iPhone photos

I use Camera+ it is night and day difference between the native phone camera. The color and clarity is just SO much better, I now even hate using the native camera for something silly to send in a text

 

i use camera + too. iPhone 5S (love pictapgo and vsco for edits just like Laura. they are my GO TOs)
wondering what Farrah uses ... her photos are amazing (and didn't know many of them are camera phone shots!)

 

Here is an example. It's a silly shot in bad light of something on my desk but you can see how with no adjustments the color is much more realistic in the Camera+. ETA - sorry its so big, I can't ever get that right in photobucket!

 

Whoa, Lucrecia- I have used Camera+ occasionally, but I'd never seen a side-by-side comparison like that. What an amazing difference! I'll definitely be using it as my default from now on. Now, if only I could replace the camera app in the lock screen and lower swipe menu to Camera+ instead of the native app!

 

when you figure that out ... let me know!!!

 

You can't do that without jailbreaking the iPhone.

 

I'm gonna have to give camera+ another go. I use VSCO for all my edits. I LOVE that app.

 

I have the 5S...and I edit with either snapseed or VSCO. I should also mention that I also have the photo jo jo lenses that attach via magnets. I should also mention that EVERY photo I take is edited in some way...there's a LOT that you can do to help out less than stellar photos and when in doubt, I'll just convert it to BW.

No matter what camera you use...it's all about lighting. With decent light, most cameras will do great. =)

Let me look for some examples =)

 

OR...if anyone has a specific example...I'd be happy to give some pointers

 

Oh and btw....the front camera on iPhones is much much worse than the back camera

 

thanks for your input. i also have those photo jo jo magnet lens ... gonna go hunt them down!

 

Ok...I found a good example. Sometimes we can not control when and where our kids look cute (or what they choose to wear - LOL)...but when an adorable smile comes up, you gotta grab it. The photo on the left is SOOC with my iPhone....bad lighting, lots of odd colors in the background (and foreground) that attract the eye....it's not even in focus...but...when turned to BW, all that stuff goes unnoticed and you just see a cute snapshot of my cute berry pie.



and when scrapped, you'd probably never guess I'd used my iphone

 

a few more examples/tips (you've opened a flood gate) =)



the app Big lens works great for creating realistic looking selective focus...like in the marble shot

I also used Big lens and VSCO T1 for the cooking shot...love the muted presets in the VSCO app

Lemons- also T1 from VSCO...and composition...framing always makes a difference in how "professional" a photo seems

Claire's eye was with my iphone 4 and the macro lens from photo jo jo.

The elephant was edited in Snapseed...including the added sunflare.

 

in terms of scrapping...I tend to keep the iphone photos on the smaller side...I don't think they'll look great at 12x12, but at 2x3 with other elements, they look great.
