Photography with your iPhone

If you look at the sky in this photo, you’ll notice that it’s mostly white with a few strange-looking blue clouds on the right side. In other words, by properly exposing for the windmills, I have overexposed the sky.



Rene Ritchie Thats an interesting question. iPhone 5 isn't sold any more. It's not supported by iPhone 3G either. How far back is it useful for us to go? I'd argue currently sold hardware only, so maybe iPhone 5s and iPhone 5c? 0 1 year ago Reply mulasien Technically the 5C is a 5, so by your definition, I'd say that the 5 is worth mentioning as it is currently sold - just with a plastic shell over the same internals. Also, I think your response had more snark than was warranted. In response to the original question, my 5 had burst mode but did not have auto HDR. The 5S was the first iPhone to have auto HDR, however burst mode is available on any iOS 7 and up device (unless I'm mistaken). Burst mode isn't an option to toggle, just hold down the shutter button and it will automatically take burst photos. 2 1 year ago Reply emjayess I'd say his tone was reserved and about right given the snark of the commenter. 1 1 year ago Reply gordol There was no snark intended in my original comment. I was asking for clarification on the availability of the features specified since I did not know burst mode was a hidden feature (all the 3rd party camera apps I've seen that have it specify it as a shooting mode), and auto-HDR is not seen either on my iOS8.1.1 iPhone 5. 1 1 year ago Reply Rene Ritchie There's a subtle difference - modern iPhones use the ISP to select the best shots from a burst. Older iPhones simply take multiple photos one after the other. 2 1 year ago Reply

it's dumb but NEVER SHOOT into the sun, so many people make this mistake it bothers me lol. Camera+ best app to edit pictures, focus on what is closer to you to have better light in the picture. Panorama for a better quality picture then crop. HDR doesn't always give you the best picture, you can adjust brightness, color and all that after the picture is taking for your liking.

It’s a good idea to get in the habit of accessing the camera from the lock screen on your iPhone. Press the Home button to wake up the screen, and slide the camera icon to the top of your display. This way, you can take a shot without having to enter your passcode or using Touch ID.

If you're not in a rush to snap a quick shot, I suggest downloading some of the third-party manual camera apps available. Apple's opened a bunch of controls up to developers, including shutter speed, ISO, white balance, and exposure, which means that you can often snap a photo with much more clarity than you would be able to from the default camera application.

Ken Very informative, thank you, I am using an iPad, how would I keep it steady long enough to not blur the image? If I could prop it up how would I press the shutter button without disturbing it? Thanks again Emil Pakarklis Well, you need to get creative. Try supporting it somewhere like on the ground or on the fence to minimize camera movement. Darren Is HDR improved at all when using the iphone 5s? Emil Pakarklis The built-in HDR is slightly better and so much faster, so yes. TW Is there any way to get rid of the ghosting from ProHDR in post? Emil Pakarklis You can try to use Selective Adjust in Snapseed, it’s not a perfect solution but it works. Or you can use masking software to blend the HDR image together with an identical non-HDR image, but that’s way harder. iOS7_Us3r Great post! Really enjoyed this and now, I am seeing greater photos in my photo album on my iPhone! Thanks so much! Keep it up!!! Emil Pakarklis Awesome, I’m so happy to hear that! soumita sharma can i use it im my samsung smart phone too? Emil Pakarklis I’m sure they have the equivalent functionality on Android phones, and ProHDR is also available there. So the short answer is yes! tim242 The S5 has real time HDR in the viewfinder. Works really well. Ron Aliprand It is built in on the S3. Open cam, touch Shooting mode, scroll down to HDR and select. Don’t forget to select Single shot again after. For S2 you can download and app to do it Fahd Very interesting article! is it possible to have access to the original low dynamic images, which were used to render the final HDR image? thanks! Emil Pakarklis In iPhone camera app you have that option if you turn on “Save Original Image” in Settings -> Photos & Camera. Shabaz thanks bro. I am frm punjab and here is great trend of HD pic. so thx again Alan Spicer How did you know there was a great trend? Karan Hey ! Why can’t I keep my flash on while takin’ a HDR photo ?
