iPhone Camera

[MrBlonde]

Is it just me or is hard to get a good photo using the iphone camera??.ive just got the new SE and thought the camera would be much better.but still cant seem to get that great photo!.keep taking photos of my 172 just not been really impressed yet

I'm the opposite, I think it's fantastic, but some pictures people post I wonder how they get them so bad.

I've got a 6S and I think the camera is very good. Especially the 4K video recording

 

[MrBlonde]

Hmm ok maybe just me then,prob as i was trying to take photos in this weather.

 

[MrBlonde]

Might help if i have the HDR on & Live?

 

[TheEvilGiraffe]

Put up some examples ?!

9/10ths of a picture is the person taking it tbh.

Composition and subject matter... having a £10k SLR doesn't mean you're going to miraculously take amazing photos :smile:

 

[MrBlonde]

Yeah that is true mate,think its me as had the brightness on my screen to low so looked all dark!.what a wally haha!.i'lll post couple of pics see what you think tho.

 

[MrBlonde]

These were taken without the HDR & Live mode on.

 

[DrR]

What's live mode??? Is that 6s moving picture thing?

Lighting plays a huge part in the iPhone sensor, when its bright and sunny the pictures are crisp and clear but when its cloudy or dimly lit then they just get so noisy and poor quality.

 

[MrBlonde]

Im not to sure myself mate,ive just had a quick read & it doesn't change the quality,just adds 3sec video with it i think or something like that,correct me if im wrong.

 

[MrBlonde]

Worth having the HDR mode on?

Looks like you've used zoom on the 2nd pic. Never use zoom.

 

[MrBlonde]

Yeah i did mate if to be honest,was just playing with it.Only just got the phone.

 

[Ex-User (19928)]

Zoom is a bit of a gimmick on phones. It's just digital zoom, which is the exact same as just taking a normal picture and then cropping it. Hence it ends up looking like that.

Best bet is just walking closer.

HDR is hit and miss.

Do you manually focus/expose on it? I've had some alright pictures off an iPhone.

Get art studio for editing too. It's like photoshop but on iOS

The detail and sharpness/depth of field can be epic when conditions are right.

But as soon as the light goes;
