iPhonography Are We Dooomed? - part 2 of 1 2 3

Published 01/08/2010

I couldn't believe it, we agreed on a price and the deal was done. Now I only hope that the official photographer and his heavy Canon 1D doesn't catch up with me.

If this isn't a sign of the times I don't know what is. No longer will you worry about the weekend warrior, you will only fear everybody who buys a camera from ASDA, Tescos and all other camera shops like these ;-)

My only hope is left in composition. So as I climb a tree at my next wedding to get that different shot I'll smile in the knowledge that my iPhone can't. YET!!

Shown opposite are some examples of my favourite iPhone photographs... (scaled to 80%)

Thanks for reading

What is an iPhone?

In case you have been in a cave for a couple of years, here is what an iPhone is. It's a mobile telephone with so many bells and whistles that a normally balanced individual over the age of 50 will find it infuriating after just a few moments. The iPhone was launched by Apple in June 2007 and became available in the UK in the November of that year. The key component is the touch screen and the Apple team invested more than $150 million in 30 months in bringing the concept to market.

As well as the normal functions as a mobile phone, the touch screen has brought full internet access, email and graphics-based reading to the screen along with a camera, of course. It is really a small computer and as with all computers, it is possible to install additional applications to extend the usefulness of the device. To date almost a quarter million 'apps' have been made available by Apple and some of them are really useful to the working photographer. Almost everybody can benefit from having mobile communications but this adds GPS, maps, sun alignment charts, a compass and a camera-levelling device.
