I’ve been experimenting with the iPhone’s 2 megapixel camera. My results are definitely not as good as my old SLR. However, I take that with a grain of salt since I could never make a phone call with my SLR.
The iPhone’s Camera App. was designed for simplicity and ease of use. Simplicity they achieved, ease of use well almost. The main gripe to all iPhone owners is the difficulty of pulling off a good self portrait. The reason for this is the small touch screen shutter button which snaps on release. Combine that with the thinness of the device. It’s almost always results in some sort of blurriness. Well, unless James Cameron has a 15,000 watt light pointed at you. Even then if you don’t have a steady hand results still might very.
After you’ve managed to take a decent picture. You have a few options on how to share your newly created photographic masterpiece. However not one of those is to share it with another phone or even another iPhone. The easiest way to share them with your friends is by emailing them directly or to Flickr where it’s uploaded to your account. Once it’s uploaded and your near a computer I like to do a little photo editing with Flickr’s partner Picnik.
Picnik is an online photo editor. The reason I like this so much is that I don’t have to open Photoshop and it’s connected with Flickr so I don’t have to send files around to another site then back to Flickr. (more…)
Last Oct, my baby, my Mark2, was stolen from me along with some lenses. I’ve taken some decent pictures with friends’ cameras for work up until now. I found my self wanting to break the little consumer grade plastic pieces of…. But, I didn’t cause well they weren’t mine. So instead of going out and buying a nice new Mark3, I’ll be getting the new Canon Vixia HF10 HD flash based camcorder to jump start my Video Podcasting Career.
