's possible to make create some quality photos on your phone. I can't speak to other platforms (BlackBerry, Android), but I imagine similar results are possible. I like to think of it as fun hobby photography - something along the lines of polaroids or toy cameras. Technically, these may not be masterpieces, but it's fun to see what you can create with such limited resources. I try to shoot, edit and upload all from my iPhone, but there are no rules here really, just have fun. My very first attempt at iPhone photography. Probably wasn't the best choice to do it at night, but I think the blur actually works for the photo. Used an iPhone app called TiltShift Generator for this one. The sun was setting behind a building and it looked quite nice. I ultimately decided to just turn it into a silhouette and tint it purple. This one has pretty minimal editing to it. The shot is what it is, I just used Photoshop Mobile to lower the exposure a bit. So let's post/discuss our mobile photography!

I've been trying to do an 'iPhone photo of the day' on my twitter, but i probably only succeed 3 days a week. It's really helped with thinking about framing, and location scouting. Don't know if twitpic is leeching, but my host is currently wonky (where most of the images are) so I'm just posting links. http://twitpic.com/l8w25 http://twitpic.com/irhv8 http://twitpic.com/ipzg5 http://twitpic.com/ipzox

Panorama, of course. I really want to get an Iphone, it's just the web usage plans suck in Australia.

Caveat: I did not take these. I am however an Aerospace Engineer and seriously interested in this. Found these this past week and this thread reminded me about them: The key to understanding what's going on is to realize both were taken with camera phones. They camera element doesn't take the picture all at once like a conventional digital camera or an SLR. Instead, they take pictures by reading each pixel panning and working its way down the sensor. That takes a finite amount of time which, it just so happens, is near the period of a rotating propeller. Here's a youtube video of a MATLAB program that explains visually how the effect occurs as the propeller rotates: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T055cp-JFUA Science!

Hey guys, I love using my phone to take pictures every now and then. I usually use it when I don't have my slr on me, and I want to remember a location, or how it looks at a certain time of day or something. But this is a little extreme, it's a pano comprised of about 22-25 shots (there were a bunch of overlaps so I was sure I had coverage). taken with a 2mp samsung Instinct: and one exposure straight from the phone for reference: woo! Stitched in photoshop, it pretty much took care of everything.

I use my phone when I don't have my camera. Which is usually when I am in a rush, or I'm in a place I think it might get damaged.

It's really weird how I take so many photos with my phone that I wouldn't even think to take with my real camera. I'd like to take some b&w film with me to the dump (first picture,) though. iphone makes a good camera for location scouting if quality isn't a huge deal

I've been hoping a thread like this would come along. I used to loathe mobile phone cameras but I've recently come to adore permanently having a camera in my pocket.

These are some really neat photos! I've got a Samsung Propel and I'm just not happy with the image quality - 1280x720 and it only takes decent pictures in very good light. I should start taking photos with it more often anyway.

My mom just got a Droid, and it has a 5 MP camera built in. I took a couple of pictures with it and they came out pretty nice. I'm definitely going to have to borrow it to shoot some stuff. Makes me feel like my Canon is out of date for only having twice the MP as a phone/internet connected electronic doodad.

MP's don't matter that much when your dSLR's got 30 times the sensor area.AtomicManiac posted:Holy crap, what kind of phones is everyone using here? evil_bunnY fucked around with this message at 02:39 on Nov 17, 2009 |

AtomicManiac posted:Holy crap, what kind of phones is everyone using here? Not sure what people here are using, but I've always had the best luck with Sony Ericsson Cybershot phones as well as the Nokia N-Series (the N93 even has optical zoom wtf). Both brands have autofocus Zeiss-designed lenses on their mid-range to high-end phones. One thing you gotta keep in mind though- any phone, no matter how good the lens is, is going to have a tiny sensor which means you'll always get a little noise. I hear the iPhone 3GS has a decent camera too, and you can focus by literally touching your subject on the screen which is loving awesome.
