Its what I have set as my send signature under settings on the forum app, is it a problem?

That's not a signature, but an auto-last-line - if you want it as your signature you need to edit your profile settings and change your signature (no idea how you do this on mobile - might be best done on the PC)

I love my iphone and I have an olloclip lens for it which allows for impressive macro shots on the go! here's a lily Beatle I took with it, However! it's limited on what I can achieve with it.. there for my dslr will always be my 1st priorty camera, if you have an iphone peeps defo check out olloclip lenses they cool

Looks like a fun project! I've seen some outstanding shots from the iphone and if that's what you have with you when the moment is right to capture a feeling/thought, then fire away. That olloclip is doing a pretty awesome job. Did it come with a fish-eye also?

 

[cyberchickgeek]

Mines a 4 in 1 comes with fish eye, wide angle and two magnified macro ones, awesome little thing....although not quite awesome enough for me not to want a canon 100mm macro lens in my life though :-/

Great shot and good to hear you like your olloclip too.

As cyberchickgeek mentioned the olloclip is a 4in 1 lens with 2 macros a fisheye and wideangle, great bit of kit but not quite as good a dslr with good lens.

I have been using the pedestrian iPhone4 since the summer of 2011. I totally,totally agree with your idea of using the iPhone as a way to enhance your creativity and to enhance your photographic vision and skills. I mean, hey...15 years ago, the iPhone would have been hailed as a modern, ultra-compact, high-tech, high-resolution digital imaging system. I'm not sure if people realize the "old" iPhone4 has a backside-illuminated sensor, an f/2.8 lens, ISO range from 80 to 1,000, and a shutter with speeds from 1/15 second to 1/10800 second (yes, 1/10800), and has almost hyperfocal depth of field even at f/2.8. The iPhone is the best box camera the world has EVER known.

I am impressed with the Olloclip's performance. But the thing this set proves is that the iPhone is a real camera, trapped inside of a phone casing. Hell...I have a $500 Pansonic P&S with 10x zoom with up to 420mm e-length max zoom and OIS that has died, come back to life,k died, and come back to life. WHat a POS it has been as a camera. The iPhone has made 105,000 shots for me over 4 years. I love it.

This is my first time writing here and I have to admit, those are really nice shots with your iPhones. But I feel like you're not taking the best shots you could possible take with the dslr camera as you are with the iPhone. I have a nikon d3100 with the kit lens and I have been taking way better pictures than the ones you posted. And you have a micro lens and a better camera. Maybe it lost a lot of the details, highlights and so on when it was compressed. I understand you're trying to expand your creativity but don't make it look like the iPhone can even compare to a dslr. It's almost insulting.
ps.
why are your dslr photos smaller size than the iPhone ones.???

 

[cyberchickgeek]

The iphone is an awesome camera but the capabilities of a dslr do throw it out of the competition imo, i couldn't make money doing photo shoots with my iphone, my dslr is an asset within my business. I love technology and gadets but sometimes get the feeling they are trying to combine to many things, an iphone is for communication, watches are just for telling time! (who needs a smart watch!?) and cameras/dslrs are for taking pictures

I'm not knocking iphone photography I'm always out using my olloclip and taking iphone snaps and I'm also pleased and sometimes shocked with how well the iphone does but I just couldn't compare it to my dslr shots

It doesn't matter if your using iphone, nokia lumia, vintage film camera, little compact or a canon 5D MK iii with a shiny L lens the important thing is taking part in photography and enjoying it

Point taken and yes my dslr does take brilliant photos, this was a quick comparison. I use it a lot and love it but there are many occasions I just don't have it with me so this is the reason I am pushing to learn all the capabilities of the iphone.

The reason the dslr photos are smaller is because I had to resize them for the forum.

I agree the iphone currently would be no good for business photography, might be a matter of time lol. It was said a few years back that digital would be no replacement but look where that has come. I cant wait to see how we all use technology in the future.
